When the temperatures drop, losing an outer glove or mitt could lead to serious damage to your fingers and hand. Yet, sometimes you need to be able to take off that outer glove for improved dexterity or to better feel the terrain. If you gloves don't come with a factory installed leash, you can create a do-it-yourself option.
In the video I use: 1) The Outdoor Research Mixalot Glove (newer version available), 2) The Giro 100 Proof Glove v2.0 (newer version available), and 3) PMI Utility Cord 3mm.
