We"re big fans of taking classics and throwing in a little somethin"-somethin" to upgrade it to a higher level. Not that there was anything wrong with it before, course not, but now Now it"s ready. Take The North Face Denali Glove for example. It has that classic fleece look from your childhood days of playing (read as: fighting and getting hurt) with whatever random latchkey kids happened to be roaming the neighborhood that day. However, they have reinforced the knuckles, backs of the fingers, and fingertips with nylon to prevent abrasions and added elastic around the wrists to keep body heat in. It"s the big kid version of your first pair of gloves.Snowball fights were always a trial and a half with fleece gloves. You"d painstakingly create a flawless sphere of powder, with a solid ice core because snowball fights are serious business, and throw with perfect pitching form. Yet more snow was left on your gloves than flew through the air. Not now. The Denali glove also has a PU gripper palm for added durability and grip. So stay warm while letting your inner child thrive, and pelt some small children with snowballs, you know, to make sure the gloves work.
