[NAGDU] gloves

[Lisa Belville]

Hi, Gretchen.


You might want to consider polyurethane or the real stuff, leather.  
These are the only materials I've found that give me enough traction 
when holding a harness or especially a cane. Isotoner is one brand that 
comes to mind. They are a bit more expensive then other gloves.  But 
they will let you use your mobility aid of choice while keeping your 
hands warm.  They even make them so you can use a touch screen if that's 
something you need.


I got a very cheap pair off of Amazon about two years ago and they do 
the job.  They're fleece-lined, but I can still grip the harness handle 
easily, and the flease lining keeps my fingers warm longer.
