Vallerret’s Tinden gloves: Perfect for frigid outdoor photography

Living on the West Coast of Canada, I don’t typically experience frigid winter temperatures. I’ve never really been confronted by the frozen finger syndrome that plagues other cold weather photographers. However, this year I started doing some freelance work at my local ski hill. 

As luck would have it, we went through a record-breaking cold-snap early in the season. I was caught trying to photograph fireworks at night with no gloves. I definitely paid the price on my poor, numb fingers. When you can’t feel whether you’ve hit the shutter button or not, it’s time to warm up! Needless to say, when I was offered the chance to try the new Vallerret Tinden gloves (US | EU), I was immediately intrigued.
