TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Aldi Arthritis gloves?

Tue 05 Apr, 2016 1:04 pm

Just got the catalogue in the box
Has anybody tried these long fingerless gloves yet? I saw them last year but I wasn't going away for the winter so I never bothered
If you have what are the made from and how is the fit?
Not that I really need new gloves but I paid about that for the 2 pair of polypro fingerless from Katmandu and those only just lasted the season, well actually the R/H gloves wore out so I still have a pair

I don't think that you need gloves to get arthritis.
My grandmother had arthritis in her fingers yet I don't remember her ever wearing gloves.

Same here. I've found strapping it helps. Tried knee socks but haven't found any that stay up. Must be too lean. For downhill skiing, I use some CWX Insulator Pro tights, they help a lot. They have extra elastic to stabilise the joint and as long as I don't do jumps I finish the day without any knee pain.

Anyone tried KT Tape? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nC71d5ERZVk

They usually have compression tights during the ski sale
