LEXICON: contact gloves

Gloves used primarily when skinning. Regular ski gloves are not ideal for skinning because they'll just get hot and sweaty but not wearing gloves isn't really a good option either because your hands will get too cold, especially if they come into direct contact with the snow or metal objects. Most FreeRiders and Ski Tourers will stow their ski gloves when skinning or touring and wear a thinner pair of gloves, often with some kind of contact grip in the palm.
