Do you ever find it difficult to work with all your ECW gear on? I would think it would be hard to pick things up with your hands. In some of the pictures it looks like people are wearing different gloves. Are those special working gloves?

Hey Katie,Good question. ECW can be a bit frustrating at times, especially when
you're trying to work with something small, like a zipper. It's okay to
take your glove off for a minute or two, but not too much longer.
Usually, I wear two sets of gloves at all times. The ones that you can
see are leather work gloves. They stay dry and have good grip. Under
that I wear wool gloves for warmth. Sometimes I wear gloves (five
fingers) and sometimes I wear mittens (thumb and then the four fingers
together). Everyone seems to experiment until they find a glove system
that works for them.
Thanks for the question!
