With all of the talk about H1N1 and all sorts of other germs and stuff these days we are all trying to find the best way to keep ourselves and our families healthy. I think our hands seem to be one of the leading things that we need to be active about.
Get Glovd sent me a pair of their gloves to try out. Now what does this have to do with germs you ask? Well, the Get Glovd gloves are made out of bamboo yarn which is naturally antimicrobial and antibacterial plus it inhibits the growth of bacteria and fungi that cause odor! The yarn is actually 100% mechanically processed which means they don’t use chemicals to process it – this is a good thing! Other great benefits are that the gloves are hypoallergenic, it is very breathable and provides comfort through moisture wicking, it gives UV protection, and these properties are maintained through multiple washings even.
Every time I tough something soft made of bamboo I am amazed at how soft it really is. Bamboo fabrics and yarns feel more like cashmere. Super soft and very comfortable. The Get Glovd gloves are no different, super soft and smooth and very comfortable to wear. They come in a mens (all black), womens (black with lime stripe), and kids (black/lime striped).
I love these for going shopping at places like Wal-Mart. I can leave my gloves on and not worry so much about exactly who else has touched everything before me and what kind of germs they had! Think about those of you that ride public transportation or if you are working with money – really just all sorts of folks these gloves would be perfect for!
