Jeepers, ya go into a minor hibernation and all the gear from the store is gone! Now McO and Caboose have to be innocent, so what happened?

Thanks

Regarding the BPL store, lightly put BPL decided to move in a different direction and the online store was effectively shut down. Members and Lifers/Staff can see most/all the details in the BPL Members Only and BPL Strategic Planning forums.You can still find Possumdown straight from the source in NZ, here's a link:
http://www.possumdown.co.nz/Default.aspx
and the gloves (available in a multitude of colors, no less):

As an alternative, I suppose you could also try posting a WTB in gearswap as well…
Good luck,
Joe

The gloves, while admittedly soft and warm, will shred easily when wet.
There are better glove options out there…..try merino wool gloves from the likes of smartwool and Icebreaker. Add a lightweight windblock shell for those cold, windy days or to give the liners some protection from snow or light rain.
Aug 14, 2011 at 6:06 am #1769156Thank you both for the kind time to reply. I was hoping to find a US source but alas no go. I have tried as many glove combos as possible, but I have nothing better than the possumdown liners under a shell, even a tyvek mitten. These babies are simply awesome. The smartwool just does not work for me at all
