I think I can speak for the entire
MTB-community when I say that the last couple of weeks have been ‘fingerfreezing’
for all of us. This year, low temperatures arrived rather late but left us
unexpected in the cold, and we were in a strong need for gloves, snowboots,
scarves, hats and winter jackets. While the rest of the student world was still
enjoying cocktails on Ibiza, we were trying to avoid undercooling, with the
result that the majority of us experienced some illnesses in recent days.
The
worst thing about this kind of weather is the use of your cellphone. Try typing
a message or dialing a number while wearing three-layer woolen gloves, wear
nothing and you risk losing a finger. In the context of the MTB-community we
had to face similar challenges: a last-minute change of location or hour of
appointments, meetings and teamworks made it impossible not to use your smartphone.
So they invented Smartouchgloves, gloves that you can wear while still being
able to type a message, to “Connect in the cold”! Although they seem a bit futuristic, I think these gloves are
yet another – farfetched? – gadget for our modern time environment.
