Time to take off the gloves

Nordic walking gloves are interesting things. Some poles have gloves that are attached to the pole and require you to actually slip the your hand out of them if you needed a free hand. Newer models have gloves with a quick release so you can release from the poles more quickly and conveniently if you needed to do something like get your keys out of your pocket.
