Would love good gloves!

My collie loves to play fetch, and I always take a ball or Frisbee on our walks. At the moment though it's so cold, the Frisbee actually gets coated in ice! I'm in danger of getting frostbite throwing it. I have loads of pairs of gloves, wool, leather, synthetic – you name it, I've tried them. But the toy is so wet that before long my hands are damp and cold. My husband bought me a pair of waterproof mittens but they are so thick and unwieldy I can't even hold a lead while wearing them, let alone throw a toy. Please help before my fingers fall off!

I know exactly what you mean! Santa brought me a wonderful pair of gloves made by Sealskinz – www.sealskinz.com. They do a huge range, and yes, some are too thick for this purpose. I have just checked mine and they are the Versatility Glove – they are thick enough to keep my hands warm, but thin enough to enable me to pick up a toy or put on a lead. They are fully waterproof, and my hands stay really cosy in them. Pricey, but well worth it.
