Now...about that finger

Breckenridge has been Charlie's home for 30 years.  An avid skier, a developer and now a resourceful entrepreneur, Charlie's enthusiasm is contagious, so we settle down to see the goods and hear the story.

 

Click on these for a  closer look	If you've spent any time in cold weather, you know that gloves are a necessary part of your gear.  They are also a pain in the neck if you want to snap a picture, get a dollar out of your pants, lather chap stick on your lips, get your car keys, or any number of other must do's.   Then, when you finally get the job done, your glove is gone, lying in the snow somewhere or being run over by a car. Charlie has solved these problems with an enormous breakthrough.  He calls it Quickfinger®. It's a glove with a zipper ingeniously placed between your thumb and forefinger so when your hand needs out, it can get out without taking off your glove!
The zipper is designed to open all the way so you can get your entire hand out, or partially for just the thumb and forefinger.  It also serves as a ventilator.  Hands too cold?  Unzip and blow in some hot air.  Too hot?  Unzip and cool them down.   Other features include a CUFF PULL, a strip of material to help adjust the glove without stretching the wristband, a SNUG TAB, allowing you to get your hand in snugly, a ZIPPER PULL, making the zipper easy to pull, a VELCRO HINGE HOLD, which stabilizes the fabric and makes the zipper easy to pull, and a YKK COIL ZIPPER, a self-mending slider.     The gloves are made of quality materials that keep your hands comfortable with waterproofing and breathability features.  Charlie explains that the trick is learning how to zip and unzip.  After one short lesson we are zipping like experts.  He's thought of everything. Would you like to Get the Finger?  Or perhaps you'd just like to give it to someone.  Visit the QuickFinger® website for the lowdown including a simple method for figuring out what size you wear. Tell Charlie we sent you.  These gloves may well be the last ones you'll ever buy!
