Has anybody had any success replacing single gloves when a single one is lost? I think I probably know the answer already but just thought I'd ask before shelling out hard earned cash on a new pair. I lost a mountain equipment Randonee glove in the Alps this year after little use at a cost of around £50 which is very frustrating. I've emailed mountain equipment but had no reply, I guess lost single gloves helps them sell more pairs.

In reply to Alan.T: The secret is to buy cheap gloves...
In reply to Alan.T: my girlfriend at the time, now wife lost a flip flop between the rocks in a bay. I told her to check a website called "repairthepair.com" i thought it was worth a try?
The decent thing to do is to throw the other one after the one you dropped - that way at least somebody has a chance of getting a pair of gloves, even if it's not you.
A flip flop? Even tighter than me, they must only be a fiver a pair, got yourself a good one there, not surprised you married her. I didn't think about throwing the other one off for somebody else to find, a good excuse for going back next year to try and reunite the pair. Already have mitts but like to have gloves also, would buy cheap ones if I could find any warm enough. Thanks anyway.
In reply to Alan.T: I've got the following if any one has the other to match -
North Face E tip glove - left hand
Outdoor designs polartec glove - left hand
Burton AK strtch glove - left hand
In reply to Alan.T:
buy another pair and you'll have a spare.
it'd be daft for anyone to sell single gloves (unless they were chainmail or chainsaw ones or something). Can you imagine all the space they'd take up in the warehouse?
In reply to Alan.T: Don`t give up! I lost a glove skiing in the Jura last year,I thought I had dropped it getting into the car at the end of the days skiing but it turned up 5 days later by a bus stop in Geneva where I had stopped to clear ice off the car window!
I think it's time for my fabulous new business: the GloveMatch.com website, uniting lonely gloves across the globe with other halves which match: for every left glove lost, there's probably a right one goes, and for evey one found ... well, you get the picture. If I charge a quid for every pair that is re-united or made up afresh, I'll make.. oh, £2.50 ... But how long before Russian glove-forgers on the make get wind of it and start posting alluring picture of attractive gloves to snare the unwary and desperate?
