When me and my girlfriend decided thatwe would move from Brazil to Sweden (she's swedish) one of the first things I thought was: I'm gonna need gloves!
But this simple task is not that easy in a tropical country like Brazil so, once again, I went to the internet. It was a while ago (almost two years now) and back then I had no idea FILA had an online shop so I ended up at the eBay website (as most of the times). There I found one auction which looked interesting (by the images used) but didn't really say a lot. besides saying FILA Gloves. They actually looked awesome so I decided to bid and finally the auction ended up in something around $15 USD but (there is always a but) what wasn't the surprise when I got the gloves:

They really give a lot of protection, not only against the cold but I would say they're almost bullet proof. Made in kevlar, they're simple HUGE and very good looking with the FILA logo embroidered in red and white but later on I found out they're meant to be used for snowboarding. Maybe that's why people were looking at me in a weird way when I was using them here in Malmö and though I agree it might be funny walking around with snowboarding gloves as regular gloves, I'd say it was a very nice mistake because they're very comfortable, warm and work as a shield to your hands.
