Last year we featured Lion vs. Gazelle, Frog vs. Fly and Whale vs. Fish mittens, but this season Wolf vs. Sheep, Cat vs. Dog and Owl vs. Mouse have been added to the lineup.

You’ve seen silly bandz everywhere. Maybe you’ve bought them for yourself or someone else. But it’s not often a silly band can be both fun and informative.

Kikkerland had come out with a line of Kama Sutra Bands. Granted, you’re not going to want to trade them with your kids, but there’s some fun to be had on an adult level.

That’s right—fingerless gloves in the form of your favorite TMNT characters. Fingerless gloves aren’t just for bums and early ’80s Eddie Murphy stand-up routines anymore.

Having GPS integrated directly into your goggles is probably the best way to receive location data while barreling down the slopes, but having a GPS display on your glove is probably the next best thing. The upcoming Xplore.XGS from Zanier features a monochrome GPS display on the thumb of the glove, making it seem as though your are super stoked about your run down the mountain (thumbs up all the way!).

The gloves can be connected via USB to your computer in order to download data, and the fabric is Gore-Tex so your fingers  and the electronics should stay warm and dry. Unfortunately, no pricing or release date information has been made available thus far.

hi 5 mittensAlthough you’ll enjoy the double whammy “hello” that you can give with the combination of a conventional wave and the added “Hi” printed on one of the mittens, the waning  popularity of the high five coupled with the fact that mittens have a cool factor of zero means that the only high five action they will see will be with each other.
