DAVE'S FAVOURITE GLOVE
For a photographer like Dave, who often works in cold and harsh conditions averaging -5˚c and stretching down to -20˚c, the right gear is essential. That's why the Markhof Pro V3 photography gloves by Vallerret are his favourite. These gloves offer the perfect balance between warmth and dexterity, allowing Dave to manage his camera controls without compromising comfort. The gloves feature a flip-over thumb and index finger design, providing easy access to touchscreens and buttons, which is crucial when shooting in freezing temperatures. Their durable build and insulation make them ideal for the extreme environments where Dave thrives, whether he's chasing the Northern Lights in Norway or capturing winter landscapes in Lapland.
His choice of the Markhof Pro V3 highlights his dedication to both his craft and the importance of using specialised gear that supports photographers in the most demanding situations where time is of the essence and it’s critical to be in the right place at the right time, and to be ready for anything to happen!
