STEVE'S FAVORITE GLOVE

"The Markhof Pro V3 is my go-to glove because it hits the perfect middle ground of warmth, dexterity, and style. Whether I’m out in the cold filming live broadcasts or grabbing my camera for street photography, these gloves keep my hands warm without losing the precision I need to adjust dials and controls. They’re a lifesaver during long outdoor shoots when every second counts. For the even colder days, the Tinden or Skadi LRS gloves are my top picks for unbeatable warmth and protection." – Steve
