Designed by UK amateur astronomer Martin Hall, these are the perfect addition to your astronomy kit bag. The semi-fingerless design – whereby your thumb and first two fingers of each hand are free – allows you to maintain control while changing eyepieces, tightening clamps and focusing your telescope on those cold winter nights. The sturdy gloves are made from durable neoprene and feature double-layer spandex backs. The palms are made from padded synthetic leather. They’re available in three sizes: small, medium and large.
