Thermal gloves

[Carole]

Hi all
I know it's pretty late to worry about it, but the gear list specifies "thermal gloves".
Is it as specific as the thermal pants or can it be any gloves?
I have a pair of windstopper gloves and was wondering if these are accepted as the mandatory gear, and if they will be warm enough too (I have no idea how cold it can be in the Blue Mountains...)

Thanks !

Hi Carole

Last year i used a pair of Nike running gloves - and they were ok as they are "insulated" with some fleece. It does get pretty cold at night so need to protect extremities. just those were good enough for me but i am having a spare pair of gloves at CP4 just in case

Good luck!
