I usually start with the cheap white taxidriver gloves you get in any shop on the way for 1 rmb. They cover at least you skin from the sun and when they get dirty, you just buy another pair ;)


For Tibet i had some plastic gloves that became pices after 2 weeks.


In Qinghai i changed from the taxidriver gloves to some sheepskin gloves for 10rmb that lasted until europe. today i use this gloves to take things out of the oven, they are still fine.


On the last Tibet trip i finally used real gloves (my scooter gloves from long time ago).


Now better dont ask what kind of shoes we use.
Note: plastic bags in shoes can keep the water out of them, at least for some time :)
