you can buy snow gloves with wipers on them, I have a pair of gloves for snowboarding at home with this wiper feature. quite handy in the right conditions.

...or he could have just bought a pair that already had a wiper attached. They've been commonplace on motorcycle gauntlets for years now.

@Steven & armcurl
Wait, what's this site called -- "Make", or "Buy"? Who cares if "he could have just bought a pair" if he *doesn't need to* because he can *make* them :P
Go play elsewhere, with your shiny, bought toys...

Dave,

You're right, and so are Steven and armcurl.

I think they were reacting to the wording of the blog post, which made it seem that this was a new idea.

But when you read the instructable, its clear that mikeasaurus knew he could buy this. He just had a new pair of gloves and didn't want to buy another pair.

I would have preferred that Make had worded the post differently. The fun thing about projects in Make are:
1. Making something useful that no one has made before
2. Making something useful that already exists, but your way is easier/cheaper.

Make should play up these points in the posts.

Thanks the the suggestions, Scott, I'll keep them in mind. Because I don't snowboard or ride a motorcycle, I hadn't seen this idea before, so it was new to me.
