2008-2009 POW Mustacheo glove


smallmustA nice stash comes in handy when tracking cougars, posing for photos and of course buying beer when you forgot your ID. Choose the best one for the job at hand.

Intended Purpose: This is a spring weather glove. It is meant for temperates from 25 degrees Fahrenheit to 100 Degrees Fahrenheit.

Sizing: I have typical women's hands. I'm currently sporting the men's medium in the Mustacheo's which fit, but are a little loose in spots. The Mustacheo fit lets it expand to hands, but does not have a way to tighten it like velcro...so getting a close size is necessary.....

When I got the phone call from Kaiser that I should stop by Pow while in Seattle, I was excited to check it out.  I’ve rocked the shockers since they came out and really like the humor and style behind Pows gloves. With the upcoming 08-09 models coming out in stores, I hope people will love them as much as I do. We need more mustachios, high 5’s and shockers in the world.
When I arrived, I met with Dustin who is the founder/CEO of Pow Gloves and Henry the multi-tasking intern. Kaiser who is the marketing man was picking up food with some athlete prospects. Across the street from Pow happens to be a very good place to get a sandwich and I got lucky to be able to taste some that Kaiser brought back.....

Now that it's officially fall, it's exciting to see the snow in the alpine... teasing us about another epic winter soon to come.
