I know dude, typing that made me feel old.

My Grenade gloves and pants are still holding up quite well. I used them a couple of weeks ago when I went skiing on a glacier in south-east Germany.

I've got a funny story about my Grenade gloves for you. When Grenade first started out the military-themed riding gear was popular. At the time I knew nothing about any of the branches and still had never thought about joining. Last winter I had to supervise a project that our civilians were working on in the middle of the night, so I pulled the gloves out of riding bag and realized that my current rank (E-4) Senior Airman was stamped on the back side of the gloves. The best part about it is the gloves meet appearance regulations so I wear them quite often at work now. I have a bunch of people ask me where I had them "made" and I just tell them, "I know people that know people."
