Cold Weather Gloves

[Jared Koopman]

Hey all...

Looking for good gloves for cold weather that still retain dexterity but keep me warm.

What do you suggest?

Thanks!

Gloves are a compromise between warmth and dexterity, simply because insulation requires thickness. So if you're working outdoors in the cold, you inevitably end up with multiple sets of gloves with varying levels of warmth and dexterity.

That said, I've also found that keeping your arms warm (especially down to your wrists) helps keep your fingers warm even with less insulation in the gloves.

My preference goes back to my army days, that I have adapted for cold water fishing as well.

Waterproof liner next to the skin, something like fingerless wool for close work, with easily removable mittens for warmth over the top.

I lose too many pairs to invest in something too expensive. I have been getting various models of kinco work gloves. You can find pairs online for in the neighborhood of 20$. I find they have a acceptable lifespan and its nice to have multiple pairs.
Something like this

Fingerless gloves with a mitten section that flips on & off.

+1 to the mitten gloves. I've been trying to find one that doesn't have a mitten that gets caught on things or is less bulky, but besides that, no serious complaints.

I don't know if the Thermo model is shipping yet, but the original yellow glove has gotten good reviews.
