Winter gloves

[phil21502]

Any1 have some warm yet un bulky gloves they can recommend?

 

[MeanMark87]

The ones I have always used are these:

I usually get them at Cabela's. They're warm, they've got elastic cuffs that keep woodchips out, and they're very tough.

Atlas thermal gloves plent warm and are not bulky at all.

If it's above 0 (and it usually is), I use those knit things with the grippy bumps, and a set of wool glove liners inside. I can wear out a pair of leather gloves in 1 day. The knit ones usually last at least a month.

I'll recommend the Duluth cold weather work gloves.They've got good insulation,they're waterproof and the palms are re-inforced with some kind of material that outlasts 4-5 pair of leather gloves.Price is a bargain at around $20.

I second the atlas thermal gloves, about $6 a pair

Atlas thermal great gloves.

I guess I quadruple or quintuple the Atlas Thermal recommendation. I've only started using Atlas gloves since a similar thread earlier this year, and I am sold. Ace Hardware around here have a whole rack of different Atlas gloves, light weight, Nitrile, and the Thermal. I've used them sawing, bucking, splitting, stacking, hauling, hunting, and general outdoor choring. They wear better than leather, stay warmer than lined camo gloves with trigger and palm pads, and are the least expensive of any options.

Only question, anyone know of a worthy donation box for a bag of my previous glove picks?

I am partial to Kinco's and Carhartt winter gloves.

My advice: if you use these for loading the stove, get ones that will not upset you when they catch on fire or get chucked in the stove along with a log.

First flame up this year actually came the other night. Was in the stove "re-arranging" when I noticed my hand getting a little hot.

Neighbor was watching out the window by chance and saw a fireball come flying out of stove house following by me chasing it and stomping on it.

He said that he chuckled and that I was lucky it wasn't my arm....again......due to no snow pile to jam it into.:hmm3grin2orange: I nodded in agreement.

This was from a year before.

So that's my advice. Good luck. :msp_thumbup:

Yep atlas fit, then atlas flex-therm, then kinco insulated. I haven't touched any thing else in over ten years.

Iron clad brand makes a glove they call their "cold condition" glove, durable and warm, not bulky at all.

The gloves I like the best are the ones my wife wears. This way she can get more wood, and I can stay inside & warm.....where the beer is, of course! :msp_w00t:

+1 for the kinco pig skins

 

[JohnW]

Yes, I also like Kinco pigskin gloves. My chainsaw dealer used to have, before he retired, gloves that I liked even better. They didn't have a brand name on them except Thinsulate. They were just like Kinco, but thinner, and they had a double cuff, the large open cuff, and a snug fitting knit cuff inside. The knit cuff is great for keeping saw dust out of your glove. I think I finally figured out what they are -- Forester Pigskin.

As for pigskins I use these in the wet winter months they are Wells Lamont

I really like these. They look like those Atlas gloves others posted.

 

[woodguy105]

Definitely the atlas type (rubber/sticky palm) gloves. What I like is you can get them insulated or not but more important is the grip you get on rounds and splits. I can't stand using gloves that dont fit like....well, a glove or a second skin. Too much slipping and movement inside some of those leather gloves for me.

At roughly 3 bucks a shot I'll go through 3 or so pair a year. Depending on what I'm doing, I'll cut off the (already torn) finger tips and use the gloves when I'm sawing or doing light work.

I'm taking a close look at these gloves for winter work. Will probably order some today.

Google ''North Sea NS330''

 

[El Quachito]

For the California climate I like the $1.75 Wells-Lamont white knit gloves. I can do a lot of work in them before they wear out. Other fabric gloves or cheap leather that I have tried can be toasted in a day.

-A recent pair stretched way out for some reason, and my current pair seems to have extra elastic. Some quality control issues in China I suppose.

FYI, I was torching a burnpile one day and a cinder melted a hole in these things, so proceed with caution around fire or it will probably melt on you.
