gloves while running a chainsaw in the winter

[stihl for life]

Hey guys I'm wonder what kinda of gloves do you guys wear in the winter while using your chainsaw . what keeps your hands warm but still feel comfy running a saw o and I forgot how long do they last before they get a hole in them. That's what i hate the most holes in my gloves .

Either cotton rigging gloves or fallers gloves for the harsh winters we get here on the central Cali coast. A couple of years ago it got down to the fifties! It was too cold to wear Crocs, had to switch to Uggs.

Wells Lamont grips deerskin lined 100 gram gloves for me. Warm enough for working in cold weather down to zero f at least , pretty durable, but not too warm. The lining will wear through inside before the leather gets a hole or a seam splits. I buy a new pair every year, and the most beat up ones from 2-3 years back get used for work like running saws or working outside.

http://www.kinco.com/product/1938kwp/ These are pretty much all my employees and I have been wearing for years when it's fairly cold (20F and below)... http://www.kinco.com/product/1787/ These when it's between 32F and 20F.... Most of us don't wear gloves when it's warmer than 32F unless it's raining.

I wear Kinco gloves too. Wifey got me a pair a few years ago for Christmas. Best gloves I've ever owned. I get a little over one winter out of them. The only place to find them around here is Walmart.

I even wear them on my sleds

Good quality leather work gloves, same I used on the farm. Cotton get wet and cold, poly too, but poly last way better than cotton.

TSC had some leather Husqvarmint gloves on sale a while back that were good too.

Remember, if you are cold, you are not working hard enough. A T-shirt should be fine at 20 oF.

P.S. run some 10W in the oiler until the saw heats up.

Duluth Trading winter/thermal work gloves. They're warm to -5, or so & not too bulky.

This is the type I use. Last winter at -30 C and I was just fine with them.

Gloves are for pussies...

Heated handles are better

I wear the thermal lined Atlas rubber gloves for winter. I have a couple pair and keep them on the heater in the truck so i always have warm dry ones to put on.

Usually atlas therma fit. Great for cutting. I use them at work too but changing drill steels when drilling and the nitro glycerin from the powder eats holes in them pretty fast so I usually go threw 10-12 pair a winter

Yeah i suppose that'll work in your backyard and then when you get cold mommy will have the hot coca ready.

My hands never got cold in these: http://www.kinco.com/product/1787/

I only wore those while running a saw though really, they won't stand up to handling the wood while splitting it, good thing they're cheap! I might wear them this year more while splitting after losing a finger last year, we'll see I guess.

how long have you been a logger? seems you must be pretty new to be asking this now i wear gloves year round regardless of temperature and don't wear bigger gloves in the winter but it don't get real cold around here . i'd rather have my hands sweat all day then pick'n splinters and taping up wounds at the end of the day.

Stihl mittens with trigger finger and cutproofing on the left side work for me.

They are the best glove for doing work in the winter. Excellent balance between warmth and dexterity. I tried the chilly grips from costco, but they're not as good as the Atlas.
