Warmest, most durable winter firewood gloves I have found.

Five years on my first pair just got a second.
Kinko model 1958, haha I’m a 1958 model also.

You had the same pair for 5 years? Where did you buy them?

 

Local hardware store, True Value franchise.

I have to get me a pair

 

Do they still make them like they used to ?

 

5 years? Wow!

Do you use them for loading the stove only?

 

Wow, five years is great. I used to use the similar suede ones for work years back.

 

As a disclaimer I only wear them in cold weather. Still great wear though.

Friend of mine gifted me a pair of leather ones couple years ago with the open cuff and my only gripe was sawdust gets into the cuff and fleece. Are they used for cutting or just handling wood/splits etc?

 

Snow blowing, cutting, handling wood. Smacking my kids around etc.

I love Kinco gloves but I usually only get about a year out of them before they get holes in the fingers and palms.

 

Geez, if you got five years out of them those kids must be well behaved!

 

So “when the gloves come off “ they really get a whooping?

 

Wow, 5 years? I go through a ton of gloves a year,. Right now I have a pair deerhide gloves. Holding up good but they will need to be replaced before the end of winer.

 

Been using these for a couple years. Bought them in bulk. The coating wears too fast for my liking, but good grip and warm. Use them below 35*. Ill recoat the fingertips with a thermoplastic gel to extend life.
These were the deer hide leather ones i rarely use any more. Poor grip, hard to get on and off, and sawdust gets in the cuff too easily. Found them the other day and thought of this thread.

 

Do you ever find in the summer that the coating melds together if left stored that way? I have bought a couple pair similar to that and have to toss them every few months because they stick to other things. Its kinda weird.

 

How many cords of wood did those last?
I've found that judging firewood gloves by cords vs the amount of time is a better way to measure how long they last.

 

We get those style gloves issued to us at work. They cove in packages of 12 they are always stuck together. We get the rink ones in warm weather and the ticker knit like the ones buzzsaw has in the winter. For some reason I can’t figure out my hands seem to get colder faster with the thick knit ones. It’s very strange.

I really don’t care for wearing gloves unless it’s very cold or something I’m working with is sharp or hot. I recently found “snowblower gloves” they are thick rubber with a fake fur on the inside. They are awesome! FROGWEAR FLEXIBLE PVC, INSULATED - North American Safety

 

I’ve often wondered about PVC gloves. When it’s real cold I have a hard time keeping my hands warm.
Anybody try these when it’s really cold?

I've been wearing these as of late for firewood/ outdoor work. They seem to hold up very well. The rubber shows zero wear so far, and that's after moving/ making 3 cords of firewood so far with them.

I especially like that the rubber fingers and palms allow me to pick off burdock and the really small cluster sticker bush seeds off of my clothes and they can't stick to the rubber.
