    I find that the Atlas gloves last as well or better than any other type of glove

    I have to have a couple cords in mine, and there still going strong. I really like the extra grip later in the day when hands are getting tired. Thanks for suggesting Atlas gloves FHC members!

    They are not real warm but when my finger get cold , time for a break.
    When I was out in the wood cutting, I held my fingers in the saw exhaust to warm them up

    The polar penguins gloves have a little more insulation , may try a pair of them to see if they hold up as well as the atlas

    Polar Penguins. Great gloves, you won't regret picking up a pair.

    May have to try a pair of these some time, I usually get 3 or 4 pairs of the goat skin gloves from Harbor Freight.

    Just watch for chips and splinters getting into the cuffs, that's my only gripe with the penguins.

    Thanks
    :yes:

    + The rubber coating seems to be a little slipperier , compared to Atlas. ??
    For $3, worth a try.

    I've used a pair of stretch gloves (the little cloth gloves usually next to the register in winter at Wal-Mart etc) under the work gloves for extra insulation to good effect. Also been known to wear latex or nitrile gloves under work gloves when it's wet. Feels weird, but does the trick.

    I ordered a pair of the Polar penquin's and I have to say I do like them. It was cold and windy today and my hands stayed pretty warm. I will see how they do when it is really cold out.
    I like the rubber part of the glove and how it is designed. Has a really good grip. They are also very reasonable on the price.
