They're not quite warm enough when it's really cold out. I don't use them when plowing and your hands aren't moving much. I will admit I retail these, and sell hundreds of pairs a season. Tough to keep them in stock during winter. They work well, within reason.
You could be correct, I don't know about the Atlas gloves. I could suggest the "slipperiness" might add to the longevity, less grabby. I have a pair of the lined gloves that have gone 3 yrs., but I don't beat them up. Wood stuffs are fine, but not concrete or rocks and such.
I have some of the Atlas gloves and I like the Polar penquin gloves better. It is just a matter of personal preference.
Bogey Dave, I use those same gloves when temps dip a little, I love them. Kinco make a glove called Frost breaker, it seems similar to the Polar penquin. I use them a lot when temps drop below 40, they have a bit more insulation than the grey Atlas ones
These seem to really hold up well. Ansell from Menards. I've got at least 5 cords, if not a lot more on them. No really visible wear. They work great for running the saw as well.
Well that's definitely not as good as the Atlas Gloves I'm still going to buy some, I need fairly warm gloves for going out to bring wood up to and in the house all winter
That and you can keep from sweating as long as you dress properly and keep a proper pace. That "pace" also keeps you from over doing it as well.
I still like a pile lined glove and leather too for cold weather. I still have several pair from Galeton but think they've discontinued them now. But, I found a new source for pile lined gloves right in our town. Sad that we can no longer find the good ones we used to buy. Right now I can't remember the name but think they were Wells Lamont. I do remember their theme "Stubborn as a mule." We used to get them at Ace Hardware and one other one but now they only want to handle their brand names and they are junk.
Yep, that was Wells Lamont's slogan. I always liked their gloves. Now these ansell gloves I have do show a tiny amount of wear, but so minimal it's funny. I do like a thin glove unless it's really cold out. I tend to have warm hands, so the lack of bulk is welcomed.
