Warmest, most durable winter firewood gloves I have found.

I love kingo’s. I when threw two pair a winter when I did underground utility work. Most definitely the warmest I’ve had either wet or dry.

I use the Kinco, goatskin unlined ones, Bomgaars had them on sale for around $7 a pair. I bought every pair they had in my size. The best part is the size I get I have to work to get my hands in the first time. Then they stretch out just a little bit and fit absolutely perfectly. Those gloves are extremely durable and have a great feel to them.

 

Great point!

 

I buy them in bulk and the coating is "stickier" than regular latex coated gloves. Yes they do get a little stickier but peel apart easily. The Summer weight ones from the same company as the orange ones pictured have a great grip but done wear well at all. The coating loosens up and get holes fast. I wont buy them anymore. Last batch of latex ones were $10 for 15 pair and they wear very well handling wood.
Having spent many years working on the roof ive found anything expensive doesnt last be it gloves, boots, pants etc. Plus im cheap!

 

Do you get much Oak? I've found that Oak just shreds gloves...

 

I have a pair of those also.
My problem is the XL isn't quite big enough. I have to be REAL careful when I take them off or I pull the fingers inside out.
.
That makes for quite an exercise in patience, a long round 3/8"ish stick and as few bad words as I can manage. To get the insulated liner back into each finger.
But, those gloves are nice and tough. If I could get a 2xl size I'm sure they would be warmer.

 

I tend to be pretty cheap too. It started out innocently enough, you know, lack of money to get what I wanted. But its turned into a way of life now.
I try to pay attention to what professionals use in different industries. At the fab plant that I work at you will see DeWalt and SnapOn tools, but you will not see Yeti coolers (no offense if you have a Yeti). I try my best to spend my money on where the value is. I bought several Kinco frostbreaker gloves because I liked the grip, but I got tired of them welding themselves together and went back to the Kinco cowhide lined gloves. Maybe its just the brand I get that does that. I might have to try a different brand. I do like the grip they provide.
The funny thing is, the frostbreakers had so much grip that my hands would slide inside the gloves if I lifted something really heavy.

 

My wife got me a 12 pack of the Atlas rubber coated gloves for Christmas, along with a ratio rite for mixing gas and oil. I should be set for a while

 

Wow, did you give that idea on a list? My wife would look at me sideways (you know, that look like you get when you try to talk to a German Shepard and they don't understand) if I asked for a Ratio Rite

 

Lol, yes I told her about the ratio rite when my local amsoil dealer didn't have the 8 ounce bottles of sabre oil I like, and I had to buy 6 oz bottles. Grr. That messed up my easy to measure for 1 Gallon gas mixes.

But I didn't give her a list, she just remembered. Gloves too

 

I've been using these Kinco lined gloves while processing firewood during the cold weather for years. For CSS, I would say I get about 8-10+ cords out of them before I start getting holes in some of the fingers.

 

Ok, yes, I am resurrecting another old thread, however I don't see a need to start a new thread for my question.

I was given a pair of these gloves by a friend who knows I cut a lot of firewood. I have seen the 'trigger finger' gloves before for shooting, but not marketed for winter chainsaw use. Has anyone ever used this style glove while running a saw during the winter? These would obviously not hold up to any kind of real workload, and I don't know if I'm sold on the mitten/glove combination.

 

Interesting. I'm not a mitten person anyways though. Maybe it's because it's impossible to flip the bird with mittens?

 

Same message, only four times better with a mitten!

 

You better thermo-plastic them-there toes , looks like the coating and / or nail polish wore off those puppies !

 

Except nobody but you sees the message. Making it pointless.

 

Can't pick a booger either.

 

Or your relatives.....but you can pick your friends!
