Certified glove maniac here. No really, probably 8-12 different pairs in my truck right this moment...and more at home. Had a 2 year bout with some very aggressive dermatitis and learned to do almost everything wearing gloves. I typically don't wear insulated gloves unless it gets bitter cold. My hands usually stay warm as long as I stay busy. I'm a fan of the "fitted" style gloves nowdays and my favorite brand is Ironclad. They don't hold up well to splitting...nothing I've found does so for that duty I use the cheapest nitrile dipped (atlas) gloves I can find and throw them out when the get worn. Ironclad makes a model called Tundra. These are quite awesome. Insulated & waterproof, but allow a good bit of dexterity. I have literally bucket washed a car outside with the soap freezing to the body panels in these and could barely feel the cold through the gloves. Also cleaned a friends water trough of ice in them no problem. They are pricey though at around $50/pr. The warmest, cheapest gloves I ever bought were at Kohls of all places. In the spring, they clear out all their winter gloves and I picked up a $45 pair of columbia ski gloves for $5. Warm, dry, and can still manage most delicate tasks. I don't think they would handle sawing or splitting very well, but are great for the tractor or a snowball fight! Protect your hands! Can't do much without them. After having a couple years (year round) where water felt like fire to my cracked open & busted fingers & palms I have learned to protect my paws.
Ninja ice gloves. They work really well in the cold and they do not get wet from the snow. Check them out.
I already googled lol, WWW always needs new coldweather gloves. Amazon had a couple pairs of them for an extremely reasonable price and free shipping. thanks slacker_4 , your very first post here is already bookmarked
They hold up really well. I only use one pair and they last me all winter long. Actually I am still using the pair I bought last year.
That is the true reasoning behind these forums. For us all to help each other out. I am new to this forum but have been on AS for a while. Been cutting wood my whole life.
I use Kinco gloves, issued every year by work. And on cold days I throw a pair of brown jersey chore gloves on inside them.
i do most of my splitting and stacking when is warm enough to use a lighter glove than these super gloves. i really don't like to be cold and this is the best plan i have come up with. i use leather mechanic gloves mostly because i already have them handy. when i was younger, i refused to even wear gloves, i guess cold just got colder huh?
