Can you guys help me out with cold weather gloves?

[BeerCan]

Not having lived in a "cold" state in 3 decades I am finding myself sorely lacking in warm clothing. Until recently I have worn shorts and a t shirt almost exclusively 24/7.

Now that I am seeing colder temps, and I am older I can tell hand warmth is going to be an issue.

I am looking for gloves that are warm but not bulky but are also tough enough to do outside work. It's been in the low 30's here in the mornings and my hands are feeling it. I don't think it gets much colder than the 20's here so I am not in the arctic conditions some of you are, but coming from Florida it feels like it to me.

Also a nice jacket, but I think I am going to get some kind of M-65 field jacket.

Hestra. Expensive. Worth it.

Yep
I have them and Alpaca glove liners.
Dakine is good too.
Not much warmer than that but your not getting into your pocket and getting your car keys and inserting them.
I think you need to narrow it down to your needs
Can you use mittens
How much mobility do you need in your fingers
I also have both of these plus the liners mentioned.
Alpaca may be the warmest wool.
Can be used alone or as liners

Without going to Everest equipment this may be the warmest Jacket you can get.
And you can get them cheap
LL Bean Baxter State Park Goose Down
(Make sure you buy the goose down and not the old plaid wool)

Here’s 1 rating chart on survival parka’s
I’ve read them all and it becomes a choice of bulk cost and what you need
The Baxter actually has better fill 650 Goose down than Canada Goose that uses 625 duck down

Go to a hardware store... not a clothing store... or one of those fleet/ farm stores. Try stuff on.

You should be able to get by with unlined leather gloves or something like Isotoners.

Go to the store and try them on

Costco usually sells gloves insulated with 3M Thinsulate. Usually in a pack of two sets. I’ve been buying them for years. They are warm.

Get them today if possible. Gloves have always sold out the first cold snap of the season at stores where I live. What little is left is unpopular sizes like S or the S/M.

If you look those go up to 300g but mobility goes down
I think I got frostbite way back
100g doesn’t do it for me at 35 degrees
My fingers throb

I like this type:

FIRM GRIP Large Winter Performance Grip Gloves with Insulated Shell 63382-36 - The Home Depot

FIRM GRIP Winter Performance Grip gloves feature a comfortable foam nitrile coating that provides excellent grip and protection against cold weather elements. Paired with an insulated shell, these comfortable

www.homedepot.com

We rarely get super cold weather, but it's often wet so the nitrile coating is a plus as it helps keep your hands dry.

For the ultimate in winter hand warmth, mittens not gloves.

 

[mattwithcats]

Go down to you local Army Surplus store.

Pick up a M65 Field jacket, make sure you go up a size, and get the long/tall or extra long/extra tall. Your rear will appreciate the extra length…

Also get a Field Jacket liner, and some glove liners..

The glove liners will usually be green or black, and made of wool.

Last a pair of gloves to go over the liners, and/or a pair of mittens.

Cut the tips off the glove liners, how much depends on what you do and comfort, then put a little Fabric Glue on the ends to keep the fingers from fraying. I also fold a quarter inch into the finger ends, and sew it down…

Now you can remove the glove/mitten, leave the liner on, and have the tips of your fingers bare…

I did basic/AIT training at Ft. Lost In The Woods (Ft. Leonard Wood, MO.) Oct.-March. I have never seen so much snow in my life! We were issued wool gloves with black leather gloves over them. They were very warm.

Dittos on the Thinsulate. Make sure it’s a decent pair. I have diabetic peripheral neuropathy and walk each morning. Now that the weather is getting colder these type of gloves really help keep my hands warm without a lot of bulk

The choice of glove will depend on what you are doing while wearing them.

And you can get them cheap
LL Bean Baxter State Park Goose Down
(Make sure you buy the goose down and not the old plaid wool)

Careful, the Baxter can be toooo much for many! Very warm jacket if you are remotely active in the cold. Great for static activity in very cold weather.

Considering OP's statement of 30's and some 20's as the coldest.....I suggest hitting a Tractor Supply store and checking their work clothing out. I'm taking the liberty we aren't talking fashionable cold-weather clothes. Worth a shot and quite a bit less expensive than many other places.

Age related
And money too
I moved from S Florida way up north into the 30s latitudes (Carolina’s)
When I was still working for Manheim Auctions, December Feb out on a huge big open windy lot at 5 am at 30 degrees the Baxter was perfect. Even at 40 it’s good in the wind
As it warmed during the day I switched
At 50-60 bucks on eBay it’s worth having even if I only wear if twice a year.
Same with 4 different pairs of gloves
At this point in my life I’d rather have overkill than not enough
