Winter gloves

[JHZR2]

I love the cold. I have really good ski gloves, but my go to are wool fingerless gloves.

With the recent cold spell, being outdoors a lot with the kids, I’d like something that keeps my fingertips warm. Obviously I could get (Actually I have) wool gloves with fingers in tact. But I was thinking something else.

Thin leather gloves with a wool liner come to mind. I don’t want anything that looks silly to wear in plain clothes, so no mechanics gloves or gloves that look like “technical wear” - I’d just wear my ski gloves then.

Recommendations??

Cheap glove liners under the fingerless.

Cheap glove liners under the fingerless.

I was gonna say the opposite, cheap leather gloves over the fingerless.

My favorite was the cheap $2 "leather" pair from the gas station.

I like the Head running gloves. Form fitting, warm, they just work well. Costco carries them.

Did you look at the D3A leather gloves with wool liner?

No, but that’s about exactly what I was looking for.

A pair for dress and maybe a cowhide or deerskin pair for shoveling and other work.

Getting to mid 40s has made me rethink shorts and bare skin in the 0-15F range

I find 20 F is the temp I break out the ski gloves. Otherwise tanned leather gloves. Sort of cowboy looking.

Funnily enough, the gas-station-gloves and that wool liner was my go-to whenever we had to be in the field. I find that the military leather ones retained mud on the surface much more than the gas station one - although the military outer shell was pretty thick and the fingers sized for little sausages (and even I got small hands.)

Just checked Costco online sold out I was definitely interested

I drove home at 3am a couple days in 7°F and while the cabin and seat heaters warmed up nicely within 10 minutes, the steering wheel remained cold the whole way home and I could have used some driving gloves.

You can find them on Amazon, and numerous knockoffs. But the Head brand is the GOAT glove imo.

I generally go with lined leather gloves from Home Depot or Tractor Supply.

I really like the Rough rider leather gloves. They make thin ones and thicker insulated.

I have Reynaud's which causes my fingers to get really cold. I bought a pair of electric gloves at Costco a few years ago. In single digit temps for 45 minutes they prevent me from getting numb fingers.

Cold steering wheel has never bothered me. Only wind chill that takes my fingertips to think it’s well into the negative.

I run seat heater to avoid running the heat at all sometimes. Helps the engine to heat up.

Japanese taxi drivers' driving gloves.

In the US, the best bet to find them are Daiso stores.
Daiso stores are not always easy to find, they don't ship online, but there are more of them than one could expect. And visiting them is an adventure in itself.

Everything is in Japanese, items' pricing is direct from Japan with the price printed on the package, pricing is by brackets (ex: Everything from 100 yen to 200 yen is $1, everything from 200 yen to 300 yen is $2, etc).

Most items are deliciously Japanese (kitchen stuff that you never knew you needed but that you can't live without, little strainers, little hooks, hanging clothdryers for small areas - you name it).

Most cosmetics tools are made in Japan (scissors, nailclippers), small home precision tool sets that might be Made in China but actually work, etc, etc. The quality is way above average, and the prices are close to what you'd see in a 99 cents store that no longer has anything at 99 cents.

The gloves in question are like $2.50 a set, look like knit garden gloves, but a finer mesh. They are breathable, enough to stop the cold or heat of a car let freezing or under the scorching sun, and they have little rubber nibs for traction. It's the white gloves you see Japanes cabbies drive with in the movies. They provide an excellent feel, excellent traction, the steering wheel never slips with these, and they don't transfer anything to the wheel's leather.

They are available in white and black, usually.

I’ll have to check these stores out, thanks!

Note that those are for driving, to be kept in the car. Will be of little help outside in the snow.

I just have a few pairs of these kicking around, a set in each car, and some for actual work around the place. And I don't mind wearing them out doing firewood. I use my ski gloves or mitts if its more serious cold weather.

Last Saturday night I drove home from my lady friends pad. It was 8° and the truck hadn't been run for at least 5 hours. The first few miles was the seat heaters and heated steering wheel. HVAC was turned off until the coolant was warm enough to not use the resistive heat of the main HVAC. Really drinks gas until the coolant warms. It was chilly and the heated wheel was a godsend. The Mavericks seats and wheel warm up in less than 2 minutes. Two real nice features on my $27K truck.

In my truck there was a pair of heated gloves that I received as a Christmas gift. Duh!

Out of sight, Out of mind
