Warm Winter Gloves?

You get mittens. I have a few pair of great ski gloves but keeping my fingers separated, at least for me, doesn't keep my hands warm for long.

I tried mittens a few years ago, they aren’t practical imo.

I bought two pair of these on Black Friday for $25 a piece. Price is highter now but they are warm and gore tex lined so they are waterproof. Just outside your price range, if you don’t mind going up a little.

Check all the colors in your size, price differs by both.

Yeah, Thinsulate is still a thing.

Mittens are more about reduced surface area exposed to the cold air that they are about shared heat. This reduced surface area (no cold air between the fangerz) is what helps keep 'em toasty. Less loss of heat.

One thing you can do to make finger gloves warmer is to get a few knitted elastic wrist bands (sweat bands at your local sporty-goods store) and wear them on your wrists. This works because the blood vessels that supply your hands are very close to the surface of the skin through the wrist...and cold wrists = cold fingers. The wrist bands keep the cold air off the wrists. Obviously another thing to do is buy gauntlet-style gloves with extended cuffs and--ideally--an elastic band and the end of the cuff to seal out cold air.


If you're going to be out in the cold for any extended length of time, pull the sleeves of your jacket over your gloves and tape them snugly to the gloves with duct tape. Same for the bottoms of your trousers over your boots. If you have gaiters, they are a huge help to keep your feets toasty.

Staying warm in winter clothes is really similar to insulating a house: slow down the air exchange from one side to the other and you've got it licked.


The Norwegians have an ancient saying: "there's no bad weather--just bad clothing." Which is really weird because it sounds just like English.

I have a heated steering wheel and remote start 

I know--not what you are thinking about, but they are great. I have some UGG mittens/fingerless gloves that I bought for playing stringed instruments outdoors in really cold weather. Black knit with fleece lining. Magnets hold the mitt part back and out of the way. Performance tested by me in Philly. $24 at TJ Maxx, $40+ list

I have several pairs of leather gloves that have wool grove inserts. very warm. I also have some heavy duty work gloves from amazon.

I worked outdoors. Galeton RoughRiders worked for me.

These are $42 in a large. I may have to wait until I get my next social security check.
Thanks guys, I appreciate the suggestions.

How about Canada Goose? We’ve owned their coats and gloves/mittens for many years. I wore my mitts on an hour walk to Starbucks today at 30F and my hands were sweatin’.

Still haven't got this embedding thing down pat, lol

Ski gloves ... I use Swany, but most all have wrist protection, tensioners, etc. Not cheap, but effective ...

Thanks guys!

i ordered the black ones Mike. And Peegoo, also the bicycle gloves in black with thinsulate. I’ll try them out and either send one back or keep both.

JDC, I decided against the rechargeable gloves, but thanks.

Thank you all for the suggestions.

That is how I buy Mechanix Wear gloves: 12 pairs at a time. I go through them pretty quickly; I wear them for pretty much all manual labor tasks except perhaps soldering and picking me nose. These:

Don't buy the ones with the transformer-lookin' plastic pads sewn into the backs. Those are for mall ninjas, not people that actually get their hands dirty.

Mechanix gloves are great.
