Best gloves & mittens for men according to redditors

These will do https://www.amazon.com/OZERO-Winter-Gloves-Coldproof-Glove/dp/B073191H74/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1543244385&sr=8-4&keywords=winter+gloves

it's actually a real thing though; they have a trigger finger because most soldiers need to pull the trigger while in war (except my teammate building the walls on stage 4 while we're defending stage 1 of course)

G.I. LEATHER TRIGGER FINGER MITTENS

Because when you are wearing these its hard to manipulate small levels

You'll want a piss bottle so you can piss in your sleeping bag at night- like collapsible water bottle with a wide mouth. And get the wide mouth one. It's easy to underestimate your girth in a store.

Never wear base layers for movement (humping, not shitting). You want to be chilly when you step off. It's easier to ditch the jacket while moving than your thermal underwear.

Put all your clothes in the bottom of your sleeping bag at night. It will help dry them out and will fill up any empty space that you would have to waste energy heating up.

Always wear gloves when handling white gas. It can be well below water's freezing temp and still liquid. If you pour it on your hand while filling fuel cans you'll get instant frostbite. I wear regular carhartt work gloves for most everyday tasks and only wear big insulated gloves when the weather is really nuking.

Also, look up pressure breathing. It will really help you out at altitude.

Wool is good for Autumn, down-filled puffers are good for winter. I would reconsider your budget and maybe go for a fall ensemble first and save for a winter outfit. I think both of your coat choices are good, by the way, just not both for winter :)

Some things to consider:

• Getting a good pair of rain boots will not only help on rainy days, but you can also buy liners (like these) for wintertime. Rubber rain boots will hold up better than most other winter boots, especially when you start to get the slush and wet snow.
  
  
• As /u/peanutbutter_banana mentioned, the wind is killer here; invest in good, thick winter accessories. You'll need scarves, hats/earmuffs (this style wraps around the back of your head, which allows you to still wear a hat comfortably), and waterproof gloves. If you have a smartphone, get tech-friendly gloves so you can use the screen without having to freeze your fingers off.
  
  
• Socks: get some good quality wool socks. Wool will help wick moisture away and insulates better than cotton (this is actually an all-weather tip - thick wool for winter, thin for warmer weather)

Someone posted about surplus military trigger mitts a while back and I got a pair. They’re amazing and stupid cheap. Buy some.


US Military G.I. Leather Trigger Finger Cold Weather Mittens Size Medium https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002B93CVW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_O6i4DbDMJFT3Y

For the first month , I was very jealous of anyone who had gore-tex overmitts. I just had fleece mittens and my hands were numb and hurting every time it rained, which was most of the time. I'd recommend fleece gloves or mittens and a pair of gore-tex overmitts until it warms up a bit in April. That was the one piece of equipment I really wish I had. Something as simple and light as these or these might help.

I'm half convinced even if we agreed to do just the wheel I'd come to find a leather chair strapped to my dash.

These are the ones.

Have these. No complaints.

If you're not trying to go out for hours on end, i reccomend just layering up. You dont exactly need to have wool cloths, but as /u/HyperGeometer says, cotton has some big issues in winter weather. Wool also has a benefit of whicking moisture away from your body.

For your hands i suggest getting a pair of mittens. I have a pair of surplus military trigger finger mittens which use a wool inner liner, and a nylon/leather outer liner which is wind/water resistant. The wool keeps your hands from getting sweaty while wearing them, and with them being mittens your fingers share heat.

I tried way too many gloves throughout my life, and these boiled wool mitts have been the only pair that actually keep my hands warm.

These were posted here a few months ago and I've been thinking about ordering some.

Maybe some sort of muff with a plastic window to see your mobile phone screen?

This is all I can find online: http://www.amazon.com/Hot-Shot-Mens-Textpac-Hand/dp/B00W9ODCVY , but if you're crafty you could probably make one, or something similar.

I'm not sure how convenient a muff would be though.

Cotton!

these are cool!

I want some panda headphones because I have the old apple ones and they hurt my ears. The panda headphones are more than 10 so I would love a $10 giftcard so I can cut the cost down by more than 75%!! (I did the math :P the gift card is located in my only wishlist named Wendy :)

You're referring to these, I guess? Never heard of them before. Reviews are pretty solid

cotton archival gloves!
http://www.amazon.com/Archival-Methods-White-Cotton-Gloves/dp/B0036WBWP6

Once they get dirty you should throw them out and start with a clean white pair. Not horribly expensive but will really make a difference in the life of your book.

You should also look at getting an archival book cover something like this: http://www.shopbrodart.com/supplies/archival-products/book-and-pamphlet/Archivalbook-boxes-and-ties/_/Exact-Fit-Rare-Book-Boxes/ will also extend the life of the book by protecting it from light, humidiy changes etc

You don't need a whole bunch of cycle-specific clothing. IMO the number one key piece of kit is a windbreaker of some sort. You could pick one up from walmart but for around the same price Wiggle has a cycling windbreaker. Longer sleeves, pit vents, long tail, high collar: all things I wish my current windproof jacket had.

budget mittens. I've seen the set for ~$10 shipped. Wool mitten'ish things for the cold day with a windproof shell for the really cold and windy ones. Layers are good!

Costco has wool-blend thermal bases for pretty cheap. I picked up some cheap ski goggles there last year: pretty handy for keeping the eyeballs pain free.

These seem to be the updated version of the ones I have

When I inevitably lose my gloves, I'll probably buy these same ones again.

In a bugout bag I would have heavy duty for an urban environment where you might have to deal with moving a lot of metal or glass. Otherwise I would just carry a good work gloves that has plenty of flex, leather reinforced palm, and you can wear all the time.

For a prepper they should have some heavy duty gloves. They are cheap and easy to stock. Sealed they should be good for many years (though I have not researched how long they would actually last).

This is the best advice. I have carried between 4 and up to 6 different pairs of gloves or mittens. Poly-pro liners/contact gloves, nylon ski gloves, leather work gloves, trigger finger mittens, arctic mittens. Different gloves for different tasks.

Probably the best all around extreme cold weather glove I've used are these Trigger finger mittens

Ugly as hell, and not waterproof, but they have my stamp of approval.
You make a fist inside the mitten unless you need your fingers.
Pair those with flight or contact gloves, and waterproof ski gloves and you are set for almost anything.

I bought these for the absolutely brutal days in her MN. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0036ZTDYA/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_TgIZDbDE5B63Q

look on amazon. got my mom a pair of leather gloves with cashmere lining. Already have a different pair of leather gloves but will probably get the male counterpart when i need them.

http://www.amazon.com/Touchscreen-texting-cashmere-Standard-Cashmere/dp/B00WB3DJWU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1452705535&sr=8-1&keywords=mens+leather+gloves+cashmere

Cheap cotton archival document handling gloves.

They are cheap enough to have, are machine washable (until they fall apart) and satisfy your neuroses. It's OK to be a bit neurotic of it's not standing in the way of your enjoyment of life, for example taking the joy out of your comic hobby.

Others may look at you as a bit unhinged, but with the gloves you're harming no one, so hopefully you can just shrug off the criticism.

Personally, what I do for this problem is use my lap a bit on my nice cushy chair for reading and vary my grip position a bit each page turn. I have similar gloves (from Uline) but they are for my other half who actually does book / document / photograph restoration with them. I do not use them for reading comic books, but they would be fine for that purpose if I had old or rare enough ones, I suppose.

They do make gloves that allow you to play PoGo while not unleashing your fingertip to frostbite

I just got these gloves. The touchscreen capability on them is pretty good and they're decently warm. not super cold weather gloves but good for about an hour outside without a heater. With a heater would be better.

I got these after someone recommended them: http://www.amazon.com/LEATHER-TRIGGER-FINGER-MITTENS-Medium/dp/B002B93CVW

They're probably not great if you actually want to shoot a gun with the trigger finger, but they're quite warm and easy to put on / take off.

With all fingers in the mitten part, I could ride for a few hours in 20F no problem. With a finger in the trigger finger, that probably jumps up to 25F -- wind can be a devil.

I've had these in brown for a year or so and I really like them.

Or get a muff with a window, something like this:

https://www.amazon.com/Hot-Shot-Mens-Textpac-Hand/dp/B00W9ODCVY

I made something along those lines myself, but need to improve it a little, it was just a tad to small to comfortably use a larger phone.

Here is teh ultimates solution I have found down to -10F:

M1964 military surplus overmitts and liners, snosealed

Nitrile gloves to prevent sweating into the wool

Just bought these:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CV9QD2D/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They're actually not bad at all for the price. Good quality but don't expect the best for $30.

I'm pretty sure those are driving gloves; they're definitely not meant to be used with motorcycles.

I have a pair I wear when no one's looking, and they are pretty good driving gloves, though.

With temps that low you probably want mittens.


These are probably the best value out there:

I researched gloves for awhile and found the Pratt and Hart traditional ($26.95) on Amazon. Work great.

Elma Luxury Men's Touchscreen/texting Winter Italian Nappa Leather Gloves

I actually already bought this, but most likely going to return it. Could anyone recommend me a glove that is around that price, or should I keep the thing?

I just bought these to replace some gloves I lost the other day:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N3GTTLY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

(try to ignore the cringeworthy model photos)

They seem like pretty decent quality so far. A little snug between my first two fingers, but going a size up would be to big for me I think (I bought "large" size).

Haven't worn them out yet, it's actually pretty warm in Chicago today. Hopefully they'll be somewhat warm, I mainly just wanted wind resistance for when I'm on my bike/Divvy. Not sure if I like how shiny they are, hopefully they will dull down with some wear.

Seems to have really good reviews on Amazon. I just got myself a pair with cashmere lining yesterday.

pack layers and you can shed as needed: heres my layout

Base Layer:

I try to avoid cotton stuff cause of chafing, highly recommend exofficio if thats an issue.

runner leggings/thermal leggings

long sleeve work out material shirt/ thermal shirt

smartwool socks! smartwool is the best. I use it for backpacking too.

Second Layer:

arctix snow bibs from amazon : 40 (You want snow pants/bibs. getting snow all down your pants/up your back is awful.)

A flannel or other heavy shirt type

Third:

I have wantando jacket (70 from amazon) reeeealy warm. Hardly have worn it out and its been like 10-15 on the mountain. Id imagine I could wear it down to zero.

A lighter waterproof jacket incase the heavy jacket is too much.

Gloves: Get some nice waterproof insulated gloves and glove liners.

If you got all of those youd be fine an any resort park

I ended up getting these waterproof rain mitten shells. It's hard to beat the price ($6).

I bought them to go over my other mittens, to block wind, rain, and snow. They have performed wonderfully so far--- I've been using them every day commuting to work and back for the last month.

The wind doesn't go through them at all, and they remain waterproof as far as I can tell. They've made my mitten combination much better.

For shoes, I don't really have a recommendation. I have shoe covers but I'm not happy with them.

Here's what works for me, may or may not be right for you.


I ride all-year in Virginia, so maybe not hugely different from you; have done anywhere between 50 and >200 miles in a week. I use the same nonspecific clothing on my bike as I do for hiking and other things. Dress in layers, have some good wind/water breaking shell, and keep your legs warm to keep your feet warm. I learned that the hard way - frozen toes due to not keeping the bloodlines to my tooties toasty.


My typical summer gear: wool or Smartwool undershorts, cheap gym shorts, T-shirt (maybe a wicking shirt if it's really hot), plain cotton socks, hiking sneakers. Comfy leather Brooks saddle. No padding necessary or wanted. 50-70 mile days certainly doable.


Fall: long-sleeve T-shirt and add a layer; some warmer hiking pants and a shell, sometimes with a light fleece top. Switch from cotton socks to Smartwool thicker hiking socks.


Winter: add a layer. Silk long underwear in particular is CRAZY WARM. Wore that winter hiking in Iceland, and I was stripping down and sweating when the rest of my group was complaining about being cold. Silk sock liners under the heavy Smartwool hiking socks. Got some military surplus shooting mittens : wool liners, leather outers with wrist covers, you can pull index finger in or out for warmth or controls. Those, and my helmet, are the only gear I've bought specific for cycling.



Example of military winter shooting mittens with liners:
https://www.amazon.com/Military-Leather-Trigger-Weather-Mittens/dp/B002B93CVW/ref=pd_cp_200_4/142-1573715-0470321?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B002B93CVW&pd_rd_r=04778f9f-22cd-49ef-bc93-f36bd44c5e5e&pd_rd_w=DDSUt&pd_rd_wg=8RkTG&pf_rd_p=ef4dc990-a9ca-4945-ae0b-f8d549198ed6&pf_rd_r=P0GGNYDCG6CR5B15BA0D&psc=1&refRID=P0GGNYDCG6CR5B15BA0D

I have:

• Brown Fratelli Orsini Rabbit Fur Leather gloves
  
  
• Black The North Face Apex Etip Gloves
  
  
• Some breathable, windproof polyester liner gloves.

Looking for black winter gloves to go with black topcoat. The weather where I live is mostly a 20F-40F in the winter; not super cold. Anyone have any experience with either of the following:

• Warmen Winter Nappa Leather Gloves
  
• Elma Nappa Leather Gloves

If your hands get really cold I would recommend either the dachstein extreme mittens, or something from Ojbro Vantafabrik

https://www.amazon.com/Dachstein-Woolwear-Extreme-Austrian-Mittens/dp/B0152EHMJ0

https://www.sweaterchalet.com/ojbro/

Also, chemical hand warmers last too long for most uses, unless you are going to be outside for hours they are a waste of money. But the reusable gel handwarmers last 20-30 minutes, which is just right for commuting or shoveling, and can be recharged in a pot of boiling water (or even in a microwave)

This kind you stick in the microwave to warm up
https://www.amazon.com/Snappy-Heat-Packs-Cloth-Backing/dp/B06XHN668Q/ref=sr_1_6_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1542393938&sr=8-6&keywords=gel%2Bhand%2Bwarmer&th=1

This kind you just "recharge" in the microwave, but you can activate them at any time
https://www.amazon.com/HotSnapZ-Warmers-Reusable-Round-Pocket/dp/B004CV2YXE/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1542393938&sr=8-15&keywords=gel+hand+warmer

Maybe it's dumb, but I use the winter clothing "Layers" approach.

I have a pair of light-weight, summer protective gloves. Then, when it gets cold, I have a pair of military surplus snowmobile mittens that I wear over the protective gloves.

So, do you not like those with partial fingers like these? https://www.simmsfishing.com/guide-windbloc-f-o-mitt-f18

https://www.amazon.com/Northstar-Waterproof-Thinsulate-Convertible-Gloves/dp/B0187Q9QIA

https://www.amazon.com/Carhartt-Mens-Flip-Black-Large/dp/B00AFVHA66/ref=sr_1_7

Under Armour running tights are nice for cold weather biking, and are often cheaper than cycling-specific tights. Or sweat pants?

Jacket weight depends on how warm you stay from exercise. The secret is in layering. You'll quickly find what works for you, as long as you have options available to try.

Having two lightweight and one mid-weight base layer tops plus a rain jacket, worn in any needed combination, will get you through most reasonable temperatures. A couple layers will block wind pretty effectively, but the rain jacket can block it the rest of the way (a hardshell over layers is like a medium weight winter coat). A plain sweatshirt/sweater or your fleece will also work as mid-weight layers.

Gloves: Plain cheap-o gloves for cool weather, probably a heavier pair once you get close to freezing temps. Instead of getting super heavy and expensive gloves for cold weather, a pair of wind-/water-resistant mitten shells adds a lot of warmth to any pair of gloves.

Good socks. Keep your feet warm (hard to do), or at least learn what "warm enough" means for you.

Under-helmet beanie.

Proper winter weather may take a little more (think ski goggles and a balaclava... covering all exposed skin). Generally, try to figure out what you can do without versus what makes it so uncomfortable as to be a disincentive.

TL;DR Under Armour (or similar) tights. For everything else, try various combinations of multiple light or medium weight layers until you find what works. It all depends on how easily you stay warm. Doesn't need to be fancy gear.

Just wanted to mention that I came to this posting after a complete fail in thinking that I had just bought some quality Helly Hansen Workwear gloves. The stitching on both gloves has started coming apart on the thumbs after a week of light usage. If you look at the reviews on the retailer site from whom I bought them, there are currently two reviews posted, and both claim the exact same failure that I experienced. Those reviews were not posted when I purchased, unfortunately. I'm now leaning towards Carhartt, possibly something like this, since the reviews look good.

I can't tell if these are any different from these. Both Nappa leather and 100% cashmere lining, same styling. Thoughts?

I like these. Anything labeled Carhartt is super manly though.

These gloves have good reviews on Amazon.com and have been recommended as decent for the money once or twice on this sub. Anyone have any experience with them?

Also, this is more of a "simple questions", but if I'm only going to have one pair of leather gloves--black or brown?

I think this winter you should test the stereo with the largest gloves you can find. I recommend these.
