My preferred winter sampling gloves are Glacier Gloves. Waterproof neoprene insulated gloves. They hold up very well. I used to get 1.5-2 yrs/pair of gloves. That's working several sites with anywhere from 10 to 40 MWs. I wore them most of the day, only removing them to to swap on thin gloves with nitriles over them to collect my samples.

I bought mine from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Glacier-Glove-016BK-Waterproof/dp/B002T1G7MS

Buy a pair of neoprene gloves for kayaking (thicker is warmer) and then put a skiing shell over top to break the wind. Works down to -15 celsius for me in Canada. Fingies and toesies get the coldzies. neopreme like this

> Convertible mittens

Those are not warm. I find convertible mitten to be the worst of both worlds - the warmth of a glove, the dexterity of a mitten. If I'm not doing any rope work, I find that I can do most things in a mitten without removing it.

If you have the money, go with the the OR Alti Mitt. When it's super cold, it's what I wear. I can remove skins without taking them off, too. Alternatively, a shell like this or even this, with these as liners is as warm, but more durable, but bulkier, and heavier.

I have an 15 year old pair of OR mitten shells with a $20 pair of ragwool mittens as liners that I use and abuse all winter long. (I save the fancy, down-lined Alti mitt for the worst fo the worst, - Denali, Alaska Range in March, etc.)

Wither either approach, make sure you have them sufficiently large. Your hands will stay warmer with more airspace to circulate, particularly if also using a chemical hand heater. Which is also more convenient in a larger mitt because you can move them around.

Do not try wear a glove liner as the primary source of insulation. If you find that you occasionally need to remove a mitt and need something on your hand, wear a very light liner glove such as these under the mitt. I've even experimented with wearing a latex or nitrile glove. It doesn't insulate and feels a bit weird, but if the concern is wind when you have your mitts off, they work well.

Finally, look at your poles. Are they conducting heat away? I've never bothered with poles, but I've wrapped areas of my mountaineering axes with insulating tape to reduce conductive heat loss. Also, use good wrist straps will touring. If you're gripping onto the poles, you reduce blood flow. If you can have a nice, light grip assisted by wrist straps (I prefer the rubber ones to nylon), your hands will remain noticeably warmer.

This is preference thing. I have very thin gloves and pull my jacket/shirt over my hands. My SO needs a fleece mittens

Possibly repeating some advice since I'm late to this party, but..Shoes: Also a lady and I stumbled upon the Keds Scout line last year and they have turned out to be great winter biking shoes. They are water resistant, don't let wind through, but are slim enough that they still fit in my pedal cages and aren't so clumsy that they make me feel like I'm pedaling my bike with inch thick stumps like snow boots do. I'm on my second pair of the Scout Chukka Splash which is mostly unlined but I think they offer other versions that are geared to be more winter-y and have thicker lining. I have worn them with thick socks over the last two weeks when temps have gotten pretty low and been fine. The only day I had cold toes was Wednesday when the "feels like" was in the negatives in the morning, but it wasn't terrible. They're not full plastic waterproof to where you could stand submerged puddle for 10 minutes without worry, but the water resistance is good enough for normal snowy conditions. Bonus: depending on your work environment and personal style choices, you can possibly wear them to work and not have to carry extra shoes.

Gloves: I listened to the crowd and shelled out for Pearl Izumi lobster gloves.. they're great for middle temps down to like 20ish and keeping dry but fail once it really gets cold. The sizing is men's so even the XS is big on me which is irritating for the cost. If you have ski mittens already, use those. If you have no good gloves and plan to spend money, I'd recommend ski mittens over the lobster gloves - I have these Dakine mittens in size small and they are fantastic for very cold days, plus I really love the liner gloves they come with for fall riding when it starts to get cold.

I have no special bike outfitting for winter other than fenders. My slick road tires have kept me upright this week despite the ice and such but I've definitely had some dicey moments. If in doubt, take the lane - don't ride on the edge near the BL where cars are encouraged to pass you close because there's * almost * enough room and you risk being surprised by ice that sticks out of the bike lane or getting pushed over, ride roughly in the right car tire tracks.

Face: If you don't already wear glasses and don't want to wear goggles, buy some cheap "non-prescription" clear lens glasses on amazon. I replaced my silly scratched up shop glasses with non-prescription glasses this year and have been happy with them so far, especially on days like Monday when it's snowing tiny ice bullets and I otherwise was unable to keep my eyes open. Fogging is a problem though.

Neck: Fleece "buffs" or neck gaiters are a must. Keeps your sensitive neck parts warm even if your core warms up and you want to unzip your jacket, and breathing through something while covering your mouth and nose is very helpful for keeping your lungs working in the cold dry winter.

Edit: If you have long hair and it is snowing, tuck it in to your jacket. Dealing with a matted, wet, frozen ponytail end at work is annoying.

Hey one of the bama boyz, I'm from bham! I honestly just didnt wear anything on my hands most of the time but when I needed something and I couldn't afford poagies I got a pair of these which fall apart after a winter but are pretty affordable and warm https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0029YI6QU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_YWmWDb9XVQ724

Sorry this took so long, but here you goz I added hats, gloves, and scarves as a sort of apology for being so late:

Good outer coats: https://www.amazon.com/ELORA-Womens-Winter-Jacket-Fleece-Trim/dp/B07BS4GTJC/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1540096730&sr=8-2-spons&keywords=winter+coat+for+women&psc=1

Find something long and thick with a cozy hood. Make sure it is water resistent as well.

Good undercoats:

https://www.amazon.com/CAMEL-CROWN-Waterproof-Windbreaker-Outdoor/dp/B07FTB6Z34/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&qid=1540096730&sr=8-17&keywords=winter+coat+for+women

Find something warm but light and with or without a hood- it doesn't matter too much unless you plan on using it in spring, in which case get one with a hood or a removable hood.

Good hats:

https://www.amazon.com/Yesurprise-Trapper-Russian-Trooper-Windproof/dp/B075L5G81C/ref=sr_1_9?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1540097173&sr=1-9&nodeID=7141123011&psd=1&keywords=warm+winter+hat+with+earflap

Get something with clippable ear flaps. Trust me, they'll be lifesavers. Water resistance is important as well.

Good gloves:

https://www.amazon.com/OZERO-Deerskin-Leather-Motorcycle-Cycling/dp/B07DZYG7CB/ref=sr_1_11?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1540097380&sr=1-11&nodeID=7147440011&psd=1&keywords=warm+waterproof+winter+gloves

Get something water proof and with fingers. Mittens are the worst when you have to do something outside. Wrist straps are great for keeping the snow out.

Face coverings:

Make sure it covers your face, nose, cheeks, and neck (front and back). If it goes over your entire head like a hat that's even better, it's perfect for wearing under a hat. You'll want it to be waterproof. I find face coverings work better than scarves.

u/LarsAlereon · 1 pointr/NoStupidQuestions

I think your best option will be gloves like these that come with pockets for battery hand warmers.

u/redneckjep · 1 pointr/wyoming

Awesome to get so many responses! Seems like everyone has their own style of layering. I have a decent amount of hoodies, puffy jackets, a couple fleece, and one soft shell jacket, so I have plenty of mid layers, I guess I just need a jacket for blocking wind. For my head and face I was thinking the bad days I would wear this balaclava and a hood, while the milder days would be a scarf or neck gaiter with a beanie. Luckily I have a decent pair of boots that are waterproof, while are made of leather =/ (found out they shrink in the cold), I think they should do the trick. As far as gloves go, I still dont have that figured out. Should I get thick ski gloves possible with a liner? I dont like how bulky they are but thinner gloves or even fingerless mitts seem to lack wind protection. As for snow pants, I have eyed these a bit, but I think I can get something that works just as well for cheaper. Fortunately for me, I have an above average body temp when exerting, which unfortunately causes me to sweat like a whore on Sunday morning. Initially I will be using some old (polyester) L/S running shirts as a base layer. Hopefully this will wick the sweat enough. I believe that has all clothing needs covered, and now need to look into emergency car supplies.

u/2_4_16_256 · 1 pointr/Kayaking

These gloves are waterproof and even if your hands do get wet they will keep them mostly warm.

I've used them this past winter for whitewater kayaking and they worked and didn't suck taking off. Drying them was a bit of a pain since you really need to turn them inside out to do.

u/mnm06c · 1 pointr/running

I got these intending to wear them over a thinner glove, but they've been fine on their own so far (there's a men's version as well):

u/WhoThrewPoo · 1 pointr/running

I use and older model of these for brisk but not winter weather. They were actually recommended to me as light-chill cycling gloves, but work great for running too. They let me use my touch screen on my phone, which is nice.

For more winter weather, I use [these] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014X9G5MU?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage) Isotoner gloves. They aren't bulky, which means I can adjust hats/clothing/etc without taking them off. They also are warm enough without making my hands too sweaty, so I don't have to leave them out to dry usually.

Apparently silk liners work even better though
