Prep Genrl I need some good, warm chore gloves

[Marseydoats]

I need to be able to stay out for about 45 minutes early in the morning and my hands not be numb. The livestock gets ticked off if I feed half of them and come back in for 10 minutes because I can't feel my hands, and my knees can't take that many extra trips up the stairs.
For the past few years I have warn Jorestech with glove liners and that works unless it's single digits. They evidently re-sized their gloves though, I can no longer get them on with the glove liners. I have really large hands for a woman, I usually just buy men's gloves. What I have is an extra large, so no just going up a size.
Thinsulate gloves don't last me 2 weeks, they just come apart.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Do you have a Tractor Supply near you?

We bought some new leather work gloves at Costco about a month ago, but I can't find them online at Costco. These are amazing - the tag says Boss, and the front of the glove is embossed with 'Arctik Series' - they're tan leather, maybe doeskin, not sure, but they're tough. These are lined, feels almost fleece-like on the inside. Has a ribbed wrist to stop air infiltration. We'd never seen them before, but with hay, cattle, poultry, woods/pasture work, we can really nuke a pair of gloves.

I think it's these are what we bought (can't get the whole page to load, but the description is right) - https://bossgloves.com/product/145273

I don't recall how much they cost, we got them as a two pack at Costco. But after a while it almost becomes irrevelant, we have to have the gear to take care of the livestock and get work around the ranch done. I used to wear 2 or 3 thin, knit, cheap gloves underneath my regular leather work gloves, but that makes it hard to function. Won't need to do it with these!

Hope this helps, I totally understand what you're going through. I'm starting to get some arthritis now that I'm pushing 70, and cold, wet hands are not good for working outside.

These Kincos used to be my standard for chore gloves. They weren’t indestructible, but warm and flexible. I do more firewood than livestock now so switched over to all leather.

Thank you for posting this. I need some new gloves, too.

I have had really good luck with Wells Lamont lined leather gloves. The lining is a flannel fabric with some type of insulation. They last me thru the winter as long as the dogs don't get them .

My TS caters to city people who want to pretend they're farmers, and they have a very limited selection of any clothing. Mostly kids stuff.

I don't know what it is with Thinsulate, but it does not agree with my body chemistry. I would disintegrate those gloves in 2 weeks. They look really nice though.

Those, for some reason, come apart just like the Thinsulate brand.

I think I had some of those years and years ago, and then couldn't find them anymore. That looks like my best bet so far.
Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

what's your "glove liners"? - you ever try the Mechanix Base Layer gloves as a liner with your choice of leather work gloves? - Mechanix makes great work gloves - specialized for the job & purpose

I wear disposable medical gloves from Amazon and wear the stretchy gloves over those. My hands are warm and dry.

I have a pair of thin (ish) fleece gloves and I wear some Wells Lamont cowhide gloves on top of those. Works well for me.

 

[Marseydoats]

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I ordered some Kincos this morning and hopefully they will work out.

See if there is a industrial / construction / oil field clothing supplier in your area. There is one down here that even has custom made “zero hoods” sized to fit you. They will have fire retardant clothing, boots, coverall, jackets, hard hats, gloves, etc. Costs a little more but certainly pay off in the long run.

The only bad thing about that is the fire retardant chemicals cause cancer.

The gloves are not necessarily fire retardant…. I was just explaining the type of professional gear the vendor should have in that type of store. My son gets his gear in the one closet to us and it is not fire rated, just extreme weather and meets the safety regs for his industrial job(s.

Thanks everyone for the great suggestions. Always looking for a "better" work glove for both of us!

Good work gloves for the price. Not warm enough for what you are talking about but a good deal for most chores

For me dry is the key!

Me too! I dislike being wet and cold.
