    Default Winter glove recommendations

    Was on the top of sunshine canyon today installing rails for solar panels it was a balmy 26 degrees and 30mph winds.

    i have some decent winter gloves but they don't have the dexterity to install hardware. Switched to the maxflex work gloves I normally wear and froze but got most of the hardware on the first rack installed.

    So the question is anyone have a favorite winter working glove that keeps as much dexterity as possible and also won't shred itself within the day? And long shot hopefully find in stock and pick up tomorrow?

    I used to wear the old rag wool open finger tip gloves. Give them a try, even mostly warm when wet. Now I seldom wear gloves, and I work outside all day. If it gets below 10 or 15 I wear leather Thinsulates. Just a no name safety glove. I'm like you, I need super dexterity at work. My conclusion is nobody makes a perfect glove for outside.

    Tell me where to get the open finger tip gloves please. I've seen guys with them here and there but never knew they were warm.

    funky those are like the ones I have much too thick to start bolts and washers

    I was reading about fingerless this evening

    The racking is aluminum sucks the heat right out when holding in position and bolting together.

    Seems like some people will do a latex liner underneath the thin work gloves to help hold in heat.

    Latex also holds moisture against your skin and not allowing your hands to breathe.

    Best thing I've used is the flip over mitten type of hunters gloves. On extra cold days add a thin liner glove

    Helps keep your hands moisturized during our dry winters.

    The tool I use for steep roofs is aluminum, and hollow, so I can attest to it sucking any heat right out of your hands.

    I've been looking for good cold weather gloves too. I saw the "-40F" gloves on Amazon and the reviews are shit, so the search continues.

    ^^^This or a light Jersey glove with a heavy leather glove to go over.

    When need high dexterity remove heavy leather glove and use Jersey til get cold and then switch hands.

    Handshoe shuffle.
