Flipped over iceberg.

That is pretty cool!!!

[topgun 262]

Need to get some better insulated work gloves. Wind cuts right through mine when the wind chill is only 30F.

 

They sell winter style gloves in Texas?  

 

I know when we drove down to Tucson on new years a few years ago, we couldn't find the windshield washer fluid that had a freeze rating on it, it was all just blue water.  Here everything is -30 I think, down there, nothing.  

[topgun 262]

I know I will be buying some of the Glock Pmags when they come out.  

[dem beats 1,223]

They also don't stop water.

Neither do the Klims.

For working I'd really look at moisture control MUCH more than warmth.

Gortex and waterproof leather fail that bad?

That's crazy bro!

I'm sweaty. They do NOT breath. Sure they are waterproof, but breathable is more important. I bring a second pair if I need to dig myself out so my riding ones dno't get wetter.

Now I gotcha. That makes a fuckload more sense.

I purchased these to be my second pair. I will soak anything. It could be those thin cotton sock gloves, I'll drench them eventually. So they aren't warm and don't breathe well.....amazing combination.

Are all the Klim gloves lacking in breathable skills?

Not sure. I can't say that I've found any gloves that are great.

In general Klim stuff is really top notch. Exactly why I paid $230 for a pair of gloves. My $40 Cabela's ones are a lot warmer.

I do push them to the edge. -25F going 70mph with only a hand visor between them and moving air. My bars are heated, but if I turn them on right away then I start to sweat and stick.

It would be good to feel mine before wearing yours. When they pack down (took 1 ride) it is rather obvious they won't be warm.

What are you planning on wearing them for?

Snowblowing and moving stuff around the yard. Big sticks that fall. And some shoveling. I burn the sticks and then shovel the pit out.

Sticks puncture every winter glove I have ised. So I have been wearing choppers over thin gloves. That the fucking worst. My mountain gloves are great.... Until I have to touch things. The dexterity and warmth fade the moment I try to use them.

I also thought they might be good for the occasional sled ride or late motorcycle ride when it gets close to 30. And if I ever snowboard again. They feel like I have enough dexterity to work buckles.

I can't even work the pull start on the blower with my mountain gloves on.

Lol, unless it's really wet and I'm touching metal 30 degrees barely needs gloves.

[dem beats 1,223]

I unfairly hate Glock.

I have learned to cope with it.

I use kevlar gloves when welding, they are warm but hard to move in and the itch the hell out of my face like I been rolling around in fiberglass...

At that temp I am fine with a pair of 9mm latex gloves if I am only outside for 3 hours or less.

Puts things into perspective when I say something isn't warm, lol

IMO you'd be better off with 10 pairs of $23 gloves than one pair of $230.

Do you really pick up sticks when it is cold as fuck out? In the winter when I do that I just use some mildly insulated mechanix glvoes from Menards or Northern Tool.

The snowblowing and cold motorcycle ride I'd focus on a more breathable glove that isn't as tough. Same advice for the sled.

I only paid $190.

But I get your point.

No, they don't. Heh. Only wiper fluid we have normally is blue water, but they usually start selling 0F rated fluid during winter months.

Same; unfortunately I am usually touching metal and there's a 50/50 chance of it being wet. I'm also required to wear gloves anytime I'm working with my hands at the plant.

Still return them?

I got a good hook up on these elite Klim gloves.

One of the latex we are supplied is called TENACTIV  not bad really....But not good for welding,I have had them melt to my hand...LOL

Must be tough bending your fingers with a centimeter of latex around them. Sounds like a good grip work out.

If you want I can snatch you up some of the kevlar and latex.. I was talking about not sure if they would be good for what you need but I can get them all day long.

If you give me Kevlar I'm gonna shoot it or stab it.

Lol...these are cut&burn proof..But they still get holes in them from use..

[mikel7829 90]

I will grab a pair Tuesday.. And snap you a pic..probably not what your thinking not like a bulletproof vest   The company that supplies them for whatever reason has been packaging us washed ones that wear out much faster... The new ones I like to keep around for the people with seniority..

[dem beats 1,223]

Lol

Sounds cool Mike.
