Gloves

bigloo · 10-25-2008, 02:11 AM

So here is the deal. I dont get cold, I wear shorts and t shirts year round. That being said, sitting outside smoking in the oregon cold for 1.5 hours, I get freezing. No problems, sweaters, sweats, I am good to go. Not quite. I always take a laptop out with me so I need to be able to type and smoke AND keep my hands warm (my hands got so cold tonight, I could not type and my fingers literally froze!) Anyway, I tried all the gloves I have, and none worked well, too puffy and holding the cigar/typing sucks, I need a sleek, thin warm glove for herfing it up outside in winter. Any suggestions?

Have you tried silk glove liners? I use them when shooting in cold weather and they are great. Should be able to find them at Cabelas or a similar shop such as Eastern Mountain Sports.

Try some hunting gloves. They look like mittens, but fold back to reveal fingerless golves. I've used them for years to hunt in Ohio. You can flip your fingers under when cold, or out when you need to take the shot, or puff on a cigar.

I swear by nomex flight gloves.

They don't burn or melt if you grab your cigar wrong, and you can throw them in the wash.

You also might want to try a pair of golfing gloves, I use them for fishing since I need to be in contact with the line...very thin for the fingers but just enough warmth.

If I'm outside and need to use my hands I wear leather gloves lined with a thin layer of cashmere wool, perfectly warm and thin enough to type without a problem.

That's what I use. Footjoy gloves are cheap, thin, but keep your hands warm. I would definately check these out first as you can try them on at the store.
