Winter Detecting Gloves...

[sibbley]

What do you use for detecting gloves in the winter to protect from cold and wet situations? I already use gloves with cut and puncture protection, but they're not great for keeping hands warm and dry. Our safety guy at work showed me some that looked great, but they have steel in them for impact protection. Those won't work well using a pinpointer.

Hi ya Sibbley,
Saw your post but didn't see any responses attached, did you ever find a pair of gloves? That's my main issue as well, hands get so cold and hard to find anything that helps.
Good hunting.

Hey Cuda, I haven't found anything yet that I've actually bought. Cut resistant gloves are nice, but they have no lining to keep you warm. If I find something, I'll definitely post it here.

For wet, I put a nitrile/latex glove under my regular glove. Mostly just keeps the mud from seeping through my normal glove. Doesn’t do much for warmth.

Not necessarily just for detecting, but I like the Boss thinsulate lined deerskin gloves. They're around twenty bucks a pair and keep my hands pretty warm when out shoveling snow. Your post got me thinking, I should probably go fetch a new pair tomorrow at Tractor Supply.

I've been using these for the last 6-7 years; I'm on my second or third pair. they cover my arms up to my armpits, they are oversize so they can fit over a heavy sweatshirt or some jackets. the problem with other gloves I have used is in cold water your hands tend to sweat and get freezing cold, since these are larger, I buy those brown cotton work gloves you get in home depot and wear them as liners. I'm in the NYC area and used these in ice covered water salt and fresh. I searched the web and found them at the above supplier, but you can find them at other MD businesses. Any questions contact me.

These work well for me. Sturdy, warm, affordable

I've got a set of neoprene gauntlet gloves I used for panning in the colder months,
and even during the summer as most of our creeks and rivers are full of glacial melt..
meaning it's freakin' cold water.

Mike B (I'm another Mike B..lol) has got the right idea. I used to use a set of what
he's showing during trapping season, as I could reach down in the water to pull a
set and not get my arms all wet, which would immediately freeze up if cold enough.

This video must've been posted on YouTube the same day I saw your post. Thought you would get a better idea how good they are with liners inside them. The video isn't about the gloves, I just happened to see them in it. .
