Best Winter Work Gloves

Looking for the best winter work gloves? I personally am always looking for the best work gloves to wear during the winter that will provide me both comfort and function. I want my hands to stay dry and warm, and I want to my hands to still be able to function properly.

I realize a video about winter work gloves is far from awesome, but in the end I just want to help people out, and the amount of followers that ask me continuously what I recommend, tells me there are a lot of other people looking for the best winter work gloves as well. Also, on a side note, the heated Milwaukee Gloves are pretty killer...just not for any amount of dexterity.

I use the Milwaukee A1 and they are great! I wore them in -22 doing framing. You start off cold but once you start moving those gloves hold the warmth really well. And one day a coworker slipped with a recip saw and caught my hand full on with the blade and it didn’t phase the glove one bit and I felt nothing. Highly recommend!!

Use your favorite glove for dexterity as a liner, take the warmest for your outer glove. then cut finger tips off at first knuckle from palm of outer glove. If hands get to warm you can take off outer glove.

I bought a pair of wingleov heated work gloves and I feel the quality is fantastic. Comes with Kevlar material, wear-resistant and anti-wear. It is simply good news for outdoor workers in winter. It's currently on sale, and I feel it's very cost-effective.

I work for NCDOT and handle aluminum signs and steel sign post everyday. The first pair you showed us is basically what I use. I have some heavier insulated gloves but they work best for moving material. The thin gloves give the best dexterity, especially when handling the bolts and nuts.

useful tip for using gloves outside... i always wear black nitrate latex gloves underneath my Milwaukee cut level 1 gloves.. the latex gloves are thin enough where i don't notice the extra layer and if they do get wet.. my hands stay dry! may not work for everyone, but it works for me! great video, Kyle

I use those exact Milwaukee cut level 1. They work perfectly.

I work outside as a compressor mechanic. My go to winter glove is the Mechanix wear insulated original gloves. if I am going to be working in a wet or oily area I put on surgical gloves as liners and it works pretty good for me.

I've been building pole building for about 15 years now and my glove combo is a cut level 3 thin Milwaukee glove. And when it's cold I put a pair of the brown Jersey gloves over top. It holds the warmth in and when I have to handle steel i can pull the Jerseys off real quick. I've also purchased the new Milwaukee winter water resistant glove. And I yes they are bulky but kept my hands warm and dry. Good video bud keep it up. 👊

I keep my hands in my pockets and get the apprentice to do the work

As a guy with small fingers on big hands and also gets cold I might try those Memphis ice gloves! What sounds like problems for you sounds like solutions to me! Haha, thanks and good fortune this year!

cold weather sucks...but it is what it is, specially in northern IL where i live, i do concrete and we have been working this winter season nonstop, being outside when its 2 degrees and you have a wind chill of minus 25, just sucks, right now we're doing residential and just to frame the house footings is just brutal, cant wait for those 90s to comeback!!

Thanks man, I work in a plantation, I do a lot of irrigation work but now its fall time, not as cold as your winter for sure, but there's high humidity so that 5-6 am chill can get into the bones, especially when I'm driving 25km/hr on an open cabin tractor. So gonna need better gloves, my current gloves are super breathable and dexterous, ill try wearing some nitrile gloves underneath see how that works. Later on in the day when the sun is fully out its less of an issue.
Also putting the gloves to heat up on the hood of the tractor kind of helps at times when I need to take them off to handle some wet stuff.

Something insulated with a leather exterior is your best option for warmth and also waterproofing while still being dextrous.

Kyle, I enjoy your videos as I watch from the land down under. Don’t need cold weather gloves at the moment as everyday we set new record high temperatures and the country burning me. Your videos nice escape
Happy New Year

[vinson]

My go too work gloves are Milwaukee stage 1 but I gotta grab me that stage 3 Milwaukee gloves for sure Thanks and a Happy New year to you all

The Milwaukee cut level 1 gloves and the insulated winter version are my new favorite work gloves.
There’s nothing worse than a bulky work glove.

[grlampini]

Yes the Milwaukee cut 1&2 are the best I've ever used for dexterity but it right about the liner. No seam at the fingertips is why they are good.

I work through Saskatchewan winters for Redberry Renovations, what I have found works best for me is the thinner high dexterity gloves you suggest but on days that are -20 and colder I put a Little Hottie Hand Warmer on the back of my hand inside the gloves. Hands stay warm and you can still grab screw and nails from your pouch.

[Habana]

The Maxiflex gloves are the best for me !
Perfect fit and dexterity, great protection and they add you a lot more grip strength to your hands with their super grippy texture.

I was goin to say but you touched on it. The cheap latex gloves. I fuel semi trucks and the refer units for a company all day long outside. I live in iowa so it gets cold. I can easily wear the latex gloves by themselves to about mid 20s before my fingers start to get a little tingle. I usually can stand the tingling feeling for a long time before I'll use a thin glove that has a nice rubber kind of grip. That can last me to about single digit temps. Once the single digit temps hit then I use the latex and my insulated leather gloves over that. Great video!
I bought those Milwaukee heated gloves to try them when it gets real cold. I'm pretty sure they will work fine for what I do.
