Keep Your Hands Warm with the Best Winter Gloves

Clam’s Featherlight Waterproof IceArmor gloves feature a 100% polyester outer softshell design but still remain durable and flexible. The Gloves feature a polyurethane palm insert for improved grip control. This means that if you’re handling ski poles, a rifle,  shotgun, or even just trying to keep a hold of your dog’s leash you’ll be good to go. These gloves are very affordable at just under $30 making them one of the most affordable options on this list. The gloves keep your fingers warm by making use of lightweight foam insulation in tandem with snug neoprene cuffs to keep moisture and cold air out.

The Hot Shot Defender insulated gloves are some seriously heavy-duty gloves that can take on some of the coldest and wet conditions your hunting adventures have to offer. Squarely aimed at hunters, the Hot Shot Defenders feature a 40-gram 3M Thinsulate Insulation and a waterproof insert to prevent moisture soak from reaching your hands. Finally, as an added bonus, ProTex touch technology lets you use your smartphone or tablet so you can snap pictures, answer phone calls or read the news while you’re waiting in your deer stand.

The North Face is one of the biggest names in the game when it comes to outdoor clothing and I’ve personally owned two pairs of the Apex Plus Etip gloves in the past. They are great gloves and offer a decent amount of protection from the elements without being too cumbersome. The gloves are very slim so they don’t offer the best cold weather protection but they do make it much easier to operate touchscreens and the like and they are comfortable and don’t make your hands sweat.

Mechanix gloves are some of my favorite gloves that I have in my collection and I probably have at least 5 different pairs of them. Mechanix gloves are the go-to glove for people who want to get work done and the ColdWork gloves combine the legendary durability of the Mechanix brand and combine them with 3M Thinsulate synthetic down insulation to bring you an affordable, comfortable, and durable winter work glove that won’t let you down.

Action heat makes a whole lineup of battery-operated winter apparel but the Featherweight gloves seem to be the most desired out of their entire lineup. The AA battery-powered gloves give you a maximum temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit on the palms which means you can stay outside for longer and keep your hands toasty. The gloves are also weather-resistant meaning that water or snow won’t make your hands damp or ruin the gloves. 3 AAA batteries in each glove will give you enough power to heat your hands for up to 4 hours and the adjustable gauntlet straps will keep the cold air out.

It’s winter about half the year where I live.  I take my glove selection seriously, and KUIU has never let me down with theirs.  A warm, durable, breathable, and totally waterproof glove made with premium materials, KUIU always puts out heavy duty snivel gear and the Expedition is no exception.  The wool blend lining and Primaloft insulation keeps the warmth in, a seamless waterproof HDry membrane and neoprene cuff keeps the water and snow out, and Pittards Oiltac material helps you get a grip on all your gear.  Even the shell material has been designed around not getting wet, as Toray’s Primeflex material doesn’t take up water.  If your hands happen to get hot during intense activity, the HDry membrane is breathable as well.  In short, these gloves are built for serious comfort and performance.
