    I use the old Thermaltakes. A bit chunky but have not failed me in -50 combined with wind chills that are unknown at the time then.

    Get the thinsulate. I don't know why I incorrectly typed the thinsulate. Those are exactly what I had in mind.

    Then get a pair of ski googles for your eyes and a arabic military cover for your nose and mouth as well as neck, I don't know what they are called. Remember in -50 skin frost over pernamenly within 15 minutes and children cannot be outside ever at -64 because the cold air will kill them via the lungs.

    This is what the company provides for us.

    They are decent enough. I keep 3-4 pairs in rotation in the winter. They are on the defrost vents when not on my hands. If it's snowy and my hands get wet getting set up to deliver, I swap for a dry pair. Likewise in subzero temps. The truck stays running and I get warm ones before my hands get so cold they hurt.

    If I had to buy my own, it would be frosty grips. They have them at Speedway. I think. It's been a while.
