car hauler wear and tools ,

Get you some quality, insulated bib coveralls and a nice quality jacket and you should be able to stay warm in most situations. Try to avoid steel toed boots and go for the composite toed ones if you're gonna stand outside all day in the cold.

When I needed my own tools to keep on the truck I just bought some Harbor Freight ones knowing they might get stolen or "borrowed" and never returned.

 

If your getting cold your not loading fast enough. Jeans, turtleneck with the occasional hoodie and boots kept me plenty warm enough in northern winters.

 

What kind of gloves are y'all using. I'm new to car hauling and am looking for a good glove, more particularly for wet weather.

 

There are a lot of nice gloves out there, just depends on how much you're willing to spend really. I kinda like Mechanix brand ones.

 

Get some insulated leather gloves, then treat them in mink oil.

 

The pilot had a sale on insulated cat gloves , with rubber coating for rain & cold .plus leather suede insulated gloves I just picked up two pair the pilot points come in handy

 

For warm, wet weather, I just used my normal leather or mechanic's gloves. On those days were everything is packed with slush, I used the insulated chemical gauntlet gloves. In the dry cold, I used an insulated, waterproof leather glove with a Thermostat glove liner so I could take off the outer while in the vehicles without exposing bare skin to the elements. (I ran the Dakotas and Minnesota.)

And @truckon, hoodie and jeans may work for the few minutes it takes to load a wedge, but that doesn't get it when loading a stinger, especially if you're having to pull cars, too. Sliding in and out of 10 cold ### seats sucks the heat right out of you, and I promise you're not spending 2 hours outside, in below zero temps with the wind blowing, wearing nothing but hoodie and jeans.

 

I have a pair of old Carhartt insulated bib overalls with no metal rivets or snaps, haven't found them in stores in a few years, they do a good job. For gloves I use insulated rubber gloves with liner, works well in the winter and in the summer rain I use them without the liner. As for boots, Red Wing with Thinsulate, composite toe and a bump cap under my knit hat.
