    Does anyone recommend their gloves? I have one of their jackets and I swear it's the warmest 90 bucks I ever spent.

    I'm currently rotating gloves out. 3/4 pairs, leave a pair near the bunk heater, and rotate them out when required. Works well, heard latex gloves work, but I've been forgetful in snatching some from a Walmart.

    I'd like to find a brand that holds up well in rain/snow... plus won't be worth ####-all after two weeks yanking on chains and straps.

    I've tried most everything at one time or another including neoprene and rubber, and I always end up going back to well made leather gloves, preferably Elk. I have some lined ones for when it is colder, but the main thing is that if it is not cold enough that they stay dry, just have plenty of spare pairs drying.
    We have a local glove company here by the name of Yellowstone Glove Company. They are well made and less expensive than bigger brand names like Wells Lamont. If you ever find yourself in Southeast Idaho you might keep your eye out for them.

    Looks identical to the place I was just in... the only difference is I had snow covered tarps to pull off :p

    On the flip side... I almost murdered the receiver this morning. Talk about a grade-A ####.
