Thin winter gloves for chaining

just throw singles on the outside. couple of bungees. bend the end hooks. so regular gloves would work

 

I just buy weatherproof gloves from walmart or something.

They're thick. But water resistant and insulated. They keep hands warm and dry.

 

Ive used thinsulate gloves for a very long time.

However, enter the fairly recent mechanix gloves. They wont hold up very well to really bad cold ice, snow, rain etc. Back to the weather proof thinsulate gloves. Keep a spare pair always in your tractor. Your life and limbs plus fingers might depend on it.

Its not bullet proof against any winter temp. Anything that is like -45 on down is really dangerous and we are very careful with trip planning, fuel in particular and carefully decide when to leave the warm tractor. (Which is usually only about 60 degrees when its really bad out.)

If you are lucky, you wont have to chain hardly at all. It depends on paying attention to the mountain passes via websites with various DOT, Arizona comes to mind among others like Oregon DOT. And understanding when it's clear to roll over them even if it means waiting a short time until it's cleared.

Chain is good but its a last resort.

 

We are in the PNW and chain quite a bit.

I use the boxes gloves with thin stretchy knit gloves underneath. It works great to keep dry and warm.

 

I throw chains up to 12 times a day on certain jobs. I have different gloves for each type ( warm, cold, ice, snow and mud )

My preference for cold + wet snow is an impact glove.

The leather stops 1/2 of the wet ( you will still need to dry them out ) and when they are dry then work perfectly for cold.

These seem to work really well if you’re looking for disposable gloves that don’t suck. Amazon and Walmart have them.

 

Commercial fishing gloves. Stormr. Glacier. high seas. Atlas.

They all make #### good neoprene or PVC gloves for somewhat reasonable prices.

 

I bought gloves from this company that I really like.
