1. Im going with gloves

As long as they have fingertip thingys that are touch screen compatible.

There’s also a mixed lobster glove/ mitten that gives the thumb and pointer fingers “glove fingers” while the rest huddle in mitten fashion.

Something for everyone!

3. Thank you very much. I didn't know about the other types of gloves/mittens.

13. Ah, I like that mixed one. Will look for it.

The first time I used the touch screen gloves...it was so cool they thot of that.

2. gloves in general, but...

I have used (convertible) mitten gloves for many years.

[debm55]

4. Thank you Eugene. I will have to look into them. as they sound interesting.

5. Depends on what you're doing.

If it's -15 and you're outside chopping wood, or just out walking around, you'd better have mittens, which are much warmer than gloves.

[debm55]

6. Thank you Ocelot II . It does depend on the job, When I walk Dolly I wear gloves.

7. Depends on what the task is...but just for casual wearing...

Mittens. I mean come on I live on a mitten.

8. Thank you very much MiHale

9. Knitted gloves down to 15F or so. Added reflective wind-breaker mittens on top below that to 0 degrees F...

and when it is subzero, I pull out my deerskin shearling-lined mittens that are the BEST--even better than all those expensive technical ski gloves I've bought over the years.

10. Thank you hithe2B, I will have to look into the deerskin shearing's. Thank you very much.

11. My WW2 vet dad

came home with sheepskin mittens, that had the index finger separated so the airforce gunners could pull the trigger. They were brand new, but all us kids used them in the Cleveland winters and they got totally worn out. I keep looking for them in storage, but they disappeared.

23. I think you can find those at Army Navy stores

Were they like this?

12. I have 2 pairs of winter gloves.

My first pair are black velvet Isotoners with faux fur inside them. These gloves are most likely 9 years old and are important to me because I can steer a vehicle steering wheel. I accidentally lost the left hand glove a few weeks ago and found it frozen in the driveway. It took several days for it to thaw and dry out.



My second pair of winter gloves are Heat Lockers. These gloves are thermal and extremely warm. The only problem is there's not any grip while steering a wheel or shoveling snow; that's a problem. They don't get worn as much as my Isotoners.

14. I wonder if you could glue a thin strip of leather on the palm side of the finger

[Niagara]

18. That's a brilliant idea!

Why didn't I think of that?

[electric_blue68]

20. Aw, you're very welcome! Good luck. I'm a crafter, and artist...it might help certain thinking.

[soldierant]

16. Yes, Isotoner does think of things

that other glovers don't

[debm55]

25. Thank you Niagara, I will look for both at the store

[electric_blue68]

15. I usually wear gloves. Maybe I should get a pair of mittens, too.

[debm55]

26. Thank you electric_blue68. Going to look for mittens.

17. Gloves

I had a nice pair of oversized snowmobile mittens I could wear over lighter gloves for snowblower, or cleaning off the car to get home on days when it snowed whole at work.
Only mittens I ever had as a adult. I lost them somewhere & never replaced them.

[debm55]

27. Thank you ProfessorGAC , Those snowmoble mittens sound like a good idea.

[catbyte]

19. I prefer gloves, but if the temperature falls below -5, I go with mittens.

[debm55]

28. Thank you catbyle, I am going to buy some mittens.

[Emile]

21. Gloves, I like being able to use my fingers.

[debm55]

29. Thank you Emile. That's how i feel too. especially when walking the dog. But are going to look into mittens

[Clouds Passing]

22. Gloves for normal cold. Mittens for very cold.

[debm55]

30. Good idea Clouds Passing. Got to get some mittens.

31. I always thought mittens were more for children

But, as usual, I am learning from above posts that I’m wrong!
