I like to use mechanic gloves they are pretty warm and u can do just about anything in them.  wells lamont makes some pretty nice ones.

The best winter work gloves that I have found are Kinco Insulated Gloves with the knit cuff, the cuff keeps snow, sawdust and wind out. It is what I use around the sawmill. They come in a few sizes so you don't have a lot of extra at your finger tips.

My problem is there's always alot of extra at my fingertips and my fingers always git cold. Even tried neoprene, cold fingers and sweaty plams. :D

We use wool gloves from Sportsman guide they have heavy wool ones they are cheap, sized good and keep your hands warm while runin the mill  I think they are israeli military surplus they are tightly woven and cheap large fits well with no finger slack. The US glove liners are poor quality very loose woven.

I'm not a northern guy but my hands get cold. I use Atlas Therma Fit. They are not waterproof but they are warm, pretty rugged and comfortable.

There is no such thing as a warm glove!  Get a pair of mitts instead.

I just have to agree!

I have yet to find a pair of gloves that will keep my hands (fingers) warm!

My best suggestion would be to find yourself a pair of wool gloves and a pair of leather mittens as an outer shell!

Other than that suggestion, I would go with some of the extreme weather mitts like they wear in the Arctic Regions!

I've tried many types but prefer the old brown jersey cotton gloves, when they get holes or pitched up throw em. Frank C.

I'm in Montana, but it does get a bit nipply on occasion. I use Kinco buffalo hide, insulated or not depends on how busy I am. When I have to use my 4-wheeler in the extreme cold I use insulated leather mitts.

     I agree with  the mitten crowd.  If fingers get cold, have to go to mittens.Most Leather chopper mitts are useless. too stiff and clumsy. Plus only one layer. have to have two layers be effective. even a pair of thin gloves inside a mitten would help. I use yellow fleece mittens with thin wool liners. Wells lamont used to sell them. Seemed like they were phasing them out, but I went online a couple years ago and bought a bunch. Wool liners I don't know the source. We have found most at garage sales. If  two layered mittens don't keep you warm, its a sign to go sit by the fire.

Put a pair of cheap latex on first. Then your gloves over them. Works real good for me.

How far north do you want to go? I wear the cotton/synthetic orange work gloves with the rubber cross hatch pattern on them for work on the mill. The benefit of these gloves is that you can switch hands when the fingers blow out. They are also under $5.00 a pair. As it gets colder (well below freezing, I wear a pair of thin insulated leather ones with a fabric cuff to keep the sawdust out.

Plain insulated leather work gloves, no frills. Mitts to change into although if it is that cold I try to not work outside. It was -40 here last night and might be again tonight. Weird stuff starts to happen at -40 and it is best to wait it out.

Thanks guys I tried all sorts of gloves in the past, gave up and just stuck with jersy gloves and froze fingers the last couple a years, and picked up the hunt again this year. I can't (don't want to) imagine -40° :o coldest I have ever seen was -2.5, -40 that makes me hurt just thinkin about it. :(

I still wear my military issue ext. cold weather gloves; wool inserts with thick cattlehide outers. Years ago, we would deploy to Elmendorf AFB in Alaska every winter for 2 weeks. we would usually fly a 4 turn 4 for 12 days, testing the limits of the aircraft systems in sub zero conditions. miserable, frigid environment with temps ranging from -30° to -50° or worse. As R.man says, weird things happen when it gets that cold. Gloves did their job though...still got all my digits. ;) :) The gloves aren't made any more, but you can still find them in gov. surplus stores.

  Choppers, mitts are the same thing.  I had a order to finish, it started out 3 above and was 3 below by time I got done.  Gloves will not keep my hands warm at those temps.   I have enough wood chopped for the stove, just have to keep throwing it in, it's -22 again this morning.   Steve

There are mittens that will keep your hands warm, firefighters use them, but you loose dexterity and that's where the problem is. The simple cheap jersey gloves and keep your hands in your pocket as much as possible. When its real fridged I'am in the cellar sharpening bands or watching Mash reruns. Frank C.

I am also with the mitten crowd  when it gets real cold.  Otherwise I stay inside where it is warm.  :)

Maybe I will be thrown in the woodshed, but I would say you have a real interesting situation there in Montana!   :D  (My wife was reading this thread and noticed it.)
