Gloves

[bigloo]

So here is the deal. I dont get cold, I wear shorts and t shirts year round. That being said, sitting outside smoking in the oregon cold for 1.5 hours, I get freezing. No problems, sweaters, sweats, I am good to go. Not quite. I always take a laptop out with me so I need to be able to type and smoke AND keep my hands warm (my hands got so cold tonight, I could not type and my fingers literally froze!) Anyway, I tried all the gloves I have, and none worked well, too puffy and holding the cigar/typing sucks, I need a sleek, thin warm glove for herfing it up outside in winter. Any suggestions?

Have you tried silk glove liners? I use them when shooting in cold weather and they are great. Should be able to find them at Cabelas or a similar shop such as Eastern Mountain Sports.

Try some hunting gloves. They look like mittens, but fold back to reveal fingerless golves. I've used them for years to hunt in Ohio. You can flip your fingers under when cold, or out when you need to take the shot, or puff on a cigar.

I swear by nomex flight gloves (http://www.uscav.com/Productinfo.aspx?productid=9038&TabID=548).

They don't burn or melt if you grab your cigar wrong, and you can throw them in the wash.

You also might want to try a pair of golfing gloves, I use them for fishing since I need to be in contact with the line...very thin for the fingers but just enough warmth.

If I'm outside and need to use my hands I wear leather gloves lined with a thin layer of cashmere wool, perfectly warm and thin enough to type without a problem.

Great suggestions guys. I am going to hit my local hunting/sports store, from your suggestions I think I can find most of these options there.

thx!

I 2nd the nomex, not the cheapest option but I love mine. Great for shooting/hunting etc. also

That's what I use. Footjoy gloves are cheap, thin, but keep your hands warm. I would definately check these out first as you can try them on at the store.

I have a pair of under armour gloves that I use during the winter...still feels a bit cold, but it works enough

Thermax. Accept no substitute. I designed, manufactured and marketed work gloves for 25-years; I am a master of fiber. Thermax, a hollow microfiber, is the ticket.

A white dinner glove like Mr. Peanut wears would work well... Get the top hat while you're at it.

If I'm outside and need to use my hands I wear leather gloves lined with a thin layer of cashmere wool, perfectly warm and thin enough to type without a problem.These work well for me, but getting the right fit is important. I really need to try on gloves to get the right pair, usually the fingers are too long. With the new propane radiant heater I just bought, I'm hoping that I won't need the gloves as often. :ss

I do not suggest this...only because running gloves are thin and sleek so that your hands breathe and don't get totally sweaty. They are great for running due to the fact that once you start moving your body generates so much heat..standing around smoking is a different story..

Lu go with sgloves that are meant for activities that don't require much movement to generate heat such as running.

I just ordered these (http://www.shopadidas.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2434985) adidas running gloves last friday. I'll let you guys know how they work out.

Get the winter version of football recievers gloves or coaches gloves. They are still thin enough to use your fingers but warm enough to keep feeling in them :tu

You talking about the Under Armor Cold Gear?

Ragg wool fingerless gloves. I wear them ice fishing so I can tie knots and stuff. Wool doesn't burn very easily either. Some of the man made fibers can burn pretty easily.

Trek has some wool glove "liners" that go inside the padded bike gloves or used with a full glove outer shell. They are just warm enough, but super thin, sturdy, and easy to hold a cigar with. I have used them in seasons past when smoking outside.

Go with the Nomex if you can get them. I used to do a lot of flying in helicopters while in the Coast Guard and I was able to load and shoot with a 35mm camera with no problems. You should be able to type with them.

[beatnik]

someone already posted but i would go for gloves with no finger tips i would think this would help typing and holding your cigar. I have dropped cigars while wearing gloves before and not noticed due to not being able to feel the cigar in my hand.

(Also having a couple drinks helps you drop and forget about things too :al)
