Got a question for you Kolbers who live up Nawth and have more experience with serious deep-freeze weather than we do here in Tennessee. Was out in the hangar for a bit today, and could not keep my hands warm. Have several pairs of work gloves, ski gloves, etc. and none of them are worth beans. Have about quit flying during this part of the year because it's my hands that always get too cold first.



Suggestions? Online sources to buy them?



Thanks

  Richard- Cabela's or L.L. Bean.  Good luck.  It finally hit 30 degrees at 3pm, and the wind has stopped blowing for the first time in days.

Richard- another trick is to put latex or vinyl gloves on first, under the winter gloves- especially when wet.

Richard,



These rechargeable gloves work pretty good.

For really cold weather wear mittens. Don't know exactly why but cheep 

mittens work better than even the super insulated gloves. Better yet buy a 

big pair of mittens and ware gloves under them. When you need to do small 

work take the gloved hand out get it done them back in the mittens.

Old fart but young enough to know how to keep warm in a cold Michigan 

winter. I found the really best way is winter in Florida.

If you are flying a two stroke, why not put a heater in  it. With the heat captured out of the shroud of a 447 or 503 I could fly in 24  degrees with only the front enclosure and nothing behind me. If you go to  Cabela's for gloves I used the Kangaroo shooting gloves because I didn't have to  take them off to push buttons either on my radio or GPS. I ran a heater  (SCAT)tube in at the top of the windshield, and was comfortable. Since I no  longer have a two stroke, I bought a Chili vest and use the Roo gloves,  along with a silk scarf, (wild rag) and a stocking hat over my  headset.

  

 Mittens do work because the mittens allow trapped air to  warm.

I use insulated mittens with chemical handwarmers in each mitten. In really cold weather, I use one chemical handwarmer in my palm and another on the back of my hand. They last up to 6 hours and cost 99¢ a pair here in Oregon.

Basic trouble is, if you get your hands warm enough you can't do much  

work -- too bulky. Light gloves (silk is best) under mitts are best.  

Remove mitts for work, then  put on again. Tie mitts together with a  

tape long enough to go up inside one sleeve, across your shoulders,  

down the other sleeve. Otherwise you'll lose a mitt or it will go  

somewhere inaccesible Guaranteed.

Many mitts are not windproof. Military surplus has some good gear,  

and try mountaineering shops (REI, Eastern Mountain  Sports) and  

hunting gear (Cabellas's, Campmor)  I've never tried electric gloves,  

and they're pricey.

Chemical handwarmers are good, and you can put one inside each glove  

if it's big enough. For luxury, tuck one  inside your belt in  back.

You can't do good work with stiff hands, and there's no need to be  

uncomfortable. Dry gloves & mitts thoroughly every night.

Stay warm,

Russ K

   Since you're such a nice guy C I'll tell you which gloves are the best gloves in the world.

  

   Neoprene gloves!!   I bought a pair about 10 years ago C for working on my house in the snow.  They are the most comfortable gloves you can buy C the good quality ones are "form fitted" C and keep your hands very warm.  

  

   I just bought a pair C and they arrived last Monday.

  

   Get a pair C and I guarantee you'll love 'em.

Richard,



Contrary to the appearance of my overweight body, I have very skinny hands and fingers which are super sensitive to both heat and cold; same for my feet and toes. 



In any case, for hands and fingers the best no hassle solution I've found is to wear knit glove liners when it is cold and then put good gloves over them when it gets really cold. I also have very good pair of mittens but they are not as good as knit glove liners plus good gloves. My mittens have internal finger holes in them which helps a bit. However, I once tried combining the knit glove liners with the mittens. Bad idea. When removing the mittens the finger hole lining in the mittens came out stuck to the knit liners and I had a hard time getting them back in side where they belonged. Glove liners plus mittens without the finger holes would probably work too but liners inside gloves gives you more dexterity. 



When working in a cold shop/hangar if I don't want the noise of a big torpedo heater, then I use the washable knit gloves and a little milk-house heater for warming my hands occasionally, when doing work that requires the better dexterity.

Snowmobile gloves will take care of that. I had the same problem with the Harley. Even at 45f flying that Pterodactyl scare machine got my hands numb with border line hypothermia for the rest of the body.
