Mercy! Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 i voted for mittens because i like not being able to use my fingers Would you mind fleshing out this concept a little? That is, if it can be told in polite society. Has it something to do with self-abnegation? I always have one pair of mittens around, just because I think I should. But I never seem to wear them. Otherwise, it's gloves, gloves, gloves. One mistake I often make is to go cheap and then regret what I've gotten, so I end up with a box full of gloves that don't fit properly, or aren't warm or protective enough depending on their intended use. Come to think of it now - the poll was a bit vague. Are we talking just winter gloves here? Not garden gloves, or barbed-wire stringing gloves, or snake catching gloves, or...? Me, I have different tools for different purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Gleason Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 For walking out to my car, and that is about it? Gloves. For anything even remotely dealing with spending time outside? Mittens. If you have ever worked outside, you will fully understand why gloves suck. The best are the hunting mittens. They are fingerless gloves that fold over to being mittens. With gloves, your fingers will NEVER stay warm, no matter what types of material you are using. With mittens, your fingers are able to keep each other warm. Try running a gun on a survey crew for 10 hours in 20 below zero temperatures, then tell me the people using mittens are not "men". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigEdWalsh Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 I voted for Don't Need 'Em. I rarely wear gloves. I'm not sure I even currently own any. I don't think I've worn mittens since I was about 5 years old. Even as a kid, what good are they? How the hell could you throw a snowball?

Queen Prawn Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 If just driving somewhere, gloves. If I am going to be outdoors for a length of time, gloves and mittens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitetrain8601 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Neither. I'll just stick my hands in my pockets if they're too cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-MAN Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 The best answer is a compromise - when my son was in Boy Scouts we found these neat gloves that covered your fingers about 3/4 length with a mitten like cover that folded back when you needed to use your fingers!!! Think we got them at either Sport-mart or REI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are not buying the right gloves... Trust me, I've bought "the right gloves". I've spent so much money on gloves it's ridiculous. Stand outside in the dead of winter, without moving anything but your arms slightly, for 8 hours. Then tell me there is any glove that works. The only ones are the hunting gloves I mentioned, and they are basically mittens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the nose, on COLD days, get yourself one of those Head Sock things. Those things are amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
