Dan, those are very good gloves. I`ve been thru a couple of pairs.

Y`all definitely put me in the mood to sample more, these just arrived 5 mins ago:

I also order these on Fleabay, $5 from HK:

Good to know, I just got mine, looking forward to using them. Keep us posted on the alternatives.

Disregard - initial reply was for a another cold weather post.

I use the lined rubber gloves from Home Depot. I`m not doing a really detailed wash - just getting the crap off so dexterity isn`t a huge issue.

Note they were less than optimal when I was wearing glasses, in case that factors in; too much condensation on the lenses.

Duluth is what I have as well. I use their neck gaiter in combination with the Wooly Mammoth hat. It`s a great combination. They work well when working crashes or outside for extended periods. I don`t have glasses, so I can`t speak to Accumulator`s comment - but I could see it happening. I think Duluth has the gaiters on sale.

Duluth Trading`s clothing/etc. is kinda funny IME...some stuff is great, other stuff is simply not. Sizing is all over the map too. Despite having medium-large hands, I got their largest winter gloves ("Trigger Mitts" or something like that) so I could wear some light liner gloves inside them. I can *barely* squeeze into them with light liners; these are "XXL"?!?

Glacier bay was having a buy one get one free sale so I bought a pair of the ice ones recommended above and another pair different model for snow removal.

I just finished a wash when I started it was 33 degrees out and my hands stayed very warm dipping them into the cold water to wet the mitts.

Highly recommend.

And I thought I was the only one that thought so. Cabela`s clothing lines are the same for me.

I was near Harbor Fright this past week and bought those gloves Fishing is modeling in post #12 of this thread. I think they were $7, made by "Hardy". They call them one-size-fits-all and are a bit large for me. I haven`t actually used them yet.

The Clam gloves shown in post #22 are very nice quality gloves. One is leaking already. The gloves are probably just a bit thick and there`s more loss of dexterity than I care for. Very warm otherwise, I`ve used them twice.

Gloves from China are still en route. Target date: Jan 25

Autogeek forum member UncleDavy dropped off some glacier gloves a couple weeks ago. These things work awesome!

Could’ve used some of these this pst weekend. 25* is cold for a 2bm wash but if your fast you can do it all before the water freezes on the paint and the hands weren’t to bad either.

Can`t put into words how much of a game changer the Glacier gloves are. I have gone from dreading a winter wash to being happy to get outside for a bit.

I gotta do it with -no glove-
washing is a reciprocal feedback on mitt/medium for me - post heavy PW pre-rinse. I need the feedback provided from the mechanical agitation to lmk if the paint is more clean, more gritty, do I need to do a premtive clean in the rinse bucket and another shampoo dunk , etc, etc.

You must have better paws than me. Mine scream anytime it`s under 50 and I`m washing! That said the glaciers are pretty tactile for an insulated glove.
