Some of those old gloves look a like what I used back in the Navy. (Almost bombproof and would last forever.) Yes, they were waterproof and warm! Leather with Wool liner. Super gloves.

Supply and demand. Amazon has software that adjusts prices according to these things. That's why some colors cost more than others. Sometimes I will pay extra for a color I like, but sometimes, I won't.

Oh that's so nice of you! I was able to find some goatskin gloves in men's small that work great. Saturday is the last trail stewards day of the year, so it'll be nice to have good gloves.

Oh, and I found these at our outfitter's anniversary sale, just in time for the autumn tropical storms to hit, so I haven't really had a chance to wear them yet.

Glad to hear it, [MENTION=421867]Korina[/MENTION]. Let us know how they work out. I got a new pair of gloves, too, and I haven't decided yet how well they work. Last year, my hands were too cold. These gloves may be warm enough, but they're stiff and don't give me much dexterity.

Maybe Wednesday, if it stays cold in the mornings. Our weather has been weird lately (i.e. typical November) with lots of tropical storms bringing warm weather and buckets of rain, and in between systems the overnight temps drop 15*.

So far my layering system is this:

- minus33 merino wool base layer gloves.
- Gore windstopper gloves.

I think these 2 alone would keep me warm enough, and would just be concerned about water protection for cold rain days.

I have carhart waterproof winter gloves and might just use them.

going to give these a try. not for being rain proof, but rather as a winter over glove for cycling & roof raking. will be interesting to try them with the bar-mitts

Glad to see other people going the "work glove" route. I was at Home Depot the other and picked these up on a whim: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Firm-Gri...FZJDNwodEhYElQ

My girlfriend was making fun of me, because she said they looked funny, but I'm pretty happy with them. They didn't have any size Medium, so I got a large that is slightly roomy for now, but I figure that will leave room for a liner later (they are not particularly thick and have no insulation).

I use full length rubber dipped gloves with that thin lining you get at the big box stores. Add a wool/poly glove liner. Fully waterproof, great wet bar grip.

Well, had my first cold weather commute this morning; 38F or so. I layered the gloves under my regular slightly-too-big mitts, so that area was warm, but the ends of my fingers were cold the whole way I'm not sure if it was the cold or the tourniquet effect of the tight fingers. They are definitely waterproof; my hands were nearly dripping when I took them off, and I had to turn them inside out so they'd dry.

They're definitely better than bare skin, but I'm not sure they're perfect. I wonder about those dishwashing gloves from the dollar store; they're nice and thick...

I want to learn how to take off my hands and turn them inside out!

Yes, if they're too tight, they could make you cold.

Hah! Didn't even see that.
