Snow blowing gloves

[rjundi]

Hi

I desperately need a pair of tough work gloves that also very warm to use basically for snowblowing. Waterproof enough and durable. I buy a cheap pair of gloves and they get soaked and rip on the metal of the levers etc.

Budget is (mittens I have are 20+years old).

Recommendations?

I don't know if they are exactly what you are looking for, but these are the gloves I have

They are very comfortable, and very warm while not being bulky.

Snowmobile gloves that go halfway up the arms. Get a mitten type because they keep your hands warmer.

I'd get some insulated w/leather outer gloves.

I cant imagine they would get soaked through snow blowing.

2pair for 25$ or so

I use the uninsulated ones so my hands dont sweat, I have a good pair that ran 20$ and a 3 pack of cheapo ones that were 18$ for 3

I ALSO have a pair of these, but these are a bit unwieldy so I don't use them unless I'm going to be out in the cold for a long time, but not doing anything that requires a lot of dexterity. I'll be [censored] if they aren't toasty warm though.

RJ, Google lineman's gloves. I use a pair like these for snowblowing. The reflective cuffs are great for the end of the driveway too. Mine are a perk from work.

I live coastal so a lot of our snow is heavy and wet/(near slush). My machine clogs constantly.

Recent temps have been 0-10F doing this and my hands freeze.

My fingers froze the last storm, so I ended up getting an xl pair for 25 bucks and then using my removable liners from my L pair - effectively doubling up the liners. That worked OK at -17C for 45 mins.

Man those fingers ache BAD when they are thawing out - like major tooth ach in the fingers!

Maybe heated gloves?

The reviews are not so great. One says only above 40F.

A pair of heavy mittens with jersey gloves inside. I keep the jersey gloves on when I have to do finer work, and the mittens with jerseys inside when I'm just running the tractor.

And if it's really cold? A HotHands warmer in the fingers of each mitten, and a heat pack in the toes of each foot. I can stay out for hours in sub-zero temperatures with the warmers.

I get the insulated leather ones from lowes or HD. $10 and I also use them for welding. The leather is a non-suede (smooth) that water beads off of for a couple years.

Heated grips you'll never go back without them

Look for some good ice fishing gloves / mittens.

 

[Picky1]

I use these which do a decent job:

However, I do not think anything is going to work 100% since you are holding onto metal handles...unless you have heated grips or buy some ski gloves with built in heaters.

My younger brother, who lives in CT and has been using his snowblower quite a bit recently, swears by this brand: https://hestragloves.com/sport/en-ca/gloves/

Not cheap...but good stuff rarely is...

Interesting. But it would be cheaper to pay someone to do my drive than buy these $200 mitts.

Also pay attention to what you are wearing for pants and jacket. Keeping your core warm or slightly overheated promotes blood flow to your hands and feet and you will be able to get away with just decent $40-50 leather mitts that won't wear out quickly.
Dressed for ice fishing, I can get away with no gloves at all for 10-15 minutes in moderate -5C just sitting around.
Dressed that way, I'd just use my $10 insulated leather work gloves for something as active as snowblowing.

Warmest gloves I have ever worn were welding gloves from harbor freight.
