Glove advice

I got some of these off of tramdock last year. Great fit and surprisingly warm for how thin they feel:

They are my main glove now.

How are they in bone chilling weather? Do you know how those compare to the Hestra Army Gore-tex gloves?

They're definitely not hestras, but kinco 901's are rock solid for $15-20. Just be sure to sno-seal them.
I used them nights all season at WA last year. There were at least a couple bone chilling nights and they worked fine. I wouldn't pay $150 for them, but if you find a deal ... I'm happy with the $60 I payed for mine.

I bought these off Tramdock over the summer. I can't wait to test them out this season.

Killer gloves. A little Snow-Seal and you're good to go and can't beat the price.

I'll have to keep an eye on Tramdock, at that price I'd take a chance.
I saw an under the cuff version of the Army G-Tex gloves but not in my size. Think they would be warmer than the Hestra Vertical Cut Gloves?
:lol: Looks like gloves I had working in a metal fab shop. Where would I buy snow-seal?

I'm looking @ some Swany gloves:
http://www.swanyamerica.com/
Don't see (didn't look hard) for the particular ones I'm interested in...but they are leather, have the hand-warmer zip pocket on the back of the hand...cuff, etc.
Sposed to be great.

You don't have some lying around? :???:
I'd imagine most hardware stores would have it.
I purchased these, though in black for last season. Great glove, fingers never got cold and the versatility is fantastic. I'm not sure the same model is still available, but their 2 and 1 system is great.

Hestras have the reputation from all over. I have some Marmot "Ultimates"? for almost a decade..still going strong...leather with long cuff= really warm....but I don't think they're the greatest in Spring conditions/temps with water-laden snow...even after waterproofing...guess is that one needs good % of Gore-tex outer...

That looks like a great deal. I paid near full retail at the local shop. I was hesitant to pull the trigger from places like tramdock as I'm not all that confident in consistencies in hand sizes across brands.

I've used Hestra for countless years and IMO you can't beat them for warmth or duribility. I have this glove http://www.hestragloves.com/www/liv...t.aspx?treeid=321&shoptreeid=19&ProductID=204
only mine are now 4 years old and still goin wicked strong.

That's why I went with Hestra's when I saw them on Tramdock. I've read reviews online and people say the last for years. I've been going the cheap route for a few years now and wanted something to last me for several seasons.
Just pulled the trigger on these. Good price but the shipping was high, $15 to ship a pair of gloves UPS ground. :-o
I don't really have a problem with cold hands, It's just time to replace my worn out old gloves.
Thanks for all of the input, hopefully these work out and I won't have to buy another pair for quite a while.

Marmot Ultimates! I'll second that. Get the mittens if your worried about cold fingers. I've got the gloves, my wife has the mittens. I only wear mine on COLD days (high temps in the low teens max) - they're too warm for me other wise. My "cold blooded" wife finds that hers get too warm for her close to the freezing point!
