Waterproof insulated work gloves

Advice
#1

Whenever I camp, I bring a pair or two of work gloves. One insulated, the other not, but both leather. Looking for a pair of good waterproof insulated work gloves (not for paddling). Anybody know of any good ones?

They are actually waterproof. Not super warm, but ok. Good grippy palm.

Andy,



Don’t know what you want to do with these gloves, but I have two suggestions to offer. The first is to just look through the glove selection at your local hardware store. They sell a rubber-equivalent glove with fuzzy on the inside. Also, for poling I use the cotton gloves that are dipped in latex, but only the working surfaces. The front is waterproof, grippy, and tough; the backs are just cotton knit material.



The second suggestion is to get barbeque gloves. Ours came with a rotisserie grill my wife bought from Ronco. I used these gloves when I was putting up berries this spring. I was reaching into a pot of boiling water to put / get the jars in / out, so they are definately waterproof and well insulated. Whether they are tough enough to function as work gloves, I can’t say. They cost $20 from this source: http://www.popeilfamilystore.com/glv.html



Good luck with your search,

for my son…
He’s working in Seattle as a crew chief doing environmental rehab. They’ll do anything from ripping out invasive plants to building and cleaning trails. It rains a lot there and can get cold. Hence the desire for waterproof insulated work gloves. I’d like to get a pair myself.



I did see Duluth Tradings gloves. They’re not expensive. Has anyone tried these?

Just saw some
Andy,



I stopped by Bowens Farm Supply store in Annapolis today. I eyeballed the rack of gloves they had there while I was checking out.



There were two types of gloves there, both under $10 that are insulated and waterproof. I belief the brand name was Workingman, and they are work gloves. One a tuff orange rubbery material with insulation inside. The second, were actually mittens of a black rubbery material with insulation. These mittens had a very tough and very grippy working surface, and seemed to have a little more insulation.
