Gloves

Can anyone recommend a GOOD pair of gloves that will keep my hands/fingers warm longer than a few minutes. I was out shoveling last night, granted, it was cold at about 2 below, my fingertips were almost numb after about 15 minutes. I have what I thought were decent cold weather gloves from Cabela's. It took a while for the numbness to go away once I was back inside. I have never found a pair that really do what they claim they can do. Lighter fluid or battery powered hand warmers are an option I guess.

The only thing I have found that

works on my old fingers is leather mittens with fleece lining and a shooting finger. Inside these I put hot hands hand warmers. These work for shoveling, driving the tractor and working around the barn. One thing on the hot hands, if only used for an hour or so then seal them in small zip lock baggies and squeeze out the air. Can get a couple or three uses out of them.

I have my dad's wool

mitten's with a shooting finger and separate leather shell from the Korean war. Both mittens and shell are in incredibly good shape for nearly 80 years old. Not especially warm but I have not tried the chemical hand warmers in then yet. I never had great luck with the chemical warmers.

Dennis is right. I use leather choppers with hot packs.
