(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best gloves & mittens for men

I'm from Colorado so pretty acclimated to the cold, but that's about what I wear in single digits...maybe even less if it's not windy. For 29F I'd wear a t-shirt and a pretty thin 1/4-zip sweatshirt, maybe midweight by most company's measures, and probably some running pants with no shorts underneath, just in case the wind kicks up. I'd bring a superlight shell jacket for the wind on long runs, because the wind can go from 0 to 20mph in no time up here.

I mainly rely on gloves and head covering to manage body temp. For gloves, I've settled on the JackRabbit Dutch as the best balance for most runs because they have thin material over the fingers but a windproof mitten shell. If my hands get sweaty, I can slide off the mitten and let them dry out a bit, then pull the shell back over before they get cold. SmartPhone covering on the fingertips works well in the 20s/30s but gets finicky in the teens. As someone else said, sometimes I'll run in a t-shirt and these gloves.

For head covering, I'd probably go with nothing at 29F, and an earband only at 29F and windy. I'd bring along a beanie in case it got colder, or if I had to stop running for some reason and didn't want to dump all my heat and start shivering. I very rarely wear a hood because I want all the heat/moisture rising off my torso to escape.

At around 20-25F I'll add an IceBreaker merino buff, mainly to deal with the wind. Any colder and I might pull it up over the back of my head to act so it covers my neck...kinda like a hood but with more flexibility.

it's cold but not insanely cold yet. when polar vortex hits, then everyone that has ultra warm gloves will be laughing

i LOVE my ski mittens. so super warm

I would really like to get a pair of these, they are the gloves that Ryan Gosling wore in the movie drive, pretty badass gloves if you ask me. I know the on the suppliers website you get get them in like 5 or 6 other colors.

But here is the pair i will probably get, suggnificatly cheaper, I don't have money to burn so my next best option

FYI not glove gloves, they are driving gloves

Wool is the best to keep warm, but in my opinion doesn’t look the best. The only parts of my wardrobe that really change is more hoodies, carhartt jacket , wool flip mittens, wool socks, and a stocking cap. Not the most stylish, but it works for me. I skip the jacket a lot of the time unless I’m going to be spending a long time outside. Substitute a good down jacket instead of the carhartt if I’m going to be doing something outside with my nieces or skiing or something.

Zippers?, Beacons?, POLES?! I thought this was /r/Snowboarding ?

Yeah, I just take mine off to diddle with stuff.

I figure most folks here are "typical" boarders. Mostly riding just looking for something warm that lasts and is inexpensive. You really can own Kincos for life with proper care. A lot of rope tows in parks around here and they're great for that as well. If you're an outdoor photographer... no bueno.

I've also got some of these. Much softer but very similar... maybe not quite as warm. Super inexpensive.

I have had these for a year now and love them. They are pretty flexible but keep their shape and allow for great grip. They're also thin enough to text on my iphone.

pack layers and you can shed as needed: heres my layout

Base Layer:

I try to avoid cotton stuff cause of chafing, highly recommend exofficio if thats an issue.

runner leggings/thermal leggings

long sleeve work out material shirt/ thermal shirt

smartwool socks! smartwool is the best. I use it for backpacking too.

Second Layer:

arctix snow bibs from amazon : 40 (You want snow pants/bibs. getting snow all down your pants/up your back is awful.)

A flannel or other heavy shirt type

Third:

I have wantando jacket (70 from amazon) reeeealy warm. Hardly have worn it out and its been like 10-15 on the mountain. Id imagine I could wear it down to zero.

A lighter waterproof jacket incase the heavy jacket is too much.

Gloves: Get some nice waterproof insulated gloves and glove liners.

If you got all of those youd be fine an any resort park

So you guys suggests some pretty pricey gloves. I just bought some called Elma leather gloves on amazon and they are amazing!! They are actually really cheap, but they are nice and warm and fits quite good. They also have several colours. Though it's not wool. You should have a look.

I've got a pair of these I use when freezing my nuts off in the workshop, but I suspect they wont be stretchy enough to put over the top of some bike gloves, I guess you could cut the tips off and glue them on, a bit of a bodge I know.

There's a few music players that have a setting where you can use the volume keys to skip tracks, Player Pro for example supports this, as xN8x says, it's a function that's supported in Cyanogenmod roms, if you're confident enough to flash a new rom then CM7 will do the trick, or if you don't mind a few glitches (dependant on your phone) CM9 is coming along nicely.

You could always post a thread in /r/Android and see what other suggestions folks come up with, although expect a few downvotes while a load of pimply teens start shouting STFU n00b at their screens lol

my sister got me some of these which i absolutely love. they're warm, functional for touchscreens, look great, and they've held up through a few winters of heavy use so far. found myself checking the weather this morning wondering when it's going to get cold enough to justify wearing them

Rare to find somebody that has the same job and takes adderall just like I do. My best advice for you is to buy some gloves (cotton or something of that nature) and wear them under your latex gloves. It helps A LOT. I also wear a beanie for extra protection... I dont fuck around getting cold anymore its not worth it.

[This] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DZI14L8/ref=twister_B00DZI0ZUO?_encoding=UTF8&th=1&psc=1) is what I wear. I have two pairs that I alternate... doesn't have to be touchscreen capable but you get the point...

Also, L-Arginine will help anybody that gets cold hands and feet, or even a limp dick. Basicly It opens up your blood vessels so you gain circulation back to those areas being effected. Must have supplement if you take adderall, and you dont even need to take it everyday imo...

And also OP:

Make sure you are taking care of yourself better than you normally would while on these doses. Eat enough, Sleep enough, Stay hydrated, take a multi-vitamin, fish/krill oil, extra magnesium, protein bars and bananas (great if you cant eat). Drinking milk is also an easy way to get alot of nutrition in you.

When you take adderall your body is using up energy it has to make the drug work right, when there is no energy to give you just feel dead tired. I know, I take doses constantly above 150mg and food is a huge factor in how things turn out for me. a high protein diet is very helpful.

And when I say stay hydrated that doesn't mean only drinking water. Too much water will wash out your electrolytes making you feel like shit. Throw some pedialyte (has the most electrolytes) in there throughout the day or Powerade to replenish them. You may also need to eat something sugary since adderall has a tendency to fuck with your blood sugar... salt too... make sure your body has enough or you will feel fucked up. Hopefully this helps.

i grew up in what was, at one time, the coldest city in the contiguous US. i'm not sure if the area still holds that title, but i'll pass along a trick the locals use.

get a cheap pair of reasonably warm finger gloves that are thin enough to allow you the dexterity to operate the controls on your rifle.

also get a pair of warm lined buckskin mittens. what you'll do is put the gloves on, then the mittens, then put your hands in your pockets and take them out so that the mitten stays in the pocket and the glove stays on your hand, then when you're walking/moving/getting ready to shoot or whatever your hands won't get too hot, and when you're standing still, you can put your hands in your pockets which are now lined buckskin gloves to stay warm.

hunted coyotes regularly in -25F to -40F temperatures and never had cold hands.

North Face E-Tip Gloves

Great gloves that let you use any finger you want. Wait for Black Friday, as I got mine for like $10 last year. Definitely buying another pair this year!

I have these Wool Gloves and I love the. They fit great and keep them warm. Aesthetically they aren't for everyone but I like being slightly different than the pack or north-faced jacketed twenties-type.

Considering checking out the Dakine Men's Scout Gloves, they seem to have a nice winter shell and included liner glove. Seems like that might be close to what I'm looking for. Would love to find something that has a more lightweight shell though.

I'm obsessed with these:

Northstar Unisex Full Grain Deerskin Sherpa Lined Mitten, Tan, Full Fingered 51T https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FM7STPE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_qxoqybTXPNNDB

I have super short, stubby fingers and the small fits great. I live in Minneapolis and they kept my hands warm all winter long!

I have been a big fan of these:

The touch is not 100% accurate, but good enough for me last winter. If you want even warmer, they offer some with a fleece lining.

Yeah, but theyre not like latex/vinyl/nitrile gloves or heavy duty work gloves, theyre just like super basic, cold but not super cold weather gloves.

Something like these but probably no brand and $2 from target.

These combined with a a muff like this and hand warmers and I’ve hunted down to -10 F.

They are cheap and give you almost bare handed dexterity. For like 50 cents more a pair you can get ones that work with smart phones too.

These will do https://www.amazon.com/OZERO-Winter-Gloves-Coldproof-Glove/dp/B073191H74/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1543244385&sr=8-4&keywords=winter+gloves
