21. Ski & Snow Gloves - Waterproof & Windproof Winter Snowboard Gloves for Men & Women for Cold Weather Skiing & Snowboarding - With Wrist Leashes, Nylon Shell, Thermal Insulation & Synthetic Leather Palm

    Features:
  • Winter-proof: Your hands have never met warmth and comfort like this. With thermal insulation fit for even the most extreme sub-zero temperatures, a waterproof and wind-resistant nylon shell that will keep you warm and dry when you go out into the elements, and a TPU breathable membrane that allows sweat and moisture to escape as you turn up the heat doing your favorite activities, we’ve got you covered, warm, and dry.
  • Built to Last: Crafted with a synthetic leather palm, a tough, reinforced all-nylon outer layer, and dual seams for extra strength and durability, our winter gloves will be there with you for as long as you can still shovel your own driveway or throw a snowball.
  • Get a Grip: Our snow gloves help you get a grip on winter. The double faced synthetic leather palm protects your hands against abrasions and increases your grip on your ski poles, shovel, or your snowmobile.
  • Activity-ready: Whether you’re heading to the mountains for a ski, snowboard, or snowmobile trip or you just need some extra warmth while you work outdoors or shovel snow, We’ve got you covered. Our winter gloves feature an adjustable buckle at the wrist and drawstring closure for extra protection to keep the snow out. While you have fun, we’re no-nonsense.

24. Women's Waterproof / Thinsulate Lined Ski Glove Black, Medium

    Features:
  • HOW DO THESE WINTER GLOVES FIT? These ski gloves fit true to size for most women. These gloves come in 2 different sizes, Medium and Large. The Medium size has an interior palm circumference of 8.5", the large size has an interior palm circumference size of 9". This amount of room transforms this snow glove for women and for young adults whose hands still fit within the 4.5” w x 7.5” l area.
  • THINSULATE TEMPERATURE RATING: These ski gloves come with 40 gram Thinsulate lining and are best for temperatures of 20 degrees Fahrenheit and up, making them the perfect weight for most regions in the United States with exception to those in extreme cold. Ski gloves for women or girls with 40 gram Thinsulate are thin enough to allow for great flexibility yet aren’t too hot – heavier weight Thinsulate is extremely warm and can lead to sweaty hands which isn’t ideal in cold weather.
  • ARE THESE WINTER GLOVES WATERPROOF? The quick answer is “yes”, but the more accurate answer is “yes, these winter gloves are waterproof under NORMAL use conditions”. Normal use conditions include playing in the snow, sledding, going to the store, all standard outdoor activities in the cold and snow. Feel good using your gloves outside and expect your hands to be warm and dry under these situations.
  • HOW DO YOU WASH / CARE FOR THESE WATEPROOF GLOVES? While hand washing is ideal, it’s not always practical. These gloves can go in the wash machine on delicate and be partially dried on delicate. We recommend NOT drying them fully and allow them to partially air dry. The exterior shell, liner, and filling are 100% polyester, and the Thinsulate is 65% Olefin/35% Polyester, but there is a synthetic waterproof shield between the shell and liner that could be compromised by extreme heat.
  • WHAT OTHER FEATURES DO THESE GLOVES HAVE? These gloves come with an adjustable wrist strap and elastic band that allows you to expand the opening of the glove to make it easier to get them on and off, while also keeping your hands warm and dry. Rubber Tech grip can be found on the palm and finger tips allowing for a sturdier construction and a better grip when handling items. The exterior of the gloves features a hook/slot function to connect the two gloves and keep them together.

You will die in those jackets. Literally.

Here's my winter setup.....

  1. Jeep cap. Keeps the sun out of your eyes and it keeps you warm. You can get them at Ragstock for 5$
  2. A pair of good winter gloves, and a pair of those cheap stretchy winter gloves. Wear the stretchy winter gloves underneath the thick winter gloves. A good tip on whether a pair of gloves are going to be warm, is if you hold a McDonald's cup of ice water tightly against them. If you can feel the cold cup, then they're no good. If you can't, then stay with them.
  3. Your legs will get cold too, so buy a pair of base layer pants. Maybe double up. Wear them underneath your regular pants.
  4. Get a good pair of snowpants to go over your regular pants. Again, McDonald's cup of ice water trick.
  5. Get a base layer shirt to go underneath your regular shirt.
  6. Get a good, thick jacket. Do the ice water thing for the jacket too. My personal favorite kind of jacket is an ice fishing jacket.
  7. Ski goggles. Sounds weird, but your eyes will get cold too.
  8. [A neoprene mask] (https://www.amazon.com/ZANheadgear-WNFM114H-Black-Neoprene-Half/dp/B000LVZVNE/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=neoprene+mask&qid=1573108443&sr=8-1) . They keep your face warm.
  9. 2 good pairs of wool socks. Yes, 2. It gets that cold.
  10. A thick pair of high top skateboard shoes, if you're going to avoid getting winter boots. High top Osiris shoes are good alternatives to winter boots. But you're going to have to get them waterproofed. They're naturally thick.
  11. Ice cleats.

Most people in the holiday inn we're housekeepers and lift ops. Everyone liked their job only heard bad things from one girl but she was a bit crazy. What size are you? I have 4 jackets in total but I don't use the Colombia jacket too often. I can let you borrow till you get one. It's pretty dam good on keeping me warm. Theirs a Goodwill that is walking distance and has tons of jackets and clothing for riding. If you do buy online I recommend Amazon. Here's my personal jacket and it's literally the best one I've ever owned hands down.

u/Cythreill · 2 pointsr/snowboarding

Hey! Thanks so much for your quick and extremely informative reply.

I'll definitely spend more time on my legs and on the exercise balls in the coming weeks.

You're right, they do have a board, boots, bindings, helmets and goggles, so the only things I need myself are... the rest of the things you mentioned.

Doing my shopping on Amazon rn (I'm kind of excited), mind if I ask for a bit more help?

Like, would a jacket like this be alright?

https://www.amazon.de/Ultrasport-Herren-Softshelljacke-Everest-Schwarz/dp/B00FXNI33A/ref=sr_1_2?s=sports&rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1484340550&sr=1-2&keywords=snowboardjacke&th=1&psc=1

And some of the snowboarding trousers have straps, are they really necessary?

Again, thanks!!

u/tyrankh11 · 5 pointsr/skiing

You'll probably be renting most of your ski gear, so here are the warm items you'll want:

  1. GLOVES. Since you're just going on vacation, get a moderately good pair that are waterproof, and buy some cheapo glove liners (example glove, example liner).
  2. Scarf. Thick scarf preferably.
  3. Balaclava (example here) - optional if your scarf is really good, but recommended.
  4. Overpants (wear underarmour and jeans underneath). First time I went, I went to target and got a pair for about $15. (example here)
  5. Beanie.

    Now my personal two most important, but expensive items:

  6. Socks! Go to rei and get yourself a pair of these ski socks. Nothing is worse than freakishly cold feet, or feet that get destroyed by the crappy rental books. These socks are built to keep your feed warm and padded.
  7. Jacket. Ok...here you can cheat a bit by layering. The 'real deal' would be to get something like this. OR, do what I did (and continue to do): underarmour + long sleeve shirt + sweater + rain jacket. Yeah, you don't have a good seal, and you'll end up getting snow on your clothes and be a bit cold by 2pm, but if you don't have hundreds of dollars for a ski jacket it's a good deal. Note: i've found that cheap ski jackets are garbage, and you will pay the price for them.

    Hope this helps! You can buy pretty much all this except for the jacket for under $100, and maybe even less if you're really thirfty. Helmet, boots, and skis should be taken care of by the rental folks.
u/toodistracted · 1 pointr/RandomActsOfChristmas

i dont know much about kid sizes since i am only a university student and dont have kids of my own, i would love to help you guys out this Christmas, if you can message me back telling me if the snow pants are okay for the triplets and what size is the correct one(i believe you said 5/6 but i want to make sure is the right size), i also saw they like science and as a science guy myself, i wanted to send them this science book, let me know if its a good idea and if they would like it

u/dieselphiend · 2 pointsr/trees

goodness gracious man. there's no need to take such drastic measures. just get a 3oz, flat bottle, and fill it with someone else's clean urine. buy hand warmers, the type hunters use. tape hand warmer to bottle, and find a pair of boxers that have a pocket like these -http://www.amazon.com/Hanes-Comfort-Boxer-Briefs-pairs/dp/B004NW4OGW/ref=sr_1_18?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1324471135&sr=1-18

Those are the exact boxers I use. They have a large, deep pocket from which nothing can fall out of. I often work all day with my urine bottle in the pocket and it never comes out, sometimes I'm even upside down...

Here's the hand warmers - http://www.amazon.com/Heat-Factory-Premium-Hand-Warmer/dp/B001F1ZFPS/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1324471251&sr=8-4

It's literally a no risk way to beat a work related drug test...

u/OpeSorryScuseMe · 1 pointr/Waterfowl

I've been extremely happy with these. Great grip, easy to shoot in, and as long as you keep the cuff above water level so they dont fill they have been completely waterproof for me. Comfortable and warm for Wisconsin hunts. Not bad on price either

u/CleverNameHere13 · 3 pointsr/ThriftStoreHauls

Found it on Amazon, so it's not old, but $25 is pretty good for a jacket that costs $130. Enjoy!

u/poilsoup2 · 1 pointr/snowboarding

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

u/ThePretzelRuns · 2 pointsr/uofmn

I agree with most of this information, but for all of the people from warm climates that will see this, the winters are absolutely manageable, and the way this person wrote the winter segment almost seems like a joke. Suggesting a windbreaker over a thick winter jacket? Perhaps just bad wording, but bad advice. Over-the-ear headphones as protective winter gear? You've got to be kidding.

But yes, if you don't dress for the weather, it's gonna suck. Coming from someone who grew up in upper midwest winters and comfortably biked through the winter for all four years at the U, here's what I think you should get to be comfortable:

  • A solid over-ear winter hat
  • 1-2 beanie winter hats (should cover your ears, good for layering, and you'll lose one)
  • An absolutely reliable, wind-blocking scarf, cold weather mask, or other face covering
  • Waterproof/windproof winter jacket (hood recommended)
  • A nice mid-layer (like a sweatshirt or fleece)
  • Long underwear/base layers (under armour, thermal leggings, etc)
  • Skiing gloves (waterproof/windproof-- get two pairs because you'll lose one)
  • Liner gloves (could be the crappy $2 ones from Target, but it doesn't hurt to spend a bit more)
  • Wool socks (multiple pairs-- they're comfy and functional)
  • Waterproof snowboots

    It's not hard to thrift for many of these items to get them cheap. Hit the thrift store before October to get your best selection-- heck, go this weekend!

    ​

    Also, after being directly connected with more students than I can count from classes and extracurriculars, I didn't know anyone who preferred using the Gopher Way. I wouldn't count on using it unless you want to add 10-30 minutes through isolated tunnels to your commute. It's far easier to reliably bundle up and walk straight to wherever you're going, as long as you can navigate the often-plowed snow (wheelchairs, crutches, and other mobility obstacles might be an exception).

Update: Sewing Scotch-Brite sponge cloth (http://www.amazon.com/Scotch-Brite-Sponge-Cloth-9055-2-Count/dp/B0043OYFVO) together worked very well along with a runner's cap for F3 and Fp2; the wires wrapped around very well to the back of the unit from under the cap. However, you have to turn the headset upside down for it to be comfortable. For M1, the other site I'm interested in, I will probably have to cut a hole in the runner's cap to string the wire through.

EDIT: This looks like a good running cap choice actually, as it has a hole in the back already so string wires through: http://www.amazon.com/Pearl-Izumi-Thermal-Skull-Black/dp/B0089DP0CS/ref=sr_1_4?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1376431311&sr=1-4&keywords=Pearl+Izumi+thermal

u/ny03 · 2 pointsr/CampingGear

I love my bugaboots. First pair lasted 9 years (of New England winters) wearing them almost daily for months, and I am on my second pair. If you are camping they are toasty with wool socks without overheating/over sweating. They also take crampons and snow shoes well. I have a wide foot and they also come in wide. I also like that they are not too bulky so fit under my snow pants or gaiters well.

For gloves I prefer 3 finger gloves. The warmth of mittens but with a bit more dexterity. Most are made to slide your index finger in with the other 3 when super cold. If you have the coin Hestra rock. https://www.amazon.com/Hestra-31462-XCR-3-Finger-Glove/dp/B00F1EZPCS

u/merkergirl · 5 pointsr/blogsnark

It doesn’t look super similar, but this is the coat I ended up going with. It doesn’t have that cute quilt pattern but it is a pretty pink color and it has kept me warm these past few days of freezing temps.

u/sfield86 · 2 pointsr/motorcycle

In the winters it gets down to the single digits often. Having good gear makes a huge difference, and it doesn't even have to be expensive.

I add a fleece neck warmer or scarf and if it's under 20 (or a long ride) I wear glove liners. Have ridden with this gear on a 1200 mile trip this winter across Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. Only thing I'd change about that trip is warmer boots and electric warming gloves.

u/minerva_qw · 1 pointr/vegan

Columbia makes some good warm coats, many of them synthetic. I just got this one and have been very happy with it so far. From your post history, I gather you're a dude, so something like this may be more to your liking?

u/Kandak_Sayaqa · 4 pointsr/AirForce

Your best bet is a real parka, not the APECS crap. The Air Force mostly uses the old model that dates back to Korea, the one with the big furry snorkel hood.

https://www.amazon.com/Military-Outdoor-Clothing-Previously-Issued/dp/B00GD7ZE4Q/ref=sr_1_3?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1479500995&sr=1-3&nodeID=7141123011&keywords=air+force+parka

The Army now uses the Extended Cold Weather Clothing System. The outer jacket is weighs less but is just as warm. It's authorized for wear in the Air Force, too. Some bases already issue them. I've been issued both, and imo the Army jacket is much more comfortable. It also has velcro for your name/branch/rank.

I had mine issued when I was on an Army deployment, but if you're willing to buy your own, you can find either jacket online with a casual google search.

u/KlimRous · 2 pointsr/femalefashionadvice

Glad to know you like the Whirlibird jacket so much! I ordered mine on Amazon for $120 and free shipping with Prime.

As for the Alpine Action Jacket, I ordered it from Sierra Trading Post for $116. I got it thinking it had the Omni-Heat technology when instead, it only has Omni technology. Apparently some of the Apline Action jackets (Mens & Kids) have it but the Women's doesn't. Strange that all but one variety of the jacket would have it but whatever.

Anyway, the Alpine Action jacket just arrived and unless I'm completely underwhelmed by the Whirlibird (which is schedule to arrive tomorrow), this one is going back. The biggest reason I dislike it is I don't think I could get a sweater or sweatshirt under it. It also feels VERY light and since it doesn't have the Omni-Heat lining & I can't layer up, I'm worried how warm it will be when it gets really cold here. It's only 40's (5's) here and it felt sufficiently warm but I don't know if that will still be the case when temperatures go below zero (below -17). It doesn't happen often here, but it happened enough last Winter that I want a jacket that can stand up to those cold temps! Also, because you were curious about the length, it came a few inches below my hips and this was a Size M. Once I the other jacket arrives, I'll report back. :)

Get a razor blade and clean up the base material on the edges of the gash.

Clean the area with base cleaner (you could use isopropyl alcohol in a pinch)

Get a p-tex stick like in the link, most ski/board shops that sell wax should also sell those.

Use a lighter to melt the end of the stick and let it drip into the hole until it's completely filled.

Let it cool off then clean up any p-tex that's over flowed with a razor and a fine grit sanding block if you have one.

Wax and ride.
