If they don't need to be waterproof, polar fleece is great. Very warm and wind proof.

Thought about trying out latex gloves under tight knitted wool gloves, the static cold does not seem to be an issue, but the wind blowing the heat away. Of course latex gloves are a hassle.

>>2846976
Doesn't look particularly thin

>>2846981
Seems to be worth investigating further.. also those bastards are selling single gloves!

>>2846990
Leather always ends up too baggy around the fingers, even small sizes. Either that or they're too small for the rest of the hand.
>>
>>2846992
>too baggy
Did you want thin or form-fitting? Look in a cycling shop for form-fitting.

Nta but i dom’t recommend anyone buy cycling branded anything, usually jts marked up as fuck for no reason. Diving neoprene gloves are the same thing as most cycling gloves.

Or try those rubber dipped work gloves, they make winter ones.
>>
have you tried fingerless wool gloves?
>>
>>2846992
>Doesn't look particularly thin
Well... relatively. They are meant to be worn under waterproof ones.
If cold weather isn't that much of an issue, you can certainly find thinner ones made from other materials.

I use gloves like those until about 10 degrees and switch to heavier gloves beyond that for bicycle riding in winter

If you want light/thin, talk to the ULfags who don't brandwhore too hard about it. Skurka recommended SHOWA 282-02 with your choice of liner. I ordered a pair; durable, waterproof, grippy, thin enough to feel things well; almost like they were meant for holding on to a pissed off crab in a winter storm.

What do you think the function of those wool gloves is?

If I expect my hands to get wet handling wet stuff, I wear these over regular warm gloves. Works perfectly, it's like a cheat.

Providing a barrier.

That works but is weird for normal use.

My all around gloves are some thinsulates like your pic. I keep them in the side compartment in my truck ironically the glove compartment is full of flatter things.

But the best thing for the environment that you should be packing is a thick or thin base layer glove, synthetic is fine wool if you have the money. And then an outer layer for what you are doing. Goretex mitten if you are skiing, cheap leather glove for work, ect.

The fuck. You're gonna sweat under the gloves and freeze at the same time because the wind will blow away warm air from the gloves. Ridiculous. Get windproof gloves and wear wool liners below, that's how it's done.

These were nice and light for my PCT LASH, waterproof and windproof for late spring sierra / cold and rainy
they don't breath at all but they aren't warm enough to make you sweat unless its warm enough to not need them anyways

>>2847139
Oh yea, these

I'm small so my hands don't get cold easily because the blood/warmth doesn't have to travel as far to the ends of my fingertips. Same goes for feet, no socks in winter.
I always noticed that I quite liked the cold compared to others around me and then somebody pointed this out. I spent my 20s only wearing hoodies on bitter cold days but now I've decided to start wearing padded jackets because being warmer takes less energy.

if you want to play make believe online try /soc/ instead

Go be a fag somewhere else, dude bro. If gloves get you this riled up you are unstable and stinky
>>
>>2846972
i have grown to like lined neoprene gloves, particularly the ice bay glacier gloves. water proof, durable, grippy, and warm. they stay warm when the inside is wet but you will certainly get stinky gloves and prune fingers if you wear them for a while. they have also nearly doubled in price and they no longer have a velcro band for your wrist.
>>
I use a pair of poly under gloves, the kind cyclists often get, because they avoid moisture getting trapped in your gloves. Damp gloves don't insulate shit.

Then options:
There are these cheap gardening gloves for fruit pickers, ag workers, which are elastic and full of insulation so they fit really well. Water resistant but not strictly water proof. There are wool mittens, which aren't water proof but perform fairly well when wet, so if it's likely you can't avoid water, that's a consideration. Thick poly gloves like wetsuit gloves are probably better overall, i have some for sailing, then there are ski gloves, which should have removable liners.

Found these on a bike trail. They are my idea shittly done: wetsuit material (neoprene) but too thin. And like some are saying, sweat is a problem. I put some mickey mouse cotton gloves as liners, but somehow colder than cotton alone. Gonna end up making mittens put of ace back support brace....like mfers are playing piano in winter weather......WHERE THE FUCK ARE ALL THE MITTENS?

I did some research, and apparently those weird fucks up north use a mesh base layer. Maybe that plus latex over it solves the problem? The mesh should wick the moisture away, while the holes provide air isolation. The latex traps the air. All still very thin. Just needs some ultra-thin layer over this so it doesn't look like I work at Subways.

Thats outdoor guy who's wife just got sick, that was the subject of his last vid. Someone finally had my idea. It doesn't wick shit. Its all about boundary layer. And windproof layer off the skin just traps air. Mesh allows that. Those polyester vapor protocol gauze coveralls they use in hospitals will boil your alive, but the are virtually nothing. Its also a other layer on scrubs. So just another layer, any layer, has air sticking to it as a fluid. All insulation is about trapping air (or a vacuum).
