Help me keep my hands cold, looking for suggestions on gloves with waterproofing and

[Dhiler17]

This is a weird one, but I have an issue with running too hot. I am to the point now I wear spring gloves year round (Dakine Crossfire) to keep myself from overheating, but they don’t do the greatest job of keeping my hands dry. I would love something super thin with a softer liner on the inside (think 3L shell with fleece in it and no insulation) I haven’t been able to find anything. Give me some advice and suggestions. I’m open to anything. As long as my palms won’t be so sweaty.

Buy a liner /shell combo and wear the shell?

Have you tried a wool lined glove or even a straight wool. They will breath and stay warm (enough) when wet.

I have crazy good circulation as well, not at your crazy level and I have noticed if I keep my head cool and vent my upper body my hands won’t over heat. Just an idea.

Haven't used it, but was looking at these recently for a different use: https://skimo.co/camp-g-tech-dry-gloves

Review doesn't love their durability, but it's just one dude so who knows.

I'm similar and have been using Oakley Pilot MTB gloves for years.

I have a pair of the Free the Powder spring gloves. They seem nice but I haven’t had the chance to put them to use yet.

Sounds like you need something that pulls moisture off your skin and allows it to escape. Also, something with a cordura back that keeps your hands dry from snow or rain. I've been using Smartwool spring gloves for the past 2 seasons and they work well for me. Wool interior to pull moisture and cloth/cordura for breathability.

Several years ago I had a few pairs of Marmot spring gloves, back when they looked more like winter gloves and not the current gardening looking gloves, that were 1 size too big which allowed my hands to stay warm and dry. The slightly larger size was the ticket for helping the air flow, which kept my hands dry, and helped in keeping them warm.

Have not yet, but am worried they would get soaked too quickly, maybe I’ll give it a try

I take my helmet off a lot and that seems to help, but the most uncomfortable spot is my hands even with it off.

The smartwools look pretty close to what I have been after. How do the hold up? Are they soaked after a couple hours of heavy wet snow? (We don’t get many dry days here, it’s always wet and warm)

I wear the wool lined Hestera Army Leather. On the wettest of days I throw an over mitt shell on. My hands were pretty happy all last year once I made the switch. I had been wearing a standard fleece lined, thinsulate, waterproof glove but a day of a lot of gloves off and on and wet gave me frost nip.

Here is my best advise: think layers for your hands just like the rest of your outer wear and shop for pieces that will go together. Lined, mid, over glove.

I have some BD Arc gloves, thinnest gloves I could find with a waterproof (BD dry) membrane.

Haven’t used them yet but feel like a winter mtb glove, which could be another way for you to go.

Smartwool's website has the updated version (PhD) of the spring glove I'm using, but the description is essentially the same. I use liberal amounts of snow seal on the leather parts and have a second pair of gloves to swap out, if the gloves I'm using get too wet.

The newer version looks like it has a more water resistant back, which is an improvement from the gloves I'm using.

[GeezerSteve]

have you looked at ice climbing gloves?

[aragon]

Reading through, I would think that winter MTB gloves or XC-skiing gloves, both designed for some warmth during high output/heat activities, may be the ticket. Auclair makes some nice ones:

I have also had good luck with Eddie Bauer's "light" guide gloves:

Snowsealed full leather work gloves + liners work alright. They can wet out though. Or maybe I'm doing the snowseal wrong?

Waterproof, uninsulated, cloth lined... how about these? Dextrous as fuck.

i also run hot AF. On all but the coldest days, i skin up bare handed then put normal gloves on for the down.

[mattig]

I would kill to have this problem. Fuck me, maybe this is why my hands get cold.

Pretty much me too. I wear thin wool or fleece on the up, just to protect my hands from a fall or blisters from the poles.

Just checking in to say I hate all the people that have warm hands. Lucky bastards.

Kenetrek was kicks Obenaufs ass. I don’t like the way LP leaves the leather sticky. On boots it collects dirt.
