What spring glove do I want?

[Bronco]

I use these for skinning, logging, wet SAR missions where leather will get slippery, bush wacking, changing a tire, shoveling stuff, etc. I usually change into a dry set of ski gloves for the decent if I'm touring.

PIP G-TEK Maxi Flex Endurance 34-845 Seamless Knit Coated Gloves - 3 pair for $14.80. They run true to size IMO. I prefer this particular model as the coating extends down the back of the hand and totally covers the fingers and knuckles.

I use the flylow db from like 25 degrees down to very cold. They are a pain in the ass if your hands get sweaty. You can’t get in or out unless you upsize and then it’s a little better. I use mechanix gloves for anything warmer then 25 or so. They are cheap and you can get all black and no padding normal looking gloves. I’m sure mtb gloves would be great too.

Ninja Ice gloves. If you know, you know.

I’ve been using these

Coating them with snow seal. Very light, cheep, pack well and dexterous AF.

Moto gloves work well in the spring as do the Mechanics. I've also used winter road cycling gloves like Pearl Izumi to xc ski.

I also do this: Older MTB gloves that are a little too worn for riding, or work gloves

Alternatively I've been using these quite a bit:

rubber + insulation + gator - it's like the golden trifecta

Consider a liner-less goat skin glove…maybe Kinco has something

Kinco 101. Deer skin driver with fabric back. They are nearly perfect for light glove duty but have one fatal flaw…

They bleed when wetted out and dye your hands yellow.

That’s why the Wells Lamont equivalent with Hydrhyde is better IMO

Been using these.

So comfortable I’ve been using them around the house and yard so need to grab another pair to keep in my ski gear.

Those look sweet. Tons of great suggestions, thanks. I think I'm going to try the unlined goatskin style and see how that works.

Good for birding too

Seems unnecessarily aggressive.

Nice work.

It looks like REI might have discontinued my favorite warm weather glove. I guess that’s why I haven’t seen them in the local store. They have a leather palm, soft shell back, no liner. Pure and simple.

If anyone has a pair I’ll buy em

I like using the Black Diamond Tour glove which looks very similar, albeit much more expensive.

[Ottime]

cheap leather gardening gloves. Like the ones Chupa linked. If they wet out on you just apply some leather balm to water proof.

[I've seen black diamonds!]

Hestra work gloves

Cheap and good.

FWIW, the uninsulated and not-at-all water resistant (based on my experience) work gloves I linked above are now on sale: $30 for 6 pair:
https://www.costco.com/wells-lamont-...100698771.html

Costco also has a part leather, part fabric Wells Lamont one on sale, that is supposedly water resistant. $40 for 6 pair:
https://www.costco.com/wells-lamont-...100697074.html

I'm ordering both. The uninsulated ones are nice work gloves, aside from spring ski use.

Stay away from cowhide for gloves that will get wet. Gets stiff when it gets wet and then dries. Pig, goat, deer all nice.

[XXX-er]

ever buddy is different, those rubberized gloves or work gloves in general are not warm enough & don't work for me

what works is taking 2 or 3 pair of gloves in the pack and changing them as needed

a good app for my clapped out lighter winter gloves

And where we each ski matters too - I assume you, in Canada, are in colder temps. I'm in Tahoe, where spring skiing gloves = abrasion resistance, not insulating warmth, because it's 40-50* F outside.

Yeah, I don't get it about people complaining that a spring glove isn't warm enough. If the glove isn't warm enough it's not spring, no matter what the calendar says. But then I'm in California too. Where it's pretty chilly this morning btw.

maybe my hands sweat and the glove gets cold

so do you also tell your wife she is full of shit if she sez she is cold ?

I would pay money to see that

I wear a thin mountain bike glove. Then when i climb a couloir, i add my goretex shell mittens, OR, otherwise my hands are frozen within a few minutes, even if it's very warm, because with an ice axe, i end up touching the snow.

Maybe try a thin light weight nordic glove. I use Kinco mechanics gloves mostly, but also have a very light weight pair of mixed climbing OR gloves in the rotation. Mostly I take 2 pairs of gloves, the spare glove is usually the glove that has slightly more insulation.

My Costco order arrived. The "hydrahyde" water resistant ones are really nice - not insulated, sturdy cloth back feels like it'll ventilate enough to not be sweaty, velcro closure on the back of the wrist. Fingertips are a little bulkier than the plain leather ones. Fit: the sizing on the hydrahyde feels more snug than the plain leather ones, but I expect they'll break in and fit fine.
