Wow they do look good, if they work then I'd definitely pay that for them. You say that to get the ultimate warmth you need three layers of material, what's the reason for the silk layer? Is it to control sweat?
I think the silk layer is used because it thats thin so it allows you to cram in another layer, it also evaporates moisture quickly. If you go on the Hestra site have a look at the liner gloves you can
They do look like they're amazing gloves. If those gloves don't keep my hands warm then I don't think it's possible other than having battery heated gloves. I'll have a good look at both them sites and read around the reviews.
Hi, the silk layer is for hygiene - easily washable/dryable. The guide glove is for high mountain use in the snow at below freezing temperatures so the only moisture will be your own sweat, there will be no water contact up there. Goretex is really the only way to go for a quality waterproof glove. Mitt or fingers is up to you - I used mitts in the cold, wet and snowy mountains and never regretted it.
I bought these Skytec Argon gloves from Amazon at less than £10 and while they don't last forever they are fairly warm. They will wear through around the base of your thumb and you have to grab the fingers when removing your hand to keep the liner in place. For the money I think they are great.
The Xtra ones are far better I've got pairs that are 2-3 years old
So you're telling us it's fine to jump into a barrel of freezing water and destroy your gentlemans bits but you have to wear some gloves to keep your pinkies warm ? ?
Of course, it is, my hands were warm today though no gloves on as it was 1c lovely and warm
For the money they are a great glove and I'm sure your average person will find them perfectly warm. For me they're ok until the temp drops below about 5c. They are definitely worth a try for the money though. Probably the best pair of gloves you can get below £10. I've found they're not good if it's cold and wet though. They're only good if it's cold. For cold and wet the Showa's are the better option.
Yeah I always wear nitriles underneath all my gloves, they never smell, don't think I've ever washed them and must have used them for 2 winters so far.
Fairly sure O have at least 1 flocked 45cm brush with 4 x 2mm jets. Will have a search if you want it / them
Yes....but I left all 100m of my hose out on frosty ground and some of the hose froze up even with a hot water system today!-9 outside at the time which is just too cold really so I nipped home for early lunch,put an oil filled radiator in the back to defrost the hose for 30 or so mins then finished my work in the afternoon(it was -3 by then).no issues whatsoever....
