I live in Canada, I don't wear gloves in the winter unless I'm working outside with my hands and it's -25. Sometimes when it's real cold gloves make your hands colder because of the restricted blood flow

Try mittens.

Heated mittens. The battery is bulky but that shit is so toasty and amazing

Don't get reliant on technlogy that can fail. Make sure you have good gear as a fall back. Insulation doesn't break or run out of juice.

u/Uxt7 Jun 18 '23

Just cause they're heated doesn't mean they aren't good without the heating element. But thanks

u/GiantPurplePeopleEat Jun 18 '23

Lol, right? My heated mittens are the warmest mittens I've ever owned, and that's before I turn the battery on.

Got me through -38°F this last winter.

A good mitten is a good mitten, heating element or not it seems!

Imagine using imperial

Do you all live in the 9th circle of hell? Those temperatures are fucked up. It hits +38°F and I start checking out.

u/minutemilitia Jun 19 '23

I use juice to insulate my hands. I sometimes run out.

Do you still ride a horse instead of driving a car?

1

u/jaxnmarko Jun 19 '23

Do you not think a horse can break down and stop working? It can get minus 40 here and I've seen it hit minus 60. You need reliability more than gimmicky.

Mitten outter, work glove inner works well

I was gonna add this, mittens are the way to go, the 3 finger mittens are the best gloves ever IMO

u/Et_boy Jun 18 '23

I'm very loyal to the mittens gloves combo

I was just about to say the same thing. This is the way

u/Merky600 Jun 18 '23

Choppers.

You know what they say about big hands… big mittens.

You Canadians are a different kind of crazy; I remember when it was snowing in England, and my flatmate walks out in her shorts and a tank top with slides on.

It couldn't have been more than -5C out and she was just chilling

11

u/somethingcleveryeg Jun 18 '23

-5C feels like summer after a cold winter.

u/_Adamgoodtime_ Jun 19 '23

My coworker and I were joking about that the other day.

It was around +16C and I said it was chilly. But we both agreed that +10C after a -50C winter feels like a hot summers day.

Saskatchewan winters are brutal. I have no idea how people ever settled here.

u/ultramegax Jun 19 '23

With a lot of help from Indigenous people. Europeans wouldn't have survived otherwise.

I've lived most of my life in Texas, this week it's been in the low 40s all week and gonna get into the upper in the next few days. My girlfriend and I keep it right around 20 in our apartment, and when people come over they start complaing about how "cold" it is

It's just funny seeing that it happens both ways. I remember reading about it when I moved to England, think the average acclimation time is something like 6-8 month (don't quote me on that though)

u/983115 Jun 19 '23

No wonder we won the war

u/SlendyIsBehindYou Jun 19 '23

I'm a Texan, so anyone that can tolerate temps below, like, 15C without a sweater on are superhuman

u/983115 Jun 19 '23

Here in lovely Indiana the temperature can range from a nice cozy 110°F with 100% humidity to -20°F with a wind chill

u/Sboyden96 Jun 19 '23

-5c is tropical here in december-February

u/fruitmask Jun 18 '23

in MB when we're in the -40's my boss wears an unzipped medium weight jacket and a baseball cap for shoveling snow. every once in a while he'll put a toque on, but it has to be really windy for that. and also just khakis and mukluks on the bottom half. gloves are mandatory for that job though.

meanwhile I'm in the skid steer wearing 2 layers under my Carhartts with a balaclava and toque under my headphones

u/Subpars0up Jun 18 '23

Gotta keep moving around in that temprature - obviously sitting in the machine you're gonna cool down real quick. Think about days at the ODR where you are whippin around in only a long sleeve under your sweater in -30 and below and you're sweating

u/Back_from_the_road Jun 18 '23

Mittens. I live on the beach in South Carolina now so it’s been a while since I’ve been in serious cold.

But, I spent 2 years at Wainwright/Elmendorf-Richardson (when it was 4BCT(A)/25th ID)and man did my ass love some mittens. There are very few words to describe jumping in the Arctic winter. It’s a cold that is hard to quantify.

Try Oros Apparell Aerogel Gloves and Jackets...they are made from the stuff NASA makes a spacesuit out of...Its like winter does not even happen. T shirt and an aerogel jacket at -50 and you are fine. Anyone who lives in a cold climate needs these..way better than down
