hitmanNo2 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Can anyone recommend any gloves that strike a decent balance between being warm and having enough dexterity to write with a pen? (touch screen compatible would be a bonus) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alxndrhll Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 My personal preference going from least warm and most dextrous to most warm and least dextrous would go (worth noting that as far as dexterity goes 'least dextrous' still gives a great range of movement): PIG Delta > PIG Alpha > Outdoor Research Ironsight Sensor Granted my opinion of warmth will vary from others.

DRay Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 If they are for wearing in the winter anything that isn’t a synthetic material. Suede/leather will always perform better when wet. And definitely priorise warm, cold fingers are fucking useless for changing the fire selector regardless of how dexterous the gloves are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad_ Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I quite like Nomex flight gloves, e.g.: https://www.military1st.co.uk/p20011-06-pentagon-long-cuff-pilot-gloves-olive.htmlhttps://www.military1st.co.uk/p20001-06-pentagon-short-cuff-pilot-gloves-olive.html They're not touchscreen compatible but they have great dexterity & seem ok in cold weather, although I've not used them in *really* cold weather. Writing while wearing them is no problem at all, can tie my bootlaces while wearing them and they don't interfere with gripping things & shooting etc. as other gloves I've tried do.

GAMBLE Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Hi @hitmanNo2! 👋 I have some gloves (not these particular ones but close enough!), which I have used since 2018. They are slowly showing battle scars! I have used them in all seasons and weather, have proven successful for the job. My own opinion and experience, hope this helps? 🤔👍 Check prices and location. 💷😷👍 (Mine are a different make and pattern, just a reference!) 💷GAMBLE💷 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaylordofwaargh Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Budget softer glory moment: I'm using gloves from a cheap costume from Halloween, or some old second hand leather viper's. Can't find link for either but they both do as you want but only cost £5.... @GAMBLE I might grab a set of those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAMBLE Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Hi @Jaylordofwaargh! 👋 Always good to mix it up with your loadout, as long as it works for you! 🤪👍 Cool, helping like minded players, up to you? 🔫😎👍 💷GAMBLE💷 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Lozart Posted January 28, 2021 Supporters Share Posted January 28, 2021 Mechanix Original Insulated. https://www.military1st.co.uk/mg-55-mechanix-wear-the-original-gloves-covert.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiA3smABhCjARIsAKtrg6LkYYriq13xBKe4sUJdWVF19LNyU0EwaHRt4wLv1qNDWGaxM-idJocaArs3EALw_wcB Decent warmth, plenty of dexterity. Not great in the wet though. Alternatively there's the T/S Element version which is wind and waterproof with a fleece lining. The trigger is uninsulated to give you plenty of dexterity https://www.military1st.co.uk/tsel-55-mechanix-wear-t-s-element-gloves-covert.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hitmanNo2 Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share Posted February 7, 2021 Thanks for the suggestions guys. I shall investigate. I've found my standard Mechanix gloves just don't cut it in low single digits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters TheFull9 Posted February 7, 2021 Supporters Share Posted February 7, 2021 I've got some sealskinz as well for these sorts of times, pretty old so I'm not sure they're TSC but I'm sure they do something now.. yep here: https://www.sealskinz.com/products/waterproof-all-weather-glove Had the older version of those for many years, hit the exact right balance I found. There is a PIG cold weather glove now too, not tried it yet but I'm sure they're good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
