These are the most useful gloves I have ever owned

These are the most useful gloves I have ever owned. I've only had them for a week, but so far: 1. They've kept my hands perfectly warm with not the slightest trace of cold for up to 45 minutes in 20 degree (F) weather and 10-15 minutes in 8-10 degrees (got no longer trying)2. . I pulled them with a shovel, hammer, hammer, car ice scraper, handcart, sled, pulled buckets, loaded and unloaded the car, used a cordless drill and screwed in screws. No problem. They have a sure grip and more dexterity and dexterity than any leather ski glove or insulated work glove.3. In 18 degree weather I used them to get large chunks of ice out of a horse trough after breaking the 3-4 inch layer of ice on top with a sledgehammer. I didn't even feel the chill of ice or cold water. .4. They don't get wet from the inside with sweat, although I haven't worn them in temperatures above 40 degrees. Hands usually get cold quite quickly so these gloves were a joy to use. I do have other cold weather gloves though. I find myself saying I just reach for them every time I leave the house. It's surprising how warm they are considering they're actually quite thin and flexible. I was surprised by this as they look thick and inflexible in the product picture. gloves, such as For leather gloves, for example, I wear a medium-sized one, but for regular work gloves, a large one usually fits me. The size of this glove just fits perfectly. None of the fingers were too short or too long. They are relatively easy to put on and take off. Long cuffs cover the ends of the sleeves of various buttonless jackets. tight, too tight or too loose. I have not tried other gloves with nitrile or rubber insulation, so I have no comparison. But after putting them on I don't see why I should try other gloves. The only thing I don't like about them is the weird rubberized grip and texture. It's not as comfortable as wearing leather gloves. But then they are waterproof rubber gloves. It's a minor thing I'm happy to ignore as they are so warm and perfect in every other way. So far my gloves haven't been torn or punctured, but I haven't used them for anything really gross. I suspect if you use this to move rocks or concrete blocks they might break. I would wear different gloves for that. I also don't think they will withstand being scooped up by nails or screws. But it was okay to take one screw at a time and use them. I've ordered 2 pairs for friends and just ordered a 2nd pair for myself to keep in the car for emergencies. I think these are great gloves for emergency kits or bug bags.
