They must be around somewhere. I’ve been thinking I should start looking for replacements, because they’ll eventually wear out.<br /> Here’s what I have:<br /> 1. Favorites. Very simple, stretchy black yarn knit gloves that have little rubber bumps all over palms &amp; inside fingers so I can grip. </p> <p>2. Electric blue suede gloves, found at TK Maxx last year. Are near-perfect match to my new jacket. They are long and cover my wrists. I love them for being ott in an unobnoxious way, if that’s possible. </p> <p>3. lined, sorta stretchy leopard-print gloves with fluffy faux fur. </p> <p>4. Big navy mittens knit of yarn in a way that makes them super-thick and much warmer than most yarn mittens. I’ve had them since middle school. My son wears them. Sadly, they’re getting holes between thumb and palm, so must be replaced. </p> <p>5. Cream-colored mittens that match my cream winter hat, with fun fluffy faux fur on each. </p> <p>6. Black yarn gloves that have little caps I can button back or pull over my fingers to make mittens. Fun, good for using phone outside, but can be more fuss than I want to deal with. Decently warm because of 2 layers. </p> <p>I want to get some that have the metallic threads so I can use my phone with them on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-winter-glovesmitts%e2%80%a6/page/2#post-2248558 Tue, 18 Jan 2022 21:09:03 +0000 Sal 2248558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine are functional gloves only - mostly worn for early morning walking, rugby games etc...&nbsp; We have a shared basket and pull them out as needed.</p> <p>I do have a couple of pairs of fingerless merino gloves I occasionally wear as well - good on an icy morning at work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-winter-glovesmitts%e2%80%a6/page/2#post-2248543 Tue, 18 Jan 2022 20:00:03 +0000 Angie 2248543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought a red leather pair with cashmere linings in the Netherlands a few years ago.

Also, I like quick finger access for my phone and anything else I need to manipulate more carefully. I do have regular gloves but will try to phase them out over time, except for one texting pair that kind of fits okay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-winter-glovesmitts%e2%80%a6/page/2#post-2248495 Tue, 18 Jan 2022 14:36:42 +0000 madeline 2248495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugg gloves!

Most of my gloves are cashmere-lined leather. Because my hands are large, finding ones that fit is more important than the color, but I do have some beautiful colors (thank you, Nordstrom).&nbsp;</p> <p>My gloves that are NOT cashmere-lined leather are a pair of Nike gloves I bought years ago. They might be running gloves? I found them in a ski shop and bought them for cross-country skiing. They're stretchy and warm but not WARM warm -- they expect the person wearing them to be active and not need an extreme degree of warmth -- and are a men's size S/M (which is similar to an XL or sized 8.5 women's glove). I use them for walking the dog, shoveling the sidewalk, skiing, hiking, sledding, etc etc. Any cold-weather activity where dressy is not a priority, those gloves are with me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-winter-glovesmitts%e2%80%a6/page/2#post-2248451 Tue, 18 Jan 2022 02:53:22 +0000 Carla 2248451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The responses have been interesting, and reassuringly common sense.

I’m phasing black out, so I’m now looking to replace them with navy or camel, but this time, without touchscreen pads. Those toushscreen pads let the cold in, and I end up taking a glove off to text anyway. I would love to find green leather gloves with cashmere lining, but it seems to be the most elusive color of this glove type. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-winter-glovesmitts%e2%80%a6/page/2#post-2248417 Mon, 17 Jan 2022 21:11:44 +0000 Style Fan 2248417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My winter gloves/mittens must work for dog walking.&nbsp; That means the palm needs to be leather to hold the leash.&nbsp; I have a pair of black gloves with Thinsulate lining for warmer winter days, but I wear mittens once the real winter comes.<br />I have a pair of shearling mittens, leather fleece mittens and down mittens.&nbsp; I don't think about the colour, just how warm they are. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-winter-glovesmitts%e2%80%a6/page/2#post-2248415 Mon, 17 Jan 2022 21:01:52 +0000 Jules 2248415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I keep it minimal with one pair of cashmere blend lined leather gloves and one pair of gear "snow mitts".&nbsp;</p> <p>I came across these recently while checking out this website as a possible source of Canadian made, and thought the point about moose and dear hides&nbsp;staying more soft and supple in the cold was interesting, as well as being Ontario made, but it's hard to spend more than $40 or so items that get lost as easily as mittens and gloves! The snow mittens I buy also have features like wrist straps, which I usually forget to use, and little hook and eye (?) bits to attach them to each other which I do use.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.canadianoutdoorequipment.com/moose-and-deer-gauntlet-mitts.html">https://www.canadianoutdoorequ.....mitts.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-winter-glovesmitts%e2%80%a6/page/2#post-2248410 Mon, 17 Jan 2022 20:38:06 +0000 Suz 2248410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear both mittens and gloves. Even out here in the warmish wet coast, I sometimes need mitts for my long walks because I have Reynauld's.</p> <p>My mitts are not particularly stylish -- they are charcoal waterproof stuff with a warm soft flannel lining (as well as interior quilting of some kind) and they have a faux fur cuff, which is actually an irritant to me because it limits whether I can wear them over or under my coat cuff (only over) and I dislike not having that option.&nbsp;</p> <p>I also own multiple pairs of gloves. One very thin merino in navy that doubles as a liner (but they have developed a hole that may not be darn-able -- darn!!!!). One thicker red wool with leather palm. One black leather dress glove with lining. (I would prefer red or fuchsia but do not currently own a pair because I don't have enough dressy occasions to warrant the expense). One lined red knit. Two pairs of polypropolene "gear" gloves. One leather glove for biking in cold weather.&nbsp;</p> <p>In my dream world, I'd have a navy waterproof mitt, at least one dressy leather glove in a bright colour, and a couple more of the merino versions -- they are surprisingly good.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-winter-glovesmitts%e2%80%a6/page/2#post-2248407 Mon, 17 Jan 2022 20:24:12 +0000 Carla 2248407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here’s mine:</p> <p>-Drop snowboard mitts (shovelling snow, walks)<br />-Danier leather fleece lined mitts (long walks below -10 degC)<br />-Inexpensive (but warm) faux suede/knit combination gloves for temps around freezing (repurposed in spring as gardening gloves. &nbsp;The extra padding is welcomed when doing spade and shovel work and they are machine washable)<br />-black lined gloves (the lining is worn thin and these need replacing)<br />-merlot lined gloves (new in 2021) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-winter-glovesmitts%e2%80%a6#post-2248404 Mon, 17 Jan 2022 19:29:56 +0000 Cardiff girl 2248404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just love my cashmere fingerless gloves.l have four pairs and counting.One pair in every coat pocket!If it’s super cold l love my seasalt mittens which are fully fleece lined but l can’t really do anything in mittens so they are for cold walks rather than activities involving hands ,For gardening l have thermal gardening gloves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-winter-glovesmitts%e2%80%a6#post-2248394 Mon, 17 Jan 2022 17:06:46 +0000 JAileen 2248394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I lived at the North Pole, I would shop for ski gloves or mittens. &nbsp;I would go to REI, because they don’t mess around.</p> <p>I have a huge collection of gloves and mittens. &nbsp;I’ve been wearing these thinsulate gloves lately. &nbsp;They’re pretty warm, but bulky if you want to put them in your pocket or bag.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.amazon.com/Bruceriver-Ladies-Thinsulate-Size-XL/dp/B06WGW4TPV/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=3S0EBUHEK2NTU&amp;keywords=insulated%2Bwool%2Bgloves%2Bmen&amp;qid=1642438536&amp;rnid=2941120011&amp;s=apparel&amp;sprefix=Wool%2BGloves%2Binsu%2Caps%2C129&amp;sr=1-2-spons&amp;spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzUFM3RlBFNDFXRUFGJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwOTMxNzY5Uk5LMVg2VkoxT0lSJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTEwMDI5OTQxNlRPNEJLR05BTk9NJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1">https://www.amazon.com/Bruceri.....crid=3S0EB</a></p> <p>Here are my Norwegian style mittens that I knit about thirty years ago. &nbsp;After I knit them I felted them so they’re especially warm. &nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-winter-glovesmitts%e2%80%a6#post-2248391 Mon, 17 Jan 2022 16:34:45 +0000 LaPed 2248391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've pretty much given up on "fashion" mittens and gloves. I find I only get a season or two out of them before they pill, develop holes, or just start to look ratty. Or they're just not warm enough to begin with. I have two pairs of mittens -- one waterproof and insulated, one ragg wool with a soft sort of fleecy lining. And I have two pairs of gloves, which can both be worn alone or underneath the mitts to add extra warmth. The little navy blue polypropylene liner gloves are over a decade old, have been on countless backpacking trips, and get worn almost daily between October and April. They are pretty much indestructible! I'd love a backup pair but haven't been able to find them again. They are a somewhat smooth texture, rather than fuzzy, so they don't pill or stretch out. My other gloves are a pair of Outdoor Research fleece liner gloves with e-tips so I can use my phone without freezing. I've been pretty impressed with OR's e-tips. They work surprisingly well, and it's really nice to be able to take pictures without having to strip down to bare fingers! I like the fleece ones well enough that I may add another style (the green ones below) to be my designated "around town" gloves.&nbsp;</p> <p>The one thing I don't have but would really like is a pair of sheepskin mittens. From my experience with shearling insoles for boots, I know it can't be beat for warmth, and once waterproofed with Snowseal or another wax treatment, they're pretty much waterproof.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-winter-glovesmitts%e2%80%a6#post-2248382 Mon, 17 Jan 2022 14:38:02 +0000 The Cat 2248382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have one pair of mitts for very cold days.

I have mitts in boiled lambs wool with poly fleece lining for just walking about (they are huge and incredibly warm but I cannot drive or do anything in them). I keep a pair of fingerless alpaca gloves at my desk. I wear them for late nights on the computer or around the house if doing “dry” chores (laundry, vacuuming). I have a gear-ish pair from Costco that are used for driving/errands but they are more for keeping off wind. I have a pair of my dad’s old shearling gloves for firewood, snow shoveling, etc. </p> <p>None of them are fashionable.

I’ve found that so-called smart touch gloves are not always so effective and I just end up tearing them off in frustration. </p> <p>I really rely on these convertible mittens for my walks with a camera when I need to uncover and cover my fingers quickly. They look gear-ish but that is usually fine for my purposes. They are not super easy to find, though. My current most-worn pair is by Trail Heads. My favorite pair was by Isotoner but they are getting really worn out and it doesn’t look like they’re available anymore. They had little magnets to hold the flap back when you have the fingers exposed — some pairs have tiny buttons which looks like a PITA to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-winter-glovesmitts%e2%80%a6#post-2248368 Mon, 17 Jan 2022 12:48:19 +0000 Anonymous 2248368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My gloves are just fabric- probably poly or cotton blend, and they're supposedly ok for texting.

Hats and muff!</p> <p>I like the look of mitts, but the weather here is usually too wet for mitts to work. I prefer leather gloves, even in rain, and I currently have three pairs. Red, cognac and dusty purple. The red pair is the most versatile for my style, and hence the most frequently worn. I have already repaired them twice, and should probably start looking for a replacement pair soon.. </p>
