Winter gloves and lined gloves

For outdoor use in extreme cold, choose a lined glove with a nitrile or latex exterior that resists water and abrasion, combined with an insulating thermal lining.

For tasks that require more dexterity (assembly, handling tools), a thinner lined model with a good grip is still preferable to a very thick glove.

Models with a textured nitrile or latex coating (such as Ice Gripper) are designed specifically to keep their grip on wet or icy surfaces.

Check that the coating covers the palm and fingers, not just the back of the glove, for a reliable grip in winter conditions.

Because the lining adds thickness, it is often recommended to go one size up from your usual unlined work glove size.

A glove that is too tight reduces circulation and increases the risk of numbness in cold weather, while a glove that is too big hurts dexterity.
