If gloves aren鈥檛 part of your everyday carry聽during the winter, you鈥檙e doing it all wrong. Even if you live in Florida, there will be a day when you need聽to change a tire in the cold. Here鈥檚 a list of our five favorite go-to models that will聽ensure you鈥檙e always prepared.
Gary Gloves Work Gloves and Sno-Seal Wax ($115)

Versatility is what counts here. You get an outer steerhide glove that can be worn by itself during the summer as well as a cozy wool liner for winter use. The leather is bombproof and will put up with frozen chains en route聽to the ski hill or chainsaw work once temperatures warm up. The wool stays toasty聽when wet and is also plenty durable. Bonus: when you order ,聽Gary includes聽a jar of Sno-Seal that you can rub on the exterior to make them significantly more water-resistant.
Give鈥檙 4 Season ($115)

This is not the first time聽we鈥檝e mentioned , and we keep coming back because they鈥檙e that good. The thick leather comes prewaxed, so they鈥檙e all set for days on the lift or backcountry missions. Thanks to 40 grams of Thinsulate insulation, they鈥檒l also keep your hands warm if you need to dig out of a ditch on your way down from the ski resort. We鈥檝e yet to try, but Give鈥檙 claims the gloves also do just fine while moving logs around in a campfire.
Hestra Samuel Deerskin/Wool ($135)

I鈥檓 currently test-driving a Nissan Titan that has a heated steering wheel. It might be my favorite upgrade ever. Once I return the truck, however, I鈥檒l return to using 聽on bitter mornings. They鈥檙e svelte and made from supple whitetail deer leather, so I have plenty of control when my hands are on the wheel. And while they seem thin, a plush wool lining keeps my hands warm even when it鈥檚 near or below freezing.
Astis The Yellowstone ($132)

If you live in Montana聽or Maine聽or anywhere else that鈥檚 supercold on a regular basis, 聽are your everyday gloves. The outer leather is injected with silicone during the tanning process, so they鈥檙e highly water-resistant聽right out of the gate. Inside, they鈥檙e stuffed with Polartec Thermal Pro High Loft insulation that鈥檚 not only lovely on your hands聽but will also keep everything warm, even if the thermostat聽dips toward zero. No doubt you鈥檒l also get comments on the custom beadwork that lines the back of each glove.
Flylow Maine Line Glove ($55)

The great glove-versus-mitten debate is solved with the . Three of your digits get to sit together creating extra warmth, but you still have a mobile thumb and pointer finger for added agility. As a result, the gloves are good for scraping frost off your car but also good for shredding pow in the backcountry. Made from聽pretreated, waterproof pigskin, they鈥檒l last for years and come with stylish聽Flylow colors on the back.
