Default Keeping hands warm.

I usually wear a pair of blue nitril gloves that Farm and Fleet sells .
$3.50 for 35 gloves. Today I found that putting a second pair over the first pair really makes a difference on these cold days.
They are stretchy gloves and a lot tougher than latex.
They also come in three sizes. The extra large size is what I reccomend for medium sized hands.

What I found to work pretty well today was putting on a pair of latex disposable gloves, then on top of them putting on some thick padded gloves for winter weather. Then, when you need to sift through the dirt, you can remove one of the padded gloves and you have the latex on under it.

Today I stayed pretty warm. I put a pair of disposable latex gloves on, then on top of that put on some thick padded winter gloves. Then when I needed to sift with my hands i could just pull one of the thick gloves off and the latex was on and ready to go.

I hope this reply doesn't show up multiple times. My 3rd time trying to post.
I work with latex gloves. They make my hands sweat. My suggestion is to find some very thin cotton gloves, jerseys may be a little thick, then layer the nitril or latex over the top to trap the heat and wick the moisture away.
Sweaty hands and cold weather makes for a very cold feeling.

Boobie,
I know the things you are talking about. One brand is "Hot Hands". You can also get them for feet and larger ones to stuff in a pocket or front pocket on a sweatshirt. Can buy them in the sporting goods dept. at WalMart, Target, and just about anywhere else. Look for the camping supplies.

I truely wish I could give you a definitive answer. All I can say is that I found it somewhere on the internet, I have had it stored forever. Sorry.
I have a question in return, how does everyone get the quotes and detector models listed on the bottom of their posts?
