| My hands are always cold unless I have gloves on. I can't find any that will allow me to fill hay nets, open bottles, snaps, or any little things that fingers are needed for. Any recommendations please? |

 Am I really the Weirdo?

       Location: Kansas | Not really. I bought goatskin gloves last week at the local COOP and I can do everything but text with them on. They aren't super warm but they keep the chill off and hay doesn't stick to them. |

   Location: MI | I got some winter mitten/gloves , 3 fingered mittens? from State Line Tack quite a few years ago that I loved. My hands would always be warm, and having my pinky free left me to hold the reins the way I like, and gave my fingers a little more mobility. They were like these: http://www.onestopequineshop.com/Horze-Padded-3-Finger-Mittens_p_13... there is a waterproof pair too that I think I'm getting for Christmas. |

    Location: Smack Dab in the Middle | I've really liked the Cutting Horse gloves with Thinsulate (I think), and they actually make a pair small enough for my hands. They are my go to chore gloves.
I bought my first pair of Isotoners for this past weekend's single digits in Tulsa. They have a fleece type lining in them and are water resistant...$14 at Walmart. But they were really nice and I ended up wearing them most of the weekend instead of my leather gloves because I could saddle in them, and they had a lot of "feel" in them when I rode. And they were warm. I did have to take them off to put boots on my horse, because they did stick to the velcro, but that was my only problem all weekend. |

| Look at the ones on the Duluth website. They make clothes and accessories for working people. I love their ladies jeans. |

| Tip for you: buy a box of latex gloves and wear them under a pair of thinner gloves. Keeps your hands pretty warm and dry! |

       Location: Phoenix | I use the blue/white ones on the left. They aren't the warmest, but you won't freeze in them. Hay doesn't stick and somehow I can still text with them. Might depend on your phone though.http://www.ssroping.com/gloves/ |

   Location: SE Louisiana | Define "stuff"... I can think of lots of stuff I can do while wearing winter gloves... none of which include handling small things..
'Gore Tex/Thinsulate' are the best.. Thinsulate is the insulation used in space suits.. Gore Tex is the fabric invented that has a weave tight enough to repel a water molecule from the outside.. yet loose enough to allow water vapor/sweat molecules to wick their way outward from the skin.. |

I tried the rubber gloves, but it did not keep my hands warmer!
