Why is it so hard to find durable insulated work gloves?

Golden Stag for just about any kind of gloves you need.

Best quality for a reasonable price.

I like #207 because they are double palm. Very durable.

The deerskin Thinsulate gloves look pretty appealing, and they have the knit fingerless gloves which I used to wear under my choppers mittens, but I haven't been able to find them for years. Yet how do you order them? I can find everything except an order form and/or vendor list.

With all this "HIGH TECHNOLOGY" that was never available decades ago, I can't understand how my father and grandfather still had all their fingers.

Check Amazon or just contact the owner through the website. I buy individual pairs or a couple pair at D&D Farm Supply in Seguin, Texas.

Down to the teens...I like cheap leather work gloves combined with a wool inner glove (the ones with the pebbled texture). After a day of working in them they come on and off 'as a unit' and are pretty warm and durable.

Rubber mechanics gloves under any leather gloves, hands stay dry and warm. We learned this from our local sawmill, works great.

Thanks for all of the input everyone. I did more reading and it seems pigskin is very durable so I've bought a few different pairs through Amazon to try out. These are the ones I already have, both have 100 gram Thinsulate.

I've abused these Tillman 1565 gloves already for one weekend of firewood cutting and handling and they are still perfect, just like new. Stayed warm too. Even after they had been wet they were still soft and pliable unlike how leather gets so I'm happy about that too.

I also picked up a couple pairs of these Steiner P241T gloves because they were an Amazon add-on item for only $5.60 per pair so how could I not try them?

I used to get heavy gloves from the local truck stop. Heavy leather with sheep's fur lining. Cost around $15. Warm and toasty up to 30 below. Haven't seen them in years though. I'm stuck like everyone else with the mediocre alternatives.

I buy the army surplus leather gloves with the separate wool liners. Usually get several sets so I can dry out some and wear another. If they wear thru they just interchange.
They aren't the warmest, but with a couple pairs of the liners they do ok.

That was same thought I had - those plain black leather ones with the wool liners weren't too bad & held up. Then there were the light tan rappelling ones that were even a bit tougher. I always heard them called and referred to those as horsehide but think they were just thicker leather than the standard black ones. Anyway, can probably find a lot of places unless Army doesn't issue those any longer.

I typically wore a pair of nomex flight gloves as liners then the black work gloves - that worked well but the wool liners were a little warmer IIRC.

Dunno about the rest of you guys, but I have enough trouble finding gloves that are big enough for just my hands, let alone an inner glove. Even XLs are pretty tight on me.
The cheap cotton or canvas ones fit, but aren't very warm.
