Which Insulation Is Right for You?

When working outside in the cold and wet, you’re going to be at risk for frostbite or hypothermia and just being cold. So, you need to make sure you have the right pairs of gloves that will provide the warmth and dexterity you need to work in comfort. Here are a few tips to help you find the perfect gloves.

Fleece – Perhaps the most common, this is a lightweight option that is warmer than cotton/foam linings and still less bulky than other insulations.

Cotton Foam – Is a lightweight, economical option but it won’t provide the most warmth.

Pile – A thicker heavyweight synthetic wool material that is warm and a good value.

Thinsulate – A breathable and moisture-resistant insulator. Thinsulate is extremely effective at trapping air and keeping hands warm while allowing moisture to escape.
