Best Winter Photography Gloves (alien.top)

It will soon be Bald Eagle season here and would like to get some good but not costing crazy amounts gloves.

In the winter I'll go out in -5c to -10c but when its getting towards the -10c side I don't last long as my hands get too cold.

Just wondering which brand and model people use.

I like https://www.theheatcompany.com/en-gb/gloves/heat-2-softshell for mild cold weather and https://www.theheatcompany.com/en-gb/gloves/shell with liners inside for really cold weather

I have the Heat 3 Smart -- basically the same as the Heat 2 but with fingers fully covered -- and it's plenty good enough for Canadian winters. They can handle -10C easily.

I'm all about the convertible mitten fingerless gloves. There are budget $15 options all the way up to $80.

Also you can get glove liners with touchscreen pads on the fingertips to either use as mild weather gloves or put inside the convertible gloves for a boost in really cold weather.

I have had good luck with this, it’s very thin

You might seriously consider Sailing Gloves.

They are designed for the unique situations in sailing so most fit close to securely pull sailing ropes/lines/sheets/halyard.

There’s many three & four finger sailing gloves (3-finger: thumb, index, second and 4-finger: also third fingertips exposed on glove) as well as winter close fittings gloves & fingerless mittens.

Oh never knew about them. That might be a cheaper option. Thanks

Until my dual core mid-2009 MBP actually fried in 2020... I didn't change computer up until now. Only upgrade I did back then was to max out the RAM and get an SSD in 2013. ahahah

Think you're confusing your threads. Unless you're wearing an old PC to warm your hands.

This is a tricky one - I bought "Vallerret" (first time hear of them) photographer gloves.. with opening finger tips and magnets in them. Even has a Norwegian flag on them, so totally legit. To be fully honest, worst spent 100eur.. at about 0 to -5 you're better bare hands.. as they somehow attract cold. I'm telling you - usable at +5 to 0.. but those are the temperatures I work without, below -5 I work with gloves on.

Ok so I won’t be getting them haha.

I do find my hands do get too hot in gloves. When snowboard I wear really thin ones but here when it’s -10c and windy my hands turn to ice as I’m not moving about.

Were they the Markhof Pro V3/V2 model, or something else? I was almost ready to pull the trigger on these bad boys but saw your comment.
