The best winter gloves are two pairs, actually (and one is hiding at Home Depot)
The Guardian••business
Key Points:
- The author recommends wearing two pairs of gloves—a thin wool liner inside and a flexible nitrile-coated work glove outside—as a superior alternative to bulky, insulated winter gloves for everyday cold weather use.
- The preferred combination is M Mcguire Gear Wool Nylon Blend Glove Inserts as the inner layer and ATG MaxiFlex Ultimate Work Gloves as the outer layer, providing warmth, dexterity, and durability for activities like bike commuting, outdoor work, and casual use.
- This duo allows for intricate hand tasks such as braking, shifting gears, and handling small objects without removing gloves, thanks to the nitrile palm's flexibility and grip, while the wool liner insulates even when damp.
- Although not fully waterproof, the gloves protect against most wet conditions
