I'm sure lots of people do this, but just in case:
Forget about spending $$$ on expensive cold weather gloves!
For years, like,40 years, I have been wearing cheap jersey gloves underneath a pair of cheap safety cuff gloves. They are about as good as I have ever had and if you buy bulk packs of both, they are about $6 a pair. If you haven't tried this, you really should.

How long do they last? Seems no matter what gloves I try they get the finger tips worn out from working firewood way quicker than I always think they should. I’d also like to see suggestions on warm waterproof gloves that aren’t real bulky and still allow you to work your fingers easily.

I know I am getting old. I never used to wear gloves...like ever. I could dip ice out the ice fishing holes and still have warm hands and fingers. Now I am looking for gloves as I walk out the door when it is in the 40-50s

Snowboarding pants? Kinda hard to work with those on your hands. |

For work and hunting I use moose hide chopper mitts with wool insert. If I need fine motor work I take them off as long as need. The moose hide is tough as nail and if your treat it them regularly they are waterproof in all but the most torrential downpours. I got mine from a shoe repair shop in Ely, MN that makes them by hand....surprisingly reasonable.

When I say I need waterproof gloves, they better be 100% waterproof. I'm working with not so clean water out in the field with no way to wash my hands.

If I was in your situation think nitrile undergloves would be required. The gloves I can think of are not well suited for working other than grabbing and holding. Insulated rubber gauntlets but I would guess your plant provides them. |

Your employer should be providing proper PPE especially with Hazardous conditions.

The setup I mentioned USUALLY lasts a long time, like no more than 2 pairs lasts me all winter and I handle as much firewood as anyone. I strongly recommend giving it a shot. |

Thats where Ive purchased moose skin mittens for riding on the snowmobile, also got my son a pair of Mukluks that he only wears while ice fishing or sitting on the deer stand. My son just moved his family back to Ely, he likes the wildness of living there, found himself a out in the sticks house. |

As soon as I saw the title I said to myself "brown jersey gloves" paired with your safety gloves I'll bet you're toasty! When I worked outside I wore brown jersey with another "grippy" glove over the top. Really good combo as well. Stay warm fellas! |

I keep a pair of jersey gloves in every jacket and several in my truck. I always have spares close by if one gets wet or develops a hole. Cheap and simple. If I lose one, no big lo$$.
I have a pair of rechargeable heated gloves for plowing snow with the ATV. They are great for that, but too bulky to do much of any work with.
