jackandjill 683 Posted March 28, 2017 I like to get some real warm gloves or mittens as gift. Any advice on material or place to buy from ? Prefer US made and definitely not the Made-In-China Uggs. Appreciate it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T Bill 649 Posted March 28, 2017 As for what brand I pass, just that mittens are warmer than gloves because all the fingers are together, more heat retention, less exposure to elements. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob0115 1,105 Posted March 28, 2017 Canada goose. Not US made maybe Canadian but possibly outsourced. I have two of their coats and a set of gloves. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AVB-AMG 530 Posted April 2, 2017 If warmth is the driving factor in the choice, as opposed to fashion, then you may want to consider gloves or mittens produced by Apocalypse Design of Fairbanks, Alaska. They are rather big and clunky, and rather expensive, but my wife who constantly complains of cold hands even in the warmer months, absolutely loves the mittens I purchased for her from Apocalypse Design.I bought her a pair of the Musher Mitts to wear when we go to watch Buffalo Bills football games at Ralph Wilson Stadium up in Orchard Park, NY in December, (Don't ask....its a masochist thing....)Also, they are made in America (Alaska). Here is a link to the Gloves/Mittens section of their web site:http://akgear.com/product-category/clothing/gloves-mittens/ AVB-AMG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob0115 1,105 Posted April 2, 2017 Have you ever used any of their closthing? I could use a new cold weather parka for Giants games. The prices are not terrible if the gear is warm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AVB-AMG 530 Posted April 2, 2017 I have not but a friend of mine has. I find that I get too warm and start to perspire when wearing a really warm coat/overcoat. Therefore in the winter months I prefer to dress in lighter insulating layers that I can remove if and when necessary, all under a wind/rain resistant shell. But the quality of Apocalypse Design clothing is top notch from what I have seen with my limited exposure and not as expensive as Canada Goose parkas.

Rob0115 1,105 Posted April 2, 2017 Much better pricing than Canada goose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
