Winter men's gloves
Signets are an indispensable practical accessory that is necessary in different situations, and especially for representatives of the strong half of humanity.
Even if you do not like to wear gloves, preferring to warm your hands in your pockets, there are still such moments in life when it is impossible to do without gloves. Just imagine a tritely simple situation: in a fierce winter, you go out of the store with a set of products in your hands and freeze your fingers. A familiar feeling? So maybe it's time to get gloves?
Models
When buying winter men's gloves, you should, first of all, decide for what purpose they are needed. For example, for sports, construction work, driving, for filming and so on. Or maybe you just want to look stylish and noble, do you need gloves for every day?
Here you will find a description of the various models of winter seals for men and learn how to choose them correctly.
Fingerless
Gloves with special holes look beautiful and stylish, where fingers enter and remain “naked”. They are usually worn when it is not very cold, or when performing work in which the sensitivity of the fingers is especially necessary.
For phone
Have you ever seen a person pressing the phone with his nose? It was very cold and he was wearing gloves? He simply could not press anything on the phone while wearing gloves, as the phone did not respond to the touch of his fingers. Alas, simple gloves do not transmit impulses from the fingers to the touchscreen, that is, to the touch glass. Long scientific developments were carried out on this problem in the world, and thin gloves for smartphones and iPhones were invented.
The model of these gloves does not stand out in any way, however, a thread is sewn into the gloves, which is sensitive to the fingers. The thread conducts impulses from the fingers to the touchscreen, and it, in turn, reacts to the touch of the fingers. In addition, these gloves are rubberized to prevent the phone from slipping out of your hands. Phone gloves make using smartphones and iPhones absolutely simple and convenient.
Woolen
If men need ordinary gloves for the winter just so that their hands do not freeze, you should not rely on leather ones. Leather gloves in severe weather may not warm your hands due to poor thermal insulation. Then knitted or woven wool gloves will perfectly warm your hands.
Woolen gloves are especially in demand among young guys and men who prefer a sporty or semi-sporty style.
And for little boys, woolen mittens with pile are better suited. They can safely go for a long time on the street or on a trip.
If we talk about knitwear, two-layer gloves will be warmer. In such gloves, it is not only beautiful, but also comfortable during a long stay in the cold.
But you are especially sensitive to the cold, and your fingers get cold all the same? World advanced technologies have stepped forward so much that they even came up with the idea of embedding a heating element in mittens, which is practically invisible. At the same time, it is convenient and comfortable, despite the built-in part. These heated gloves will keep warm for a long time in the most severe frost.
Suede
Do you like suede gloves? Yes, it is beautiful, stylish, noble, and to the touch - very pleasant soft and delicate skin. But do not forget that it is difficult to care for it, because it is not so easy to get rid of pollution. Illiterate dry cleaning will simply ruin them.
Of the advantages, it should be noted that the material itself is considered very durable, and many manufacturers of sports glove models use suede as the main and auxiliary material, for example, in the form of inserts for better grip.
Fleece
Gloves made of this material are widely used in sports, but not all of them are warm enough. There are insulated fleece models for everyday wear and for military service. For example, models with Thinsulate fleece insulation.
For stroller
For the winter, for men who have to walk with a baby in a stroller, mittens are an excellent option. You will not need to take everyday mittens or gloves with you, which you may then have to take off, put on, and take off again. Walking with a small capricious child!
The advantage of such mittens is that they are fastened with Velcro and fit any volume and size of the stroller handle. It is convenient and makes walking with the baby comfortable.
For photographer
It is very inconvenient to take photos and videos in severe frosty weather with ordinary gloves. Without them, hands get cold.For this reason, manufacturers have come up with special gloves for the photographer, in which it is possible to bare fingers. They do not need to be removed, and this saves a lot of time.
For such models, warm and soft materials are used. Inside, a silicone coating is applied, which does not allow fingers to slip. Fingers of gloves fasten on flypapers for convenience when working with the camera. There are carabiners for storage and carrying not on hands.
Sports
These special accessories can be very diverse, since there are a lot of sports. Now we will talk about gloves for those winter sports that can be associated with family winter holidays. More specifically, skiing.
Since skiing is done in frosty weather, sports models should be very warm. At the same time, they must be waterproof, must remove excess moisture and protect hands from wind and snow. To prevent snow from getting inside the gloves, they are sewn with wide cuffs. It is convenient when the gloves have carabiners so that you can hang them.
In shape, they come in the form of ordinary gloves, three-fingered gloves and mittens. Mittens are warmer, gloves are more comfortable. Three-fingered gloves are something in between. They are more comfortable to hold ski poles than mittens, but mittens are warmer. Comparing with conventional models, it is more convenient to hold sticks, of course, in ordinary ones, but three-fingered ones are much warmer.
High-quality ski gloves - three-layer. From the inside, mainly synthetic material is used that absorbs sweat and brings it out. Next comes the insulation, on top - a membrane waterproof fabric.
Recently, thinsulate is used for insulation - a material made of ultra-thin microfibers.The correct name for insulation lining is Thinsulate. An excellent choice for use with mittens and gloves when manual dexterity is critical. Gloves with Thinsulate insulation will be very warm in any frost, while they are not very large in volume.
When choosing ski gloves, you should consider how and where you will ski: on prepared slopes or not. If you are a fan of extreme driving, buy models with additional protection. In any case, you are a beginner or an extreme professional, you cannot do without them. Ski gloves should not only be insulated to keep your hands warm, but also protect them during falls.
for ATV
When learning to ride an ATV or a motorcycle, at first no one bothers what gloves to wear, and put on simple work gloves. But special models of gloves for an ATV or a motorcycle are a must. They must be durable, waterproof and breathable, insulated for winter. At the same time, they should be comfortable to hold the steering wheel.
Durable gloves for an ATV or motorcycle are light and thin Kevlar. Models with goat skin inserts, thanks to a special lining, do not get wet, but let the air through. Models with protectors on the joints protect the hands of extreme riders from emergency situations.
for snowmobile
Basically, snowmobile gloves, like motorcycle gloves, need to be durable and waterproof. But in order to feel comfortable in any harsh weather, even up to 40 degrees below zero, snowmobile gloves must be very warm. Manufacturers create insulation for them due to the high-quality fleece lining, which can be easily removed.With a removable lining, it’s easier in everyday life: I washed it and fastened it back, and you don’t need to wash all the gloves.
Distinctive characteristics of winter gloves are the use of cuffs, reinforced pads and straps on the wrists: for comfort and to avoid injury. Silicone inserts on gloves will help prevent slipping of fingers.
For hunting
Just as hunting is different, so are hunting gloves. The only general rule for all hunting gloves is the sensitivity of the fingers, because tactile sensations are very important for shooting.
Hunting gloves have slits on the thumb, index and middle fingers so that the fingers can be easily released. And so that the fingers of the glove do not interfere, they can be fixed with Velcro.
Shooting gloves are mainly made from neoprene, which is used in the outer layer. The peculiarity of this material is that the hands do not freeze even when wet - just wring them out without removing the gloves, and they are dry again. The back side uses materials that provide good grip. There are overlays on the fingers, except for the index.
There are also leather models for hunting with the use of artificial materials for inserts and overlays. Minus leather gloves: they are cold in a big frost, besides, they are quickly rubbed. . High-quality winter gloves can be supplied with a heater.
Riding
If you are involved in equestrian sports, then you can not do without special gloves. Riding gloves protect hands from all sorts of negative factors associated with equestrian sports: from rubbing, irritation, blisters.Equestrian gloves reduce the risk of injuries when falling, protect from dirt, moisture, horse sweat, weathering, sun and cold, and also have an aesthetic appeal.
Riding gloves are all-weather and winter. For all-season models, light cotton materials are used, in the winter version, reliable heaters are used. In addition, winter gloves are longer to keep your wrists warm.
A distinctive feature of these gloves is a special insert between the little finger and the ring finger, which prevents the reins from getting in while riding.
Riding gloves are the second skin of the athlete's hands, in which the hands should not be weathered, sweat or freeze. If they are uncomfortable and do not fit snugly, the rider will have difficulty feeling the bridle and will simply not be able to control the horse properly. Therefore, materials for tailoring equestrian gloves must be durable and wear-resistant.
Construction
When working on a construction site, all safety regulations must be observed. These rules apply not only to the observance of safety precautions, but also to construction equipment. Overalls and work gloves made of high-quality special materials will protect hands from contact with harmful substances, hot objects and micro-scratches.
For winter construction work, insulated mittens with fur are used - rubber and split leather.
Rubber models will protect your hands from dirt and toxic agents. Split - from sparks, splashes, ignition, burning. Therefore, wearing gloves reduces the risk of injury.
Construction gloves are designed for rough work. For fine work, assembly gloves with Velcro are required to keep the sensitivity of the fingertips.
