What gloves for winter shooting and daily wear?

[Ninsho]

I bought some Underarmor coldgear gloves back for the Athol appleseed. I also used them for some defensive pistol work the weekend before that. They kept me warm for the whole day for the appleseed (I also used some fingerless gloves over them for the majority of the day as we were outside pretty much the whole day). I would highly recommend them, they felt like a second skin.

Is there a place in MA that sells this type of stuff? I think gloves are something I should try on before I buy them.

Dennis over at First Defense Firearms carries a lot of 5.11 stuff. He has a section of his store filled with all kinds of tactical gear including gloves.

I can't use latex examination gloves at work, riding the T etc.
They will think I am weird.

Going to take more than latex gloves to be "the weird guy" on the T

I have been using these 5.11 gloves. They are great all purpose driving, shooting gloves. I can actually get a credit card out of my wallet with these on. they are available many places. 5.11 makes a variety of these.

What about jogging/running gloves? Very thin, and will protect you from the wind.

I use EMS gloves. My regular mission gloves (Oakley/ Blackhawk) are too cold to wear when flying or going on an extended mission in the cold. You can fight in these gloves without losing dexterity or feeling. They provide minimal cut and fire resistance though.

Anyone have any experience with these? Is there a place in MA that sells this type of stuff? I think gloves are something I should try on before I buy them.

The 5.11 Praetorians (second link above) are warm enough and are built so you have feeling in your palms & fingers. You can use them as a winter duty glove but they look good enough for off-duty use.

Although you might think its crazy go to a place like Sears and check out the feel of mechanics gloves. As long as you can find a pair without goofy logos and Nascar colors.

Found an all black pair I used for our MOB and uptraining to go overseas...light and flexible and providing a half decent amount of protection. Held up ok but had to replace them finally after a small hole was burned in the palm from a hot M2 Barrel, but they did save me from getting burnt

Edit: Found the brand Mechpro
