    Default I need REALLY warm gloves, and fast

    I'm going on a trip next Tuesday, and I need some really warm gloves. And when I say warm, I mean gloves that can keep my hands warm in 32 degrees F, or 0 degrees C, with 70 mph winds.

    So really, really warm. And they have to be available in Western Washington ( can order things, but not from out of country).

    Ideally, they wouldn't cost over $50, but I'm definitely willing to pay for gloves that meet my requirements.

    Thanks a lot,
    CR

    I think I saw on the discovery channel that they where two or three layers of gloves when they are out in the cold like that.

    I'd suggest visiting a Northface Store if you have one near you. Trendy and Overpriced? Sure, but the gloves will most likely get the job done.

    Pockets are not an option; the short story is that I'm going to be riding a motorcycle.

    And there's an REI near me.

    A large pair of rubber gloves over a slightly smaller pair of fluffy gloves?

    I'd go Check Out REI or Sportsman's Warehouse (thats assuming you're close to Spokane).

    I bought a pair of Ironclad Tundra Gloves, excellent for Outdoors work in the Winter. My problem with Ski Gloves is that they get moisture in them too easily, and aren't designed for when you have to be down on your hands and knees for extended periods of time. They run about 45.00$, but you might have to take em' off for a bit in 32 Degree Weather, since they're designed for temperatures as cold as -90F.

    Just don't go. I'm from South Texas, 50F is too cold for me, I would die in 32 I'm sure.

    You may be stronger than me, and if so, hit up most stores with outdoor equipment like for hiking and rock climbing. They usually have good quality stuff.

    Motorcycle gloves, made of leather, my dad gave me his when I went skiing, yes, at less than 0°C, touching the snow etc. and they worked quite fine. Might make a difference when you're holding your hands still but they weren't the warmest motorcycle gloves available either I think.

    agreed, my north face gore windstopper gloves are still going strong after nearly 12 years.

    I'm well prepared for cold weather in any situation. See if you can find me in these photos when I visited New York last Febuary.
