I was wondering what is the best gloves to get. I do a lot of wood splitting/cutting and of course shoveling snow. I have heard of the Thinsulate stuff. We have Gander Mountian and Murdocks here. TIA.

I keep several (half dozen or more) pairs of the cheap fuzzy yellow gloves. They're loose enough to allow circulation, and warm as toast, AS LONG AS THEY'RE DRY!

Get 'em wet, and yer all done. Hence the mulitple pairs. There's usually 2-3 pair drying by the wood stove, and I exchange them as necessary.

Like everybody said, if dexterity isn't an issue, mittens are the best.

Having worked in the cold for decades, here's a few ideas.

The best glove I ever found was a US military model that is a wool glove with a leather glove or mitten as on overglove. Works great.

Second to that is the same thing in a commercial model with a mitten and a flap opening for the fingers to be used if you need to.

A new idea I heard about was this strap thing you wrap around your wrist that has some sort of heat crystals in it when you shake it. People say it does indeed work and keep your hands warm because it warms the blood going that direction.
Since the need here is for splitting firewood, I would split the wood when it's warm out and negate the need for gloves. Worked for me.

Make sure you get a pair that fit somewhat loosely. You don't want em snug or you'll slow down the circulation to your fingers. You won't be as nimble with your fingertips, but they won't be nimble when they're frozen either. Same with boots. Oh, and sometimes I like to wear latex or vinyl gloves under my regular gloves if I know I'm gonna get wet.

I work outside in construction, and found a product called "Hot Hands". Sold at most farm stores, they come 2 in a pouch. Looks like a small tobacco bag. Shake well, then keep them in the palms of your hands, inside your gloves. When your fingers get cold, pull them back and squeeze the hot hands for a while. Good for 8 to 10 hours.

I use a pair of Jersey gloves inside a pair of decent leather gloves. Been using this for years and it really works good for me and my wife. They last a long time. Might not be good way up north, I'm in Ks.

What I did was just buy a decant pair of insulated leather gloves at the hardware,but then I made sure I wasn't careful around the used oil,so they are real good and supple and pretty much water proof.

I been wondering the same thing. I was trying to remember how my granddad kept his hands warm when he was my age. Got to thinking and remembered he didn't. He died before he got to my age. What I do remember when we were picking corn in the winter that he wore a pair of the yellow fuzzy gloves like you can buy now and wore a pair of large white canvas mitten's with stripes over the yellow ones. I guess the layer concept.
I have a pair of snowmobile gloves that work only so long in real cold but better than anything else I have found.

Not gloves...get mittens. Gloves will not warm your fingers well. Mittens are the only way to go in super cold weather. Thinsulate is good but it is a question of how much thinsulate each glove/mitten have in them. Minnesota invented mittens....google Minnesota Choppers.

Correction...Minnesota choppers will bring up a bunch of motorcycles...google chopper mittens. I use snow mobile mittens and they do work. Really cold weather, wear wool gloves inside the mittens. Mittens might not give you the dexterity you need but they'll keep your fingers warm.
