Most men treat gloves as an afterthought and then spend three months being cold and annoyed about it. You grab whatever is nearest on the way out, it looks wrong with everything, and by February the lining has started to separate. We have been through enough pairs to know that thermal gloves are one of those categories where the gap between a good one and a bad one is enormous and almost entirely invisible in a product photo. What you are actually looking for is a glove that insulates properly without adding so much bulk that you lose all dexterity, and that looks considered rather than purely functional. Leather outers with thermal linings. Knitted options that actually block wind rather than just suggesting they might. We have also been paying attention to touchscreen compatibility because a glove you have to remove every thirty seconds is barely a glove at all. These are the ones worth buying before the temperature drops properly.
