These snowball-proof pairs will keep your mitts safe from anything the elements throw at 'em. Nitrile Hand Gloves
When it isn't winter, and we often—consciously or not—abide by one of Coco Chanel's most iconic quotes: "Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off." In the spring, summer, and fall, Coco is right; less often is in fact, more. But when it's below freezing and the strands of our hair are icicles, warmth is more. Pile it on. Scarves. Hats. Gloves. So, so many gloves. Winter gloves, to be exact.
So, when it's 32 degrees or below, please ignore Coco Chanel. Or if you are going to heed her credo, then let me be the first to say: Don't let the one thing you take off be the gloves. Anything but the gloves! I'd hazard a guess that a lot of you real manly men don't even consider slipping on some gloves until temperatures reach subarctic conditions. But taking the appropriate steps to stop your fingers from freezing isn't going to emasculate you. It's merely an acknowledgement that your fingers are freezing. Guys, it's fifteen degrees out and there's a blizzard. I'd be worried if your fingers weren't freezing. Put on the damn gloves. I can see you shivering from here.
You can get gloves of any kind, really; wool, cashmere, leather, cotton, and so on. Gloves for driving or gloves for texting or gloves for skiing or gloves for walking. The most important thing about your winter glove, though, is that it keeps your fingers warm. So before you leave the house in the coming seasons, look in the mirror and then add one thing: some winter gloves. Trust us, we've got you (and your fingertips) covered this winter.
