Signs are an indispensable practical accessory that is needed in different situations and especially to representatives of the strong half of humanity.
Even if you don’t like to wear gloves, preferring to warm your hands in your pockets, there are still moments in life when you can’t do without gloves. Just imagine a trite simple situation: go to the fierce winter from the store with a set of products in your hands, and freeze your fingers. Familiar feeling? So maybe it's time to get gloves?
Models
When buying winter men's gloves, you should, first of all, decide for what purposes they are needed. For example, for sports, construction work, driving vehicles, for filming and so on. Or maybe you just want to look stylish and noble, do you need gloves for every day?
Here you will find a description of various models of winter seals for men and learn how to choose them correctly.
No fingers
Beautifully and stylishly look gloves with special holes, which include the fingers and remain "naked." Usually they wear them when it is not very cold, or when performing work in which the sensitivity of the fingers is especially necessary.
For phone
Have you ever seen a man pressing his nose with a phone? Was it very cold and he was wearing gloves? He simply could not press anything on the phone in gloves, as the phone did not respond to the touch of fingers. Alas, simple gloves do not transmit impulses from the fingers to the touchscreen, that is, to the touch glass. Over this problem, there were many scientific developments in the world, and thin gloves for smartphones and iPhones were invented.
Outwardly, the model of these gloves does not stand out in any way, however, a thread sensitive to the fingers is sewn into the gloves. The thread conducts pulses from the fingers to the touchscreen, and it, in turn, responds to the touch of the fingers. In addition, these gloves are rubberized to avoid slipping from the hands of the phone. Phone gloves make using smartphones and iPhones absolutely simple and convenient.
Woolen
If you need ordinary gloves for men for the winter just so that your hands do not freeze, you should not hope for leather ones. Leather gloves in the harsh weather may not warm the hands because of poor insulation. Then perfectly knit or woven wool gloves will warm your hands.
Woolen gloves are especially in demand among young men and men who prefer a sporty or semi-sports style.
And for little boys woolen mittens with pile are better suited. They can safely go for a long time on the street or on a trip.
If we talk about knitwear, the two-layer gloves will be warmer. In such gloves it is not only beautiful, but also comfortable during a long stay in the cold.
But you are especially sensitive to cold, and your fingers freeze anyway? The world advanced technologies have stepped forward so much that they even invented embedding a heating element in mittens, which is practically invisible. It is convenient and comfortable, despite the built-in part. Such gloves with heating will keep warm for a long time in the most severe frost.
Suede
Do you like suede gloves? Yes, it is beautiful, stylish, noble, and to the touch - a very nice soft and delicate skin. But do not forget that it is difficult to care for her, because it is not so easy to get rid of pollution. Illiterate dry cleaning just spoil them.
Of the advantages, it should be noted that the material itself is considered to be very durable, and many manufacturers of sports models of gloves use suede as the main and auxiliary material, for example, in the form of inserts for better grip.
Fleece
Gloves made from such material are widely used in sports, but not everyone is warm enough. There are fleece-insulated models for everyday wear and for military service. For example, models with insulation on fleece Thinsulate.
For stroller
For the winter for men who have to walk with the baby in the stroller, an excellent option would be a muffler sleeve. You will not need to take everyday mittens or gloves, which then may have to be removed, put on and removed again. You walk with a little capricious child!
The advantage of such gloves - they are attached with velcro and fit any size and size of the handle of the stroller. This is convenient, and makes walking with the baby comfortable.
For the photographer
It is very inconvenient to take photos and videos in the harsh frosty weather in ordinary gloves. Without them - freeze hands. For this reason, manufacturers have come up with special gloves for the photographer, in which it is possible to bare fingers. They do not need to shoot, and it saves time.
For such models are used warm and soft materials. Inside, a silicone coating is applied that does not allow fingers to slide. Fingers of gloves fasten on flypapers for convenience during the work with the camera. There are carbines for storage and carrying not on hand.
Sports
These special accessories can be very diverse, since there are a lot of sports. Now we will talk about gloves for those winter sports that can be associated with a family winter holiday. More specifically, with skiing.
Since skiing in freezing weather, in sports models should be very warm. At the same time they must be waterproof, must remove excess moisture and protect hands from wind and snow. To prevent the snow from getting inside the gloves, they are sewn with wide cuffs. It is convenient when there are carbines on the gloves so that you can hang them.
In shape, they come in the form of ordinary gloves, three-toed gloves and mittens. It is warmer in mittens and more comfortable in gloves. Three-fingered gloves - something in between. It is more convenient to hold ski poles in them than in mittens, but mittens are warmer. Comparing with ordinary models, it is more convenient to keep the sticks, of course, in ordinary ones, but the three-fingered ones are much warmer.
High-quality ski gloves - three-layer. From the inside they use mostly synthetic material that absorbs sweat and takes it out. Next comes the insulation, on top - membrane waterproof fabric.
Recently, for insulant use tinsuleyt - a material of ultra-thin microfibers. The correct name of the lining for insulation - Thinsulate. An excellent choice for use in mittens and gloves, when sleight of hand is very important. Gloves with Thinsulate insulation will be very warm in any frost, while they are not very large in volume.
When choosing gloves for skiing, you should consider how and where you will be skiing: on prepared tracks or not. If you are a fan of extreme driving, buy models with extra protection. In any case, you are a beginner or an extreme professional, without them it is impossible. Ski gloves should not only be insulated to warm your hands, but also to protect them during falls.

But special models of gloves for the ATV or for the motorcycle are simply necessary. They must be durable, waterproof and breathable, for winter - warmed. At the same time they should be comfortable to hold the steering wheel.
Light and thin Kevlar gloves are considered to be durable gloves for a quad bike or for a motorcycle.Models with goat skin inserts due to the special lining do not get wet, but let the air through. Models with protectors on the joints protect the hands of lovers of extreme driving from emergencies.
For snowmobile
In fact, gloves for a snowmobile, as well as motorcycle gloves, must be durable and waterproof. But in order to feel comfortable in any severe weather, even up to 40 degrees of frost, gloves for a snowmobile should be very warm. Manufacturers create insulation for them due to high-quality fleece lining, which is easily removed. With a removable lining easier in everyday life: washed it and fastened back, and do not need to wash all gloves.
The distinguishing characteristics of winter gloves are the use of cuffs, reinforced linings and wrist straps: for comfort and to avoid injury. Silicone inserts on the gloves will help to prevent the fingers from sliding.
For hunting
As hunting is different, and gloves for hunting are varied. The only general rule for all hunting gloves is the sensitivity of the fingers, because tactile sensations are very important for shooting.
On hunting gloves there are slots on the thumb, index and middle fingers so that you can easily release your fingers. And so that the fingers of the gloves do not interfere, they can be fixed with a velcro.
Shooting gloves are mainly made from neoprene, which is used in the outer layer. The peculiarity of this material is that the hands do not freeze even when wet - just squeeze them without removing the gloves, and they are dry again. The back side uses materials that provide good adhesion. There are overlays on the fingers, except the index.
There are also leather models for hunting with the use of artificial materials for inserts and linings. Minus leather gloves: they are cold in the big frost, besides, they quickly wipe. . High-quality winter gloves can be equipped with insulation.
Riding
If you are engaged in equestrian sport, then you can not do without special gloves. Riding gloves protect hands from all sorts of negative factors associated with equestrian sports: from rubbing, irritation, the appearance of corns. Equestrian gloves reduce the risk of injury from falling, protect from dirt, moisture, horse sweat, weathering, sun and cold, and also carry aesthetic appeal.
Riding gloves are all-season and winter. For all-season models, lightweight cotton materials are used; in the winter version, reliable insulation materials are used. In addition, winter gloves are lengthened so that the wrists are warm.
A distinctive feature of these gloves is a special insert between the little finger and the ring finger, which prevents them from entering the halter during riding.
Riding gloves - the second skin of the hands of an athlete, in their hands should not be weathered, sweat or freeze. If they are uncomfortable, and they do not fit snugly, the rider will find it difficult to feel the bridle, and simply will not be able to manage the horse normally. Therefore, materials for tailoring gloves must be durable and durable.
Construction
Working at the construction site, must comply with all safety regulations. These rules apply not only to compliance with precautionary measures, but also to construction equipment. Overalls and working gloves from high-quality special materials will protect hands from contact with harmful substances, hot objects and micro-scratches.
For winter construction work, insulated fur mittens are used - rubber and spilk ones.
Rubber models will protect your hands from dirt and toxic products. Spilkovye - from sparks, splashes, ignition, burning. Therefore, working in mittens, the risk of injury is reduced.
Construction gloves are designed for rough work. To carry out delicate work, velcro mounting gloves are required to maintain fingertip sensitivity.

Very small sizes are 7.5 inches and 8 inches. For a small size, it is customary to attribute 8.5 inches, the English letter “S” will be indicated on the gloves. To medium and large size - 9 inches and 9.5 inches respectively. In the letter phrase “M” is medium, “L” is large.
When buying gloves without fitting, it is necessary to know the length of the palm, which is measured from the tip of the middle finger to the wrist, and the width - according to its girth in the area of the bones. The length of the middle finger itself is also needed. And do not forget about the fullness of the hand at the base of your hand!
