I used to work as a tech in the biotech industry where 12 to 16-hour shifts in 2-8°C (36-46°F) processing rooms are (were?) the norm. We required dexterity to operate keyboards/keypads (try that with PI Lobster gloves) and small control valves/switches and the nitrile-over- woolen-liner thing was

This is the first product I've seen that has potential for our rainy Pac NW Climate. Though temps here can drop as low as in Vermont during the winter, they don't stay there. Most gloves meant for "winter" use are too clammy for Portland use. OR makes an overmitt that can be used alone or with a he

I like the idea of turning an okay glove into a super glove (though I suppose you could just go ahead and buy super-gloves). These are hilarious, and I bet they work great. I might get some if I need to bump an RBW order up to $150 to get free shipping. Don't analyze the economic sense of that.
