I recently bought a pair of "The Vermonter" work gloves with the merino wool liners. First off, I am super impressed with the thickness and quality of the leather as well as the seam construction. These aren't the poor quality thin leather hardware store work gloves! I expect to get many many years of service from them. I did apply a coat of Neatsfoot oil to them while new to help seal, condition and soften the leather before use. I did wear them with the merino wool liners for a short time while shoveling some snow. But it didn't take long for my hands to freeze so I had to change gloves. My assumption... Because they are still new and not fully broke in, the gloves are still to tight. Tight gloves lead to frozen hands. Merino wool is one of the absolute best insulators as I have several pairs of Darn Tough Vermont merino wool socks and they are very warm. Once the gloves are fully broken in I'm sure I'll see a huge difference. The initial purchase price isn't cheap. But if a person spends $15-$20 for a pair of the cheaper, yet decent quality leather gloves, and goes through at least 4-5 pairs or more a year like I do. Then in the long run it's cheaper to buy "The Vermonter". Thank-you for making a quality glove that's truly built to last!
These gloves are the best. Bought two pair. Will buy more, not because they wear out but because I can use them for all different tasks. Made in VT so you know there isn’t anything better.
