I have several pairs of hatch and eotac gloves...the problem is that none these keep my hands warm. All of the gloves I've found that keep my hands warm are too thick to get my finger though the trigger guard of my 1911. So what say ye????
As always Pics and Links are awesome |

Two options: some of our guys are running CamelBak Friction Fighter or Max Grips gloves.
The FFs are pretty thick all over while the MGs are fairly thick on the back but the fingers/palm have a lizard like skin; much thinner and my favorite shooting/tactical glove right now. Bad news: they seem to be discontinued. Good news: the PX here in Kandahar found a bunch of them in "the warehouse" and is dumping them for 1/2 price. |

i wear these basically everyday. i shoe horses and they take a beating, but save my hands and keep them warm if you are being moderately active (not a good glove for sitting in deer stand on being still in the cold, but as long as your doing a little bit of activity they are fine. today i ordered these today for my GHB and range use etc. etc., i like my regular mechanix gloves a lot but they are not tacti-cool like these new ones, like someone said the warmer the glove is the more use of your hand will be lost.
one more link mechanix tactical line they are also much cheaper than some of the other tactical brands |

Another good call...Mechanix Wears are pretty good gloves and inexpensive...you actually see quite a few of 'em in 'the hood'...only drawback is they're not FR. I do have a pair of MWs that I wear when working on our gear/equipment. correct, this is one draw back that i failed to mention. but for $35 you cant have it all. |
| If you want warm gloves on the cheap, grab a pair of mechanix gloves and grab another pair of mil-issue wool liners to wear underneath the outer gloves. I wore a pair of each through the latest "snow-pocalypse" and they were great, that was into the mid-20s and my hands felt perfect. |

I wear mechanix almost exclusively. They only last me about a month of hard use while deployed though before the fingers start popping holes in the tips. I really hate buying new sets every month, but ive pretty much resigned myself to the fact that I could spend $60 on gloves and replace them in two months, or spend $20 and have them shit the bed in one. |

As always Pics and Links are awesome I live in Alaska and am forced to wear gloves outside by my job. Take it from me, any gloves that actually keep your hands warm in extreme cold will be thick. |
alot of people dont like them but these
and these have alot of wear and tear since purchased and are holding up well 
Ill get some extremely used pictures up of these tonight, my first pair of Oakleys survived 4 months in Afghan which has been a personal record for gloves |
