I work in New England for a satellite installation company so I spend a conciderable part of my day outdoors in the elements. I've tried numerous brands & styles of gloves that offer warmth in 30-40 degree weather without sacrificing too much feeling and dexterity. These gloves keep my hands warm without being overheated and sweating and I can still pick up & thread 5/16 nuts and bolts while wearing them.
I've only had them for two weeks so I can't speak to their durability yet.
These are nice gloves for the price. I build decks outside all day long and these gloves are pretty good for the cold but under 40 degrees fahrenheit they don't insulate as well. Under 30 and they stand no chance and your fingertips will freeze.
They are nice to work in though. As many others have said, they're a little big for fine work (you're not going to be twisting wires with these), but for framing or something along those lines they're great. Grip is excellent and they've been pretty durable so far.
Well worth the $13 I paid for them.
I ordered these for my husband- we live in the mountains, and he works construction; so he needed gloves that would keep his hands warm without being too bulky to work in. They are actually SO warm that he has to take them off sometimes, when it's in the high 30's/ low 40's. But he loves them and they don't impair his dexterity at all. His boss was so impressed with them that he ordered 2 pair for himself! Great gloves for serious outdoor work in the cold!
Very comfortable. Very "grippy". I wouldn't call these "articulated" like some people make them out to be... but you can do quite a bit with them on the construction site... If you're framing a house or putting up basic trim in the cold weather, these fit the bill... if you're trying to do precision work, look elsewhere...
My friend started using gloves like these for motorcycling and said they worked fine and far cheaper than motorcycle gloves. They didn’t have my size at Ace so I purchased these and WOW. Love, love love these gloves. It’s fall here so wearing them I. The years, bycicling. Etc. So comfortable and warm. I’m telling everyone.
Update. Now using them SKIING in low 30’s. Best value gloves I’ve ever found (hands down..NPI lol)

Description
DeWalt 2-in-1 cold Weather System Thermal Work Glove.
I didn’t expect much but they sure delivered. They are comfortable on the hands the rubber makes for a great grip and it is waterproof. I used them not too long ago in the cold and these gloves kept my hands warm and dry in single digit temperatures. I’ve worn two pairs of gloves in cold weather before and these gloves remain flexible without feeling like you have two pairs of gloves on. If you have to work outside in the cold do your hands a favor and get these gloves.
Initial Review:
Pros:
Quality look and finish.
Double layer for warmth.
Synthetic wool-like liner keeps hands warm when wet.
Back of hand is coated just passed knuckles to keep out more water.
Foamy, porous coating should improve grip.
Cons:
Not as durable as Atlas Fit 300 or Therma Fit 451 natural rubber coating.
I compare these DeWalt gloves to the Memphis Safety Ninja Ice gloves as they are very similar and I love the Ninja Ice gloves because they offer pretty good dexterity and warmth even when wet like synthetic wool. I just received the DeWalt gloves today.
The DeWalt gloves seem well made, maybe slightly better than the Ninja Ice. They look nearly identical but the liner of the DeWalt seems bonded in the fingers whereas the Ninja Ice gloves liner is loose in the fingers and I sometimes have to massage them for best fit but I don't remember them being that way when new. The DeWalt has more of a porous, foamy coating on the palms and extends just passed the knuckles on the back to help keep water out. The Ninja gloves come with a smoother coating on the palms and just passed the fingernails on the back so water soaks in on the back of the fingers. The Ninja do make a fully dipped glove which I also have but full coating affects fit and dexterity.
I really like and hate these gloves. They are a perfect fit and very comfortable. Well insulated and the insulated liner is fully attached. (My previous, same style, gloves were wells lamont and the liner was only attached at the cuff. Pulled inside out everytime you removed them.)
THEY ARE NOT WATERPROOF!!
WTF Dewalt?
The rubber coating is porous and is for grip and abrasion protection only. Very disappointed(atleast the WL gloves were waterproof). I soaked em in a silicone waterproofing spray and so far that has done the trick.
Bought both pair of gloves, temp. out side 40 degrees both were lined I feel the Superior Winter Work Gloves - Fleece-Lined with Black PVC Palm for Tight Grip (Sub-Zero Temperatures) was a little thicker but a little tight. – Size Large and the Dewalt DPG737L Thermal Insulated Grip Glove 2 In 1 Design, Large a better fit and a little more flexible. I have cold hands and feel at 32 or below nether pair would keep my hands warm for only a few minutes.
Absolutely love these. I've been using the Chilly Grip gloves for years which are similar and have done well for me, but these blow them away.
Used them to put down mulch and edge my beds, pulling up pieces of sod, etc. Very warm, thicker, and a bit sturdier too.
They run just a touch large but no need to downsize from your regular size. Wash nicely, air dry.
