Got two more for Christmas also, now have 8 total. Love the fit and moisture control but HATE how messed up they get when washed/dried.

Instructions say to dry them on low heat, but they come out looking horrible, with dozens of little lint pieces stuck tightly into the fabric.

Anyone know a way around this? Ruined one of my new pairs just yesterday in the dryer :(

So looking into Danner after reading this comment, only about 1/3 of their inventory is made in the USA. Now, they are super forward and say which products are made in the USA (typically these products will have a US flag stitched onto it).

I‘ve heard great things about Danner, but just wanted to comment this for anyone else reading.

They are having a decent sale right now and I am actually looking at buying a pair that are imported since the price is really good, as are the reviews and it might be worth the gamble.

Helly Hanson has a particular sailing style that puts some people off. I’ve had two HH parkas and they are amazing. They are pretty moderately priced. Worth looking at sales!

I just bought the Kinco 901’s (pigskin) from Amazon a week or so ago and used them last week to shovel snow when it was -10 degrees Fahrenheit out. Hands stayed warm throughout and like them so far. They are a bit stiff but should break in over time.

Definitely run big (I usually wear L for gloves…ordered both L and M and L was too big/long in the fingers so kept the M and sent L back). They come with a pack of Nikwax to water proof but also picked up some Sno Seal. Tried them both and preferred the Sno Seal. All in (gloves + Sno Seal) was around $50.

Also, buy everything you can from Costco They will actually honor the manufacturer warranty, even when the manufacturer tries to snake their way out of replacing your item.
