RefrigiWear PolarForce Gloves, Insulated Work Glove, -30°F Comfort Rating

The gloves themselves are alright, but the "touch screen" material is a bit of a joke. My job is to scan overstock in the back room of a department store, and this includes frozen and dairy which I use these gloves for. I can get the touch screen to work if I press it at the perfect angle (you can't just press down with the center of the touchscreen material, doesn't work) but that perfect angle is inconsistent and only works sometimes then I have to find another 'perfect angle' on a different finger. Sometimes none of the fingers work, and i'm forced to take a glove off to pick out an item. I've even gotten fingers without the leather coating to work when the index finger and thumb wouldn't...Aside from that big gripe, as cold work gloves these work OK, the grip is alright and the insulation is mediocre. However, picking up cold boxes in freezer for awhile does eventually freeze your fingers even with gloves on so if you're working in such an environment for the whole day, recommend something else. Overall you probably wanna buy something else and probably for cheaper.

Let me start off by saying I have only been able to use them for one night of work in -30 weather. I will have to give it some time and I can upgrade my rating, the only thing I can say that I wasn’t expecting is just how thick they are and I do industrial x-ray in North Dakota currently and I do need some assemblance of dexterity and was concerned about the thickness but I was able to do what I needed to do with my equipment and these gloves. My hands in -30 which is what they are rated for were very warm not sweaty and I like them a lot. As I use them more I am sure that I will get used to the bulkiness but if I can hit the stop start button on my watch for my shot time and do the Kranks like they need to be then it’s all good my hands are happy and warm and that makes my overall mood better. I would recommend these gloves to anybody they are comfortable keep your hands warm at what they are rated for and I’m sure with me they will keep my hands warm iat may be as cold as 50 below. And within the next eight months or so I will most likely be buying a jacket from this company and some boots for this company for not only me but my girlfriend. I am a big guy 5‘9“ tall and 350 pounds and they carry sizes that will fit me unlike other brands that stop at 2X, This company goes all the way up to 5X and for less money than the bigger brand names I feel they make a good product and offer more choices for more people and that makes me happy as it is hard to find good stuff in my size.

So I work in a cold storage warehouse about 56hrs a week. I wanted to give an honest review of these gloves. But I will start with my initial impressions.ProsThey are warm there not as rigid as the -30 rated extreme gloves.The feel of these gloves are a lot like ski gloves they fit well and break in after a day or two of use.The insulation is mostly denser around the top of the glove giving extra padding.The Kevlar around the index finger is nice.And the index finger and thumb work ok with touch screens.Here's the nitty gritty about these gloves.Cons -The finger gripping bubbles you see in the product description started falling off after the first day of use after a week of use all but the pinky finger and palms remained.If you wrap a lit of pallets by hand on the go you will notice that the middle finger and four finger will eventually start to fray the gloves at the seems. After a week and a half of use this is already starting to happen. I think from a durability standpoint they should of added the Kevlar in butterfly sections around the joints of the fingers on these gloves.They are good for case picking so long as that's all your doing for the day because your hand may sweat from the work if your one of those guys that perform multiple roles like pallet picking stocking and case picking in the same session you run the risk of your hands freezing from the sweat wicking out of the glove. The durability of these gloves from my point of view is the biggest issue working in sub zero temps for 12 hrs+ a day they work. However honestly I think if I had a pair for each role say one just for case picking and another just for pallet picking they might work but they are hard to keep dry. And I really don't have time to switch them out constantly.Not to mention that for 49 dollars they are rather exspensive to only last a few weeks.To be honest after 3 years of freezer work I've found that the best thing that works for me is the MIT style for the steering hand and the finger style for the control hand. Yes it's mixed matched but it works the best from a control and safety standpoint.I don't have particularly sweaty hands but I work at a moderate pace with a goal of not breaking a sweat in the freezer makes for a ruff day... I'd say these were more like light duty gloves and not really good enough for heavy to moderatecase picking. Don't get me wrong I want to love these gloves but once they get moisture in them they loose their warmth quickly.

Trabajo en cuarto frío, los guantes no resisten por mucho tiempo y las manos empieza a congelarse después de 10 minutos. De momento los guantes han resistido el manejo de Pallets, aunque quizás no resistan por mucho tiempo, poco a poco se van deteriorando.

Not Very dexterous or much maneuverability so functionality as a gauntlet I may as well have mittens. Warm-ish in sub zero but you better have substantial liners if you want to stay warm. Once Temps drop below 0 these stayed in my pack and I wouldn't use them

Just one month after receiving them, they're falling apart. The leather missing on the index finger and the cuffs are ripping. They are not warm. I work in a -15 degree freezer, the gloves are rated to -30. About an hour in the freezer, my hands are so cold that they hurt.

Not as warm as I thought they would be but still pretty warm. I wear a size medium but all they had on here was extra large and they were a little on the big size but still fit decently. I thought I could use them to be used on my touch screen computer but that didn't work so thats disappointing. I work in a -10 degree freezer so I have to take them off when I need to touch the monitor but that's about it. But I like them.

My wife works in the refrigerators and freezers of a local grocery store. She says her hands stay so warm that her hands sometimes sweat.
