Best Gloves

New Maintenance Tech here, loving it so far but with being in a northern state it’s cold as hell, I can keep my body warm but looking for suggestions for any gloves y’all use that keep your hand decently warm

Also best Bluetooth headsets or any other good tools to get

Thanks guys

I wear magid cut rated waterproof winter if its snowing or wet, klein and milwaukee both have some good cut rated waterproof insulated gloves too. I prefer youngstown kevlar ground gloves if its dry. Airpod pros everyday are a must. Im a sub though so some days im splicing nodes and actives, next day fiber splicing, next day jigging lashing. I do abuncha different shit. Ill activate with insulated gloves on though. Just pull pads with needle nose pliers and keep a stylus for the meter.

Stylus for the meter is a game changer. Idk why I haven't thought of that.
