Why We Love These Gloves
Carhartt is known for premium workwear, deals that end too fast, and the occasional cider. Its products always make good gifts, but shopping the brand takes some skill. For example, the bestselling knit beanie won’t arrive until after Christmas, its bestselling utility jacket is a bit much for casual gifting, and the bestselling T-shirt is something fans of the brand will already own. That’s why this pair of winter gloves is just right for the occasion.
The Carhartt Waterproof Insulated Knit Cuff Glove costs $33, and over 20,000 Amazon shoppers have bought a pair in the past month alone. Of Amazon’s bestselling men’s gloves and mittens, this pair is ranked No. 3, after a couple of lower-cost pairs that don’t have waterproofing or advanced insulation.

What Shoppers Should Know

This is a highly tactile glove made for gripping and use outside during the winter. A waterproof insert keeps water out, making snow exposure while snowblowing and snow shoveling a considerably less maddening experience. Plus, Carhartt knows you’re going to be using this product, so each glove has a smart but tough texture built into its polyester shell.
A couple of extra features for the glove included a comfortable extended fleece cuff that makes the transition from glove to jacket as seamless as possible, dispelling cold patches instantly. Likewise, an adjustable wrist strap creates a custom fit that locks cold out. You won’t need the airflow that a regular open cuff would provide, anyhow, as the glove already has a sweat-wicking lining.
Price-wise, these gloves normally run around $33. But at this time, the Tarmac Black color is currently showing a $3 discount. If you can wait until after Christmas for these, you'll be fine, but if they're supposed to be a gift, you'll want to order one of the other colors, as they're slated to arrive before Christmas.

The Carhartt Waterproof Insulated Knit Cuff Glove is $33 and one of the hardest-working gloves you'll see on Amazon right now. Just make sure to order accordingly if they're a gift.
