If you use this leash when the temperature is BELOW FREEZING what gloves do you use?

Keep it thin. For me, it all depends on whether it's a short or long walk, and whether I have just 1, or 2 or all 3 of my Dogs out. For just one or two of these leashes, I wear insulated leather gloves, for warmth. When I have all 3 leashes in hand, I prefer to go bare-handed, so I can maintain my dexterity -- which works for short walks. If it is really cold, or we're heading out for an hour in the field, I DO wear gloves for a 3-Dog walk (3 of these leashes), but I have to work harder at keeping them un-tangled. Thin gloves, like Gore-Tex, are a huge help then. If you have only one Dog, it's a piece of cake, and really any glove will do. I would advise to wear the thinnest gloves you can get that are warm enough for you, though, so you can manipulate the thumb-brake. Working the thumb brake is all you have to worry about with 1 Dog......if you have 3 big Retriever dogs like me, though, you find yourself playing "Mad Marionette Master" -- now, THAT makes life INTERESTING!!! So, I use my thinnest gloves for that in sub-freezing temps.

Even below freezing I like to keep my fingers free so I use wrist warmers ...

I've put my whole gloved hand in water while Ice Fishing and had no problems with being cold. I've shoveled snow with these in below freezing temperatures and my hands got sweaty

I have the steel cable and use it mostly for lifting my warn plow. I always use leather gloves when handling the cable. no problems.

I use them for fishing in the winter. I don't have much rope to pull on because I am trolling and my hands are rough to begin with. They would work if you have to pull on rope. Fast moving rope may burn through the glove, they are thin. The glove comes to the first knuckle.

I also use the standard orange cord. Works well. They do make a cold weather cord that is blue in color. Say it is much more flexible than the orange (also more expensive)

I would highly recommend these locks even in very cold climates. This particular one is on my husband's shop which is more open to the elements. No problem with icy weather. His only complaint is that he has to take his gloves off to punch the keys (I have no problem with gloves on).

We've had one of these for over a year--through the hottest of the summer and sub-freezing winter. I thought it would be unbearable in the winter. If you can hold your hands under cold running water then this is going to feel fine on your delicate parts!

Great dexterity and grip. Very warm as well. You just have to be careful as the gloves cut easily.

I have the same problem and find that fingerless gloves work better. Yes, fingertips can get cold, but they warm faster than whole hands.

I super love these. They are thin enough to go under all the gloves I wear and I love them. I live in Seattle so I should mention, I ride a bike and the coldest I will ride is around 30 degrees. So I can't speak to any tems below the 30 degree mark.

Just recently purchasing my alpha dog I have only used it a few times in the cold and did not have any problems. I always carry extra batteries for the caller and my decoy.

Sometimes you just can't use the gripper, you can use smaller potatoes or cut them down a little. What I think is easiest is just not use the gripper, I bought the safety gloves and they are remarkable, you just have to be careful.

I wish I could tell you. Mine are not super tight & it's been super cold where I am & I have found them to be good. Granted--on one case I did add hand warmers but it was 4-degrees & windy.

My guess is a good pair of wire cutters could do the job. The thing is I just think the leash is the best way to decrease the risk. I use the leash at least once a week and so far so good.

this will happen if your fingers are too cold. try to warm your hand first, or try a different finger
