Running a \u201cmen\u2019s lifestyle\u201d website means that sometimes companies send you unsolicited products for potential review or promotion.<\/p>\n

Most of the stuff I get sent ends up on the prize table at the McKays\u2019 annual Christmas party.<\/p>\n

But every now and then, I get sent a product that I end up using regularly.<\/p>\n

That happened in 2016. Give’r Gloves sent me a pair of their 4-Season Gloves with my initials branded on them. I was immediately impressed with their construction and comfort. They\u2019re super heavy-duty but really, really comfortable. In the spring, I started using them to do backyard chores like clearing brush (we have a little patch of \u201cwoods\u201d out back). When winter rolled around, I wore them during cold weather excursions or while building fires in our family\u2019s secret backyard fire pit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I was so impressed with the gloves that I emailed the guys at Huckberry<\/a>, telling them, \u201cYou gotta carry these things! They\u2019re amazing.\u201d And they did. The Give’r 4-Season Glove<\/a> continues to be a bestseller for HB.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m going on six years with my Give’r 4-Season Gloves, and they\u2019re still going strong. In fact, they\u2019ve only gotten more comfortable over the years as the leather has broken in. They\u2019ve also developed a nice-looking patina. What man doesn\u2019t like donning something with a good patina?<\/p>\n

Why the Give\u2019r 4-Season Glove Will Be the Last Pair of Gloves You\u2019ll Ever Need<\/h2>\n

The Give\u2019r 4-Season Glove<\/a> is an all-around workhorse, and may become the last glove you\u2019ll ever need to buy. Here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n

They\u2019re durable.<\/strong> The Give\u2019r 4-Season Glove has a reinforced, all-leather cowhide exterior which makes them extremely durable. You can pick up burning logs with these bad boys.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve used mine regularly for five years, and there\u2019s no sign of wear and tear.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re waterproof.<\/strong> Beneath the leather exterior, there\u2019s a waterproof membrane. You can work in the snow and rain, form the perfect snowball<\/a>, or wear these babies skiing, and your hands will remain nice and dry. The exterior of the gloves also has a wax coating, adding to their water resistance.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re warm.<\/strong> The 4-Season Glove is insulated with Thinsulate, providing 1.5X the warmth of down. They\u2019ve been field-tested in subzero temperatures and proven to keep hands nice and toasty.<\/p>\n

You can use them all year.<\/strong> While the 4-Season Glove has been crafted to withstand cold weather extremes, as its name suggests, you can use them all year. I\u2019ve worn them during the sweltering summers here in Oklahoma for outdoor work, and they\u2019re comfortable. My hands don\u2019t get overly hot or sweaty.<\/p>\n

They look good.<\/strong> I\u2019m definitely a function over form kind of guy, but I appreciate when something functional looks good to boot. And the 4-Season Glove certainly does. They look like the type of glove a rancher out in the panhandle of Oklahoma would have on the bench seat of his beat-up pick-up truck. And the waxed leather will take on a nice patina with years of use.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re battle-tested in the Tetons.<\/strong> Give\u2019r Gloves got their start in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, near Grand Teton National Park. The founders field-tested the gloves in the severe mountain conditions of this rugged landscape to ensure the 4-Season Glove could withstand whatever was thrown at them.<\/p>\n

A note on sizing: The sizing of the gloves is based on the idea that eventually the gloves will break in. So when you initially get them, they\u2019re going to feel a little tight; after you start using them, they\u2019ll loosen up into the \u201cappropriate\u201d size. If you want to have a little room from the get-go without waiting for this break-in period, then Give\u2019r recommends sizing up one size.<\/em><\/p>\n

With cold weather upon us, now\u2019s a great time to pick up a pair of Give’r 4-Season Gloves (or to gift them to someone). Huckberry offers two exclusive colors of the glove<\/a>, if you\u2019re looking for something beyond the classic tan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
