Hey everyone,
I'm just doing some research for a report on the types of ski gloves people use and to see what people really thought of winter gloves.
I would really appreciate it if some of you could complete this survey if you had the time
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SF6KH3Q
Thanks alot!!

imperialgloves, Surely what you are doing is market research to see whether there is potential for a new entrant into the heated gloves market?
I can't do the survey as I buy mine in £'s not $'s

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

$10 Kinco deerskin insulated workgloves seem to do the job fine thanks. I'll stretch to a Goretex equivalent mid winter. Anything else and you're paying a brand premium although Hestras do look very nice.

Seems spammy to me. Did your rather bizarre survey anyway. It was not an option, but I would not be prepared to pay anything for heated gloves. By that I mean I wouldn't pay a premium for heated gloves over the ordinary kind.

Thanks a bunch guys. It's for a school project, so not really a spamming thing! It seems heated gloves are getting more and more popular these days so it's interesting to gauge people's opinions.

I can't do it either. It says on Q6
Have you ever purchased or used heated gloves?
Yes (go to 7)
No (go to 8 )
So I ticked No and went to 8. But at the end it won't let me submit as it says I must answer Q7  . Fail!

Wot Spud9 said.
imperialgloves I might have given a kinder reaction if you hadn't named yourself as a glove! (makes a change from a sock I s'pose )

Hestra, sorted.

imperialgloves, question 5 on the attributes misses one of the most important reasons for buying - because they are warm.

imperialgloves, did the survey.
As others have pointed out there are ways of improving the survey - but I thought it wasn't too bad.
On a positive, it was a refreshing change to have a questionnaire that didn't go on for pages and pages ... so many times I've started them, but given-up before the end because the dragged on too long.
Hope the school project goes well and you get some reasonable data/info.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Please rank the attributes you consider when deciding on which pair of gloves to use or purchase (1 being the most important, 6 the least)

This is a massive fail for all female users as there is no box that mentions COLOUR

imperialgloves, ....sorry to be another spoiler but you shoudl pretest a questionnaire like this...I can't really give you an accurate answer which genuinely reflects state of the art thinking in gloves, based on years on the hill ie:
- guide gloves are very good, since large leather component, therefore durable (eg marmot, hestra)
- I do not use membrane gloves since I find them to be not breathable enough, and sweat buildup means chilled hands - KEEP DRY - this is the secret to keeping warm
- thick fleece is excellent at wicking and insulating (mountain equipment, rab and marmot) and more important than having gore tex membrane
- softshell and thick fleece is top performer at the moment
and having two pairs, so that if one pair gets saturated, then a dray pair is available
sorry, but there it is...

imperialgloves, Just did your survey. Can't say I'd be interested in heated gloves personally as I don't tend to suffer from cold hands when wearing good quality conventional gloves, but I think there is a niche market for a heated glove that actually works. I think that's where most go wrong!

I use mittens. Much warmer than gloves and no need for any other gubbins. There was no option for this on the survey.

I must admit I can't find a glove company called Imperial Gloves dealing winter gloves easily on Google. The OP could be from Imperial College.

fatbob,
Where do you get Kinco gloves from?
Are they well insulated?

Have you tried the mittens?

Chamcham, Any hardware store in the US. There are a few that sell them online and will ship. Kinco do a ski specific glove as well but winter workgloves are pretty well insulated for those that work outside in the winter.
