Winter "work" gloves for DH?

[BananaMama]

DH needs a pair of very warm, but durable winter gloves. He needs to wear them while snowblowing, and using the snowblower has really ripped up a couple pairs of his past gloves. I did get him some winter work gloves a couple years ago but they were not warm enough. Any recs?? don't care about cost at this point, just warmth and durability.

My husband finally found something that works. He uses these woolen mitten inserts inside these waterproof shell mittens. (Oh sorry, they're called "mitts" for men, not mittens, LOL.) He's searched for years for something warm and dry for hours of snowblowing and shoveling, and this combo works. I wish I could wear wool, because I need a solution, too!

ETA: He typically wears XL gloves, but has both of these in L.

I bought these for DH for chopping and lugging firewood:

These look good too:

My DH and I picked up a pair of winter work gloves by Wells Lamont at Costco. They are made similar to this style, but with brown fabrics instead of black and HydraHide leather. I wore these gloves yesterday in single digit/sub-zero windchill temps for nearly two hours while snowblowing and shoveling.

My DH uses a pair of thinsulate lined leather gloves made by red wing shoes. They are certainly sturdy but I'd have to ask him about warmth. I know the leather can get wet (maybe we need to recondition it) but I don't know if that transfers to his hands at all. To me the biggest downside is that the wrists aren't tight at all--I suppose tucking them in to something would help. I wore them down to the bus stop this afternoon when I somehow displaced my gloves in the ten feet between the coat closet and the stroller and the finger portion did seem warm and wind proof.

On one of my photography forums the other day someone asked about gloves for the winter. A member from Alaska recommended these gloves from Walmart also.

Thanks, several pairs to look at! Keep the suggestions coming!

Duluth Trading Company has nice gloves and a nice return policy. DH, DS#1, and I have gloves from there and they have held up well over the years. I've had mine for about 3 year now and I'm just thinking it might be time to replace them.
