Are the Vermonter and the Uphill Skier basically the same, except for the Cinchable cuffs and the included wool liner? I'm asking because I hear a lot of good things about the Vermonter but I'd prefer to have a Cinchable cuff for gardening.
That's correct. The leather glove is the same. The uphill skier size is calibrated to wear with the removable wool liner, so you may want to size down if you plan to wear them without.
Absolutely the best gloves, I purchased 2 pair at Christmas I ordered one pair the wrong size - I bought to big, I sent an email and VG took care of it sending me the correct size, I had to send the other pair back. Made in the USA
Just got the vermonter gloves today and they're the best I've had. I used to cycle through $8 wells lamont gloves they were okay and honestly exceeded expectations for the price but these are on another level. If you want serious protection and comfort, VG is it. They even did a little customization to help me pack these gloves on my rucks better. Totally worth the extra money.
That's an amazing video! Thanks so much for sharing it. Making Vermont Gloves is labor-intensive, but the final product is terrific! It's so good to see a company in business for more than a century taking such pains to create a top-level product.
Smile!! Too bad you don't sell trade specific gloves on the web site. I'm so tired of not finding decent gloves in retail stores. I"ve worn out many dozens of leather gloves in my 76 years in construction, steel, logging, heavy equip. operation and wrenching and on and on. Gloves are essential in many jobs and good ones are not easy to find these days. Thank you!
We make a lot more styles than we retail. We have been serving trade & wholesale customers for 100 years. Many of our styles are trade-specific and therefore we don't sell them on our website.
I love that you didn’t redo the video. It was real. It was endearing good for you. Hasn’t that happened to all of us with one product or another love you.
Been on the fence about buying your gloves because as high as the quality looks, the price is pretty up there too, understandably. I don’t have too much extra money to spend on gloves but I will be absolutely saving up for a pair now
Nah, you can run them for a while before conditioning. They are chock full of lanolin out of the box. That said, it's not going to hurt anything if you want to condition them right away. If they start to feel a little stiff or look dry that's when you should start conditioning. Or if they get fully soaked its a good idea to condition them after they dry completely (away from a direct heat source ;)
I think its an awsome idea and have a pair of gloves that have been repaired already but need it again. I think it would be worth reinforcing every finger while you have them there! If your wearing through a couple fingers the others are not far behind it. I actually would love to see the finger tips reinforced on the inside and the outside like in this video right from the factory when purchased! This seems like it would be worth doing to make the longest lasting gloves possible!
@@vermontglove4112 Not everyone is going to see this explanation. You should make a new video where he points out the measurements at the index finger and at the bottom of the palm(right hand side). Also - what if your index finger measures at 9 but your palm measures at 11?
hey guys i build custom waterfalls and was wondering if these apps would make the gloves a bit slippery as far as pickin up stone 50-80# stone is not friendly to feet.
I left 3 pare of leather work gloves in my outdoor shed over the winter. When I got to them they had mold on them. I figured they were ruined so I couldn’t make it worse. I smoked them in white vinegar. Somewhere between 2 and 10 hours. Then scrubbed them liberally with a brush. After rinsing them with water I conditioned them like in this video and they look and feel great know. If you have a better suggestion for mold on leather gloves let me know.
Last year I sent a pair back that I felt wore through one finger tip prematurely. They repaired the one hole as well as reinforced another finger tip on the same glove and also one on the other glove. They shipped the gloves back without charging for postage. All within a week. Most likely the best customer care from any company I have dealt with
These gloves are the best. Bought two pair. Will buy more, not because they wear out but because I can use them for all different tasks. Made in VT so you know there isn’t anything better.
Thanks for your fast reply. I was in an accident four years ago and haven't been in the yard until this year. So my gloves were in sad shape as neglected in horrible condition for 4 years but I put them in a bucket ( 4 pair) with powder detergent and hot faucet water and let them soak an hour. Then used a sink/toilet plunger to agitate them. Had to change the water 4-5 x , then ran them thru spin cycle in washing machine. Turned some kitchen chairs upside down and put a glove on each leg to dry. Then rubbed them with mink oil. Let dry and rubbed real good with a dish cloth. Very pleased with outcome. Thanks for your encouragement! Blessings, p
I had a pair of deerskin gloves that I used for hunting, I thought I would waterproof them, I used a high quality leather oil. Worst mistake I ever made, it remove all the porosity from the deerskin. The first day out it was cold, and those gloves felt like I had on metal gloves the cold went through like I had my hands in ice water. The short of it is I ruined those gloves. Be careful on waterproofing gloves, I ended up using them for yard work on warm days.
