it doesnt matter if they're mens or womens. i think they all look unisex. anyway, do you like them? if not, what would you suggest i get?

thanks to everyone who helps me out, i know most of us hate links and questions we dont have to think to answer.

Answer 1

I like the backcountry ones

Answer 2

Of the three examples, I am leaning to the second pair. Only because they appear better suited for driving (easily able to hold wheel and work dash controls) without slipping.

As for suitability of gloves as a choice...hey, a couple Christmas' ago..my wife and I both had the same idea and wound up exchanging gloves. What I got her were called 'thinsulate' and they are fitted but very warm (they also make boots). They come in male/female shapes too...I know 'cause she got me male ones. LOL! I wear them even when not driving..they are plenty warm and make it easy to use my phone or what ever without always having to take the gloves off. Just shows you care about her. :)

Answer 3

of the 3 I liked the first ones. I drive a bus and good warm gloves with the proper grip are very important!

Answer 4

Lonely Planet, I clicked on the women's glove in lower right hand corner. Has elastic wrist which is warmer. Reason I mention is because women have diff hands than men (no kidding) and gloves are made differently. Sized differently as well.

Answer 5

I like the 3rd pair because I noticed that they are machine washable too. If the first are washable, they're a bit cuter. (I pump gas with my gloves on so I like them to wash.) Didn't love the second pair as much. What color is her coat again - green, blue?
Happy Thanksgiving!

Answer 6

From the description the third set look to be about the best. Especially with using them for driving.

Answer 7

I don't know.. I think they do have good grips but I am not so sure about the unisex thing.. If you really want to please you gf, try to look for something more women.. you know some people don't like wearing that looks little like girls or boys

Answer 8

First choice is the first pair, second choice is the third pair.
I don't really care for the second pair.
That's a great idea though!

Answer 9

I really like the Lonely Planet Pair. But that's just my taste.

Answer 10

I'll admit to you, I'm from South Florida, so I know nothing of gloves.

However, I gave it my best shot, and since I don't like any of the ones you provided, I picked out these:

and I believe they'd look cute with this:

But, like I said, I don't know much about a "real" winter, so I'm not sure.
