When you're as far north as Alaska, no ordinary nitrile-dipped gloves will do. Big Dippers are made of 265-gram polyester fleece to keep your paws toastier than basic nitrile gloves can, with a hit of spandex for a better fit. Seriously rugged nitrile coating handles abrasion and offers a sure grip. Elastic cuffs. If you’re tackling Alaska-sized tasks even when the temperature drops, best keep a pair of these in the truck cab or toolbox.
