Any suggestions for work gloves that provide protection, insulation and especially GRIP??? Everything I've tried so far has been good for protection, but not so much with insulation from the cold weather and gripping capacity..

I have a rotating selection of cheap work gloves, varying by task. Never did find one pair that could do everything.

Those dipped rubber "gummy gloves" at the hardware store are often available in a winter version.

John,

I bought a pair of these for an outdoors NYE gig this past week.

I think they worked reasonably well.  I still had enough dexterity to plug and unplug XLRs, and I could tie trick line too.  It was only a few degrees below freezing here for NYE, but blowing a gale earlier in the day, and I had no trouble with cold fingers.  I already had a pair of their unlined work gloves, and surprisingly, I haven't lost them yet in two years, but they're still holding up.

And the best is (read the fine print down at the bottom of the page) they're designed by Midas, so they probably work even better when you push them a little bit!

Most off-the-shelf jobs don't fit me, but I absolutely love these gloves:

I prefer to use deerskin gloves.  When wet, it doesn't become slippery.  Stays supple and doesn't harden after drying out.
I first started to use deerskin when I raced motorcycles.  I have had the same pair of work gloves now for about 10 years.

I don't know about the cold weather part, but I like to use leather gloves (currently set wear pro leather) and then work some sno-seal into them.  It makes them pretty water resistant, increases grip, flexibility and they seem to last longer.  The first step to warm hands and feet are dry hands and feet

I bought some full finger Dirty Riggers a few months ago and they are pretty nice.  The index finger is a bit bulky for tying tie line due to the seam being parallel to your fingernail.  They do allow you to use touch screens while on which is nice if you are at a lighting console or trying to use your phone.

I had a pair of Ringer Split fit for years and loved them.  The way the index finger was sewn make it really nice to work with.  I don't think they call them that anymore though, looks like maybe the Turbo Series.  I used them to help my dad years ago load a bin with about 12' of demoed sidewalk on one of her jobs.  It was lightly raining and cold.  After I threw them in the washing machine and continued to use them for years.  I was surprised they held up to the sharp concrete without any of the seams showing wear after that.
