Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

So my first adventure with a snow blower was fun my fingers did get a l little cold and wet. What do you all wear?

Steel + cold = hmmmm.

Check out these bad boys with Green Patch and electrical certification that I swung for CA$77.99 + 13% HST a couple of weeks before Christmas time.  They use composite materials instead of steel to attain the same protection level and to not get so cold.  "Comfort rated" to -100C.

Above 0 C you can probably get away with good ski gloves, but below that mitts are always warmer. One thing for sure, make sure you are not wearing anything that dangles, like long scarves or hoodie laces. Don't need that stuff getting caught in the machinery. I don't like wearing a coat with open sleeves that can get caught on the handles. Steel toed boots
can be good too, for those times when you've found out where the sunday paper disappeared to and you need to give something (the paperboy) a good stress relieving boot!

Cheers

Nice boots. I like how they're wrapped with rubber so even if you work in slush all day, you won't get water in your boots and your feet won't freeze.
