Anybody work in a freezer?

[SubZero901]

I work in a freezer in 20 below all day happily warm. I ride motorcycles! Wanna wearless and stay Warmer and move faster?
1. Go to the nearest cycle gear store or order on line.
2. For Head buy regular Benin then buy this thing called turtle fur, put on the beni on frist then the turtle fur. It should cover your entire face except eyes.
3. They have this thing called freeze out it really works. The whole suit, gloves,socks,pants,shirt,. But don't buy the head stuff.
This is what i where to work everyday,
Under shirt
Under wear
One pair of winter socks plus freeze out socks
Freeze out pants
Freeze out shirt
Freeze out glove
Turtle fur
My work beni
My long slave work shirt
Regular pair of jeans
Steal toe boots ( I know the other ones are warmer) but there like 200!
Then my work freezer suit plus these orange freezer work gloves. That is it! Just keep moving and body will do the rest.

Oh sure, but you forgot to mention that the above non-chalantly mentioned "orange freezer work gloves" were woven from Zeus' beard hairs and sealed with albino narwhal blubber oil. Kinda hard to find them at Cycle Gear.

I've spent a few days in one of our refrigerated warehouses at 35 degrees, not quite there.

I've spent a few minutes in our -40 chamber. Actually hurts to breathe at that point.

I've worked several winters outdoors at a lumberyard. There it's all about your core temp.

I spend a lot of time in a below 20 degree freezer and these gloves really work.
Get some if you can find them!

You can write it off on your taxes as an un-reimbursed expense.

You beat me to this comment about layers.

I did, too. Cold as hell! Outside all day, every day and last time, it was one of the coldest winters here in years. Layers of light clothing traps air and definitely works.

Ok, we''ll move on ...

I manage to pull it off alright.

I work in a cooler probably 2-4 hours a day three days a week, but I have no advice about a freezer. 38 and -10 are completely different, I'm usually sweating in the cooler.

And never underestimate the power of a good pair of wool socks!

If your gloves are getting wet at all, even damp ,this is what is freezing your hands ....

Some pretty good glove suggestions on here already ...

I keep about 4 pair handy in my work truck and rotate them as needed during the during work day. I wear a thermal glove that my employer provides ,don't know the name ...


Lifes to short for cheap gloves ,get some good ones and you'll appreciate it

Good luck.

Look for some wool gloves, maybe merino to wear as a liner, wick sweat really well. DeFeet Wool Duragloves work well in this application. I've never used them in a freezer, but sub-freezing under something to block the wind a bit while cycling.

If three layers of gloves don't keep your extremities warm ask yourself these questions:
1. Do the tips of your hands lose feelings.
2. Do the tips of your fingers turn white.
3. When your hands are returning to normal do they hurt like needles( the only way to describe it).
If so you may have a condition called Raynaud's Syndrome.
Google it for more info.
