Chilly Grip

Chilly Grip gloves are for keeping your hands warm during cold-weather general work and outdoor recreation. The Original pairs warmth with a textured latex palm, while waterproof H2O styles offer water protection and textured palm options. Start with how wet your hands will get on the job.

Red Steer Glove Company introduced Chilly Grip. Chilly Grip belongs to the Atwood Companies family of brands. Its focus is cold-weather work and outdoor-recreation gloves with different palm coatings.

The Original for general work

The Original has a heavy-duty textured latex rubber palm. That gives you texture against a shovel handle or the material you’re carrying. It’s a practical starting point for cold, mostly dry general work.

Water protection depends on the glove

Choose water protection by the individual glove’s designation. The high-visibility water-resistant thermal glove is labeled water-resistant. The H2O waterproof glove with a thermal knit liner and the black/high-visibility H2O waterproof thermal-lined glove are explicitly labeled waterproof. For a wet job, choose the waterproof designation.

H2O includes both water-resistant and waterproof gloves, so the individual description matters. The gray and black H2O waterproof thermal-insulated styles have textured palms and snug-fit wrists. Those are useful options when you want water protection along with palm texture for handling tools and materials.

Fit around the handle

Chilly Grip’s pre-curved design is intended to allow natural hand movement. Check the fit with a gripping motion: close your hand as though you’re holding a shovel, then open it fully. Pay attention to fabric gathering in your palm, pulling across your knuckles or excess material at your fingertips.

For a long day outside, a dry spare pair is useful. Sweat and water entering at the wrist can leave a glove damp inside. Change into the dry pair when that happens.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Chilly Grip gloves waterproof?

You can get Chilly Grip gloves in waterproof and water-resistant versions. The H2O name covers both, so check the individual glove’s designation. Water-resistant isn’t the same as waterproof.

Are Chilly Grip gloves good for cold-weather work?

Chilly Grip gloves are built for cold-weather general work, with thermal liners and several palm-coating options. Warmth is only part of the job: you also need a fit that lets you close your hand comfortably around a handle. There’s no temperature rating given for the line.

How should Chilly Grip gloves fit?

You want enough room to close your hand without pulling across your knuckles, but no loose material hanging past your fingertips. Chilly Grip’s pre-curved design is intended to help your hand move naturally. Size ranges vary by style, so the same size choices aren’t offered across the whole line.
