Things to note when buying

The gloves themselves are not particularly warm,
but they are good when used with a pair of glove
liners (available in most outdoor stores)

 

There are other tan / yellow gloves issued by the
Army but avoid these as they were for the
Paratroopers only. Similarly, the full brown
leather gloves were for the air crews

 

Standard issue knitted wool OD gloves make a good liner.
