I wear a leather glove on my RH, and choppers on my left in weather below zero. When the chainsaw is put down to do other work, the chopper goes back on the right hand.

If I believe I only will need to use the saw a short time I will sometimes just forget the glove and work with RH barehanded, or take the chance of fatigue and use the chopper on the RH if its just one or two tankfuls. For working all day with chiansaw, choppers' don't provide sure enough grip or "feel" ---after a while you'll be cutting frozen dirt and rocks while bucking, or worse, taking chances of hurting yourself.

For winter use it's chopper mitts all the way! I like the cheap kind of split cowhide and synthetic fleece lining (about $6 pr.). No great loss when they get full of oil and you rip them. Warm enough but not waterproof if that's what you need. Trouble is, they're getting harder to find.

Cotton jersey gloves and heated handles. With the temps lately, the handles are never turned off.

Winter:
(Atlas 451 thermal fit) http://www.reddeninc.com/atlasgloves.htm#Atlas300b

Really cold: Two gloves on each hand.

These gloves make sawing safer because it takes less strength to hold the saw.
