Upland gloves?

[huntingfish]

Howdy!
I was wondering what type of gloves you guys wear while trying to catch a few upland birds from october to winter times? Holding onto a steel shotgun's receiver during cold times does test out your gloves.

I've been doing a few searches and there are certainly a few very nice (expensive) options available: Outdoor Research Silencer gloves, Orvis Cold Weather Hunting gloves or Pro LT Hunting gloves,...

What do you guys use?

It has to be pretty cold before I transition to something warmer than the golf gloves I usually wear. But I’m from Winterpeg.

These Ninja Ice gloves are great, available at industrial supply stores like Century Vallen or Grainger etc

I wear Mechanix gloves. You can get them at canadian tire.

I usually have some wort of similar glove to the mechanix. Just stay away from any with the extra shock adsorbing padding on the palms, it makes it more awkward to hold onto the gun.

I have about 8 pair of Mechanix gloves in different configurations.

they are good to about -3

if you want warm don't use the leather or reinforced knuckle.
The cheapest ones are the warmest

Any glove billed as being for the outdoor sportsman or shooter is going to be expensive, I use golf gloves or just whatever I can find that isn't too bulky. I couldnt care less if they don't say Browning or Beretta on them!

I have worn Watson deer hide Ropers for about 40 years now, either lined or un lined, and find them fantastic.
When it get really cold II use mitts with the roper inside them.

Up until deer season (nov 01) when it’s just above 0c I wear the fingerless bicycle gloves. Comfortable and they don’t hinder your movement when it’s time to hustle ..,

I wear cross country ski gloves that will stop the wind and that I can put a set of hand warmers in for really cold weather.

I have something similar and they are nice...but I do need to hold onto the gun as well though.

Every year around this time Home Depot has a "special buy" sale on winter work gloves with a thin layer of Thinsulate in them. They're like lined black mechanics gloves. They don't have the velcro strap so they slide on and off easily which I like, however they allow enough dexterity to operate a safety and trigger with them on anyways

I'm with cat ,it's all I wear ,unlined version I'm pretty active while bird hunting so it may help

I just wear the same shooting gloves I use trap and skeet shooting. I think they are The Gun Glove brand? A pair lasts me about 4-5 seasons...

My regular shooting gloves do the job just fine. Browning maybe cannot remember

 

[IronCanadian]

Mechanix used to have a glove that worked great for me; tight on my hand, but not uncomfortable. I'd use them all year, during deer season when it was really cold I'd wear a mitt that I could drop and the gloves inside. Sadly they seem to have discontinued it for the crap they have now.

I like ninja like gloves, but they do not breath properly for me and I end up getting sweaty palms and then cold hands.

I finally went with something like this:

Same here! They allow great dexterity and adequate protection from brush as well as the cold.

Also helpful when pulling cactus from the dog.

Seem to last quite a while also
