Hunting Gloves

[j_06]

Surplus Herbeys has these dutch surplus gloves for under $20. I use them for ice fishing, hunting and snowmobiling and there pretty good. I usually just use the heavy wool liners unless really cold. Easy to adjust or take off and keeps snow out well .

Something for some of you to try is to wear a pair of latex gloves under your regular gloves or mitts. A common practice in the mining and oil industries that makes a difference in keeping the digits warm.

I tried that once. Kept in too much heat for me. Hands were getting sweaty.

A green roughneck we had on our rig did this in -35 to -40 type weather. By the time we had bop'ed off and had the well head back on the trapped moisture form the sweat in his hand then a bit of a break in activity had causde the worst frostbite I have ever seen in over a decade on the service rigs. The office sent out incident reports with the pictures taken of his hands at the hospital which were so swollen, watery, and blistered . Worst cold injury I've ever seen, can hardly explain it it was so gross. This was in the course of 45 minutes tops, and all he said when we were back in he dog house was that his hands hurt really bad, then they felt fine. Either way, not some thug you'll catch me doing doing, and 90% of the time you'll see guys wearing the white cotton liners under some green kings.

I use thin North Face gloves with rubber prints on the inside of the palm/fingers for traction (they are basically thermal glove liners) and hand warmer packs inside my parka side pockets.

I use Mechanics "Grip" gloves inside larger, synthetic mitts. Always loves the fit/feel of Mechanix plus a lot of military guys swear by them too.

And slide a pair of Magic Gloves inside. Not my idea of comfort, but a man I trust swears by them. (He must have the metabolism of a teenage hamster to keep warm.)

Thinsulate-lined deerhide work gloves is about all I ever need.

I got a pack of 3 pairs at Costco a few years back, for like $20 or something. Doesn't take long to take the right one off when it comes time to pull the trigger. They are great for handling ice-cold tire chains when the time comes, too.

More often than not, the gloves are in my pack. My hands have to be really frickin' cold for it to bother me. Like a couple weeks ago when it was 1C and pouring rain, and I was riding my dual sport with soaking wet gloves at 100 km/h. Actually my entire body was wet. About 3 inches of water inside my insulated rubber boots, too. That was unpleasant.

In severe cold, I agree that thin wool gloves inside some good mitts is the way to go.

Those are great gloves. My wife bought me a pack a while back. I still use the first pair at work. I "rebuild" them with duct tape on the fingers and thumbs. I use them summer and winter.

They are back in stock at Costco where I live, so I'm going to grab another pack of them soon. They are nice to leave in places where I need them. A couple pair in the truck, a pair in the trailer, a pair in the garage, etc.

For some types of work, especially in the summer, I do like good-fitting, well worn-in, plain raw-hide. But from Fall till Spring, these ones are perfect.

I use Mechanix gloves.. preferably the thicker insulated ones.. the extra grip ones with rubberized palms and inner fingers are really nice

North Face gloves for me with CT hand warmers inside when yote hunting at Cold temps. I find all the NF gear very good quality and very durable.

I'll second (or third?) mitts for cold hands... I usually go with an extra large size so that they are easy on/easy off. Does anyone remember the mitts with an overlapping slit across the palm? Slide your fingers out to shoot/manipulate...back in to stay warm. Been looking for those for the last 5 years, no joy.
Cheers
and good luck

I bought a nice pair at the local Canadian Tire a few years ago. Nylon glove inside a "flip-mitt" with little rubber "treads" for grip. Magnet holds it open. Pocket in each for a hot pack. I only use them while on stand and switch out to a mechanix glove covered with an XXL nitrile glove for gutting.
I also bought a neoprene muff last year, not really sure if I like it or not.

Thin bow hunting/turkey hunting gloves inside a muff with hand warmers to hang on to. Otherwise, Cabelas fleece gloves with same muff set up. But you dont feel the hand warmer as much having to get through the fleece instead of the thin pair of gloves.

Anybody have any ideas or thoughts on a size SMALL glove that works well for shooting and also functions as needed to keep hands warm? I see the two glove thing seems popular and I can see why, but even so, most gloves are either one size fits all or M at smallest, which doesn't work for me, I have short stubby fingers that has found me struggling to find gloves that work well.

I usually just cut the base of my trigger finger on the gloves im using. I can slip my finger free and back in as required. I like head brand gloves. I use them for cross country skiing also. About of the black stretchy mid weight gloves. Over mitts for extreme cold.

I can think of one deer that I shot wearing gloves. (Me not the deer) That one was mostly just to see if i could shoot with a glove on. Every other time the shooting glove came off. I had some shooting mitts for coyote calling, but found I was taking those off too. Same with winter range shooting, muskox hunting and everything else. Im more concerned with gloves that are useful for whatever else Im doing at the time.

Look at cross country ski gloves, I’ve always found them at Winners come fall/winter. They’re light and insulated to a degree and come in small to large sizes, I used to snowboard in them in Ontario so they are plenty warm. Can easily shoot with them on, lots of them have a leather palm and fingers and aren’t slippery.

Outdoor Research makes a three finger mitt that isolates the index finger. Looks very warm and although not marketed for shooting/hunting, I imagine it would work well. I’ve got a pair in my Amazon cart and I’m waiting for them to go on sale,

I have been using Glacier Gloves since they first came out...... 100% satisfied in near 2 decades of using thier products. I started using them for flyfishing and also steelhead fishing in the winter months. They work so well, I buy nothing else.
I have the fingerless windproof/waterproof camo gloves(mid weight prohunter) for hunting and the black ones for fishing. I also have thier elite shooting and bristol bay models for regular hunting/shooting gloves and the Aleutian neoprene model for dealing with stuff in water and I use them ice fishing.
For a "winter glove" when it is really cold or when riding the quad , I use a good snowmobile glove and I also have a pair of seal skin, fur lined mittens for slipping over gloves when it gets into the real winter temps below -20.
