I'm surprised a company hasn't really nailed a quality set of gloves. Maybe that's my calling.

Big 5 used to have the Morris-Feel gloves.  I haven't been in a Big five in about 12 years. Maybe I should stop in and see if they still have them :dunno:

I wear my snowmobile gloves.

true adventure gear is the brand I have currently, but my gloves are a few model years back and differ a little bit from the new ones.

They're made to grip snowmobile handle bars so you have good feel sensitivity.

I have some archery gloves that make room for the lease for archery.

I have a pair of liners and a pair of Swany winter gloves.

I only need the liners if I am sitting for long periods of time in 15 degree or lower weather or if the wind chill is driving hard.

Swany makes ski /snowboard gloves and this is designed for hunting.  the trigger finger is wrapped a little tighter to fit in the trigger guard and is of the material used in the palm to give you more feel than the camo.  I haven't had to test them in anything other than wet snow.

I know they aren't the best possible option, but I spent the last couple weeks in single digits and teens and was pretty happy with them.  I have had them for a few years and haven't worn them a whole lot.  I think these were a lot more affordable than the Sitka ass well, but again I bought them a few years ago and can't remember the details on cost.

No luck with the Kuiu of Sitka gloves for me. I continue to run cheap fleece gloves that fit loose when I'm in cold conditions.  Also I've had good luck with wool gloves. This is one of the only items where I don't feel money buys you the best. :twocents:

 Yep, my wool gloves have thinsulate in them and have been fantastic, but the finger pad area has worn through a couple spots where I focus my binos. Out of all the gloves Wells Lamont manufactures, I cant believe the ones I liked the best they no longer make. :bash:

I dont like thick gloves so when its cold I use a wool liner glove in a medium weight cabelas polarstretch(or something) glove.  Then I have a cabelas muff.  Ill throw a hand warmer in there if its really cold.  Hands stay roasty.  Fell asleep once when it was in the low teens and hands were sweaty when I woke up.

When its warmer ill simply drop the muff and liner.

If you are doing longer treks in you may get cold hands if you are carrying things and cant tuck your hands away.  I walk in around a mile usually.  I switch hands every minute or so if its really brisk and put the other in the muff.

I use mechanics gloves around camp. I  then switch to Blackhawk nomex flight gloves (black) for hunting. If it is raining really hard then I switch to Sealskins. I also use Sealskins on the boat and I keep a pair in each vehicle.

yes, I saw that.  I was trying to investigate whether they were discontinued and it appears they may be, but that is the style I would be looking for if you want "true cold weather gloves".   I will be looking for a brand/style that will replace these.

My favorite gloves are a pair of leather gloves with a slight amount of thinsulate, 100 grams I think. I got them at cabelas they aren't anything fancy but they've held up great and with some good grease are fairly waterproof. Can't shoot with them on but they are loose enough fitting I can flick them off to shoot quickly. For warmer weather I have just a pair of elk hide gloves. Super cold weather I have a pair of cold weather cabelas gloves, nothing special I'm in the market for a new pair I've been looking at the kuiu super down mits with the merino liners.

I have been wearing the military surplus green wool gloves for 30 years. They stay warm when wet, I carry a spare pair in my pack, and they're inexpensive. I prefer wool over the newer materials.

Where do you get them?  I've been using similar but black wool  (umpire's gloves) - work great but I can't find them any more.

I've been using Manzella gloves the past few seasons. The set I have has a grippy palm with a soft shell like outer on it. They have a nice fleece lining inside as well. I believe it's one of these.

Have a couple pairs of the old school Morris Feel Gloves. They have holes in them from years of use but boy I tell you they are a nice wool glove for medium to lite weight. :twocents:

I wear these arctic shield gloves and love them.  If its not too cold I wear the inside glove.  Then during cold times, I put the mits on.
