I have terribly cold hands always, what gloves do you like best while hunting to keep your hands warm?

My  brother got me a pair of Kuiu gloves for Christmas last year and I have to say I'm impressed.  I don't know that I would pay that much for gloves if they weren't a gift but I would say that they are definitely worth the money if you have the extra money for them.

I have the kuiu gloves with the liner, I like them when it's dry out.  But, the one's I have are NOT waterproof or resistant at all.  They suck when it's nasty out.

Outdoor Research had some of their nice tactical gloves on sale last weekend. I am always trying to find a glove thin enough to shoot with but sturdy too. I use a thin fake leather glove, add silk liner. Keeps me warm down to about 30. Not waterproof, bring a separate pair for nasty conditions.

I bought these a few weeks ago: http://www.amazon.com/Hot-Shot-Predator-Pop-Top-Realtree/dp/B00W9OE2MC/ref=sr_1_1?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1449088026&sr=1-1&nodeID=7141123011&keywords=hunting+gloves+cold+weather

I was out hunting last weekend, it was about 15-20 degrees, and those gloves worked great! There is a zipper to put hand warmers in  :tup:

I'll third or fourth the OR gloves.  I think mine are the windstopper, gripper, fleece, but they are several years old.  Although, lately, I have been using regular leather work gloves over milsurp olive drab wool glove liners.

I do have a pair of OR mittens (another Christmas gift from my brother  :chuckle: :chuckle:)  They are unbeleivably warm for riding the ATV.  Haven't tried their gloves yet though.  We do a gift exchange with my family and my brother didn't draw me though so I'll probably end up with something non hunting related  :bash: :bash:

I prefer the mittens with thinsulate where the top part folds back and leaves my fingers ready to shoot.

I use these and I issue them to my guys at work.  Great movement abilities wear them during all seasons including bow.  can still load shotgun with no problems.
little on pricey side but warm is well worth it.  good luck

   those gloves are way too costly for my lifestyle.  what if you lose one or burn or tear it, no way.  I can buy more than 10 pair of fleece ones for that price.   they are cute looking.   mike w

I also use Nomex flight gloves (black)

or ever SealZ Skinz when really wet.

nobody seems to agree but I like White Ox work gloves, I never wear them while shooting, just to get to where I can shoot. Three pairs weigh nothing, as they get wet change them. they are cheap, wash up good in the washer. Hell hundreds of loggers can't be wrong!!

I used mechanics gloves for years, but they just never held up to hard hunting. I would bring and go through multiple pairs. I an say I have not worn out a set of cut resistant or nomex flight gloves.

I have about two. Dozen pairs of differnt gloves,depending on what I am doing.
I don't think I paid more than 10.00 for a pair.

I have soft ones, thin ones ,wool ones but all cheap.

I do t like gloves which have a real soft free floating inner lining because when they get damp the liner sticks to your hands and hard to get back on.

Some of the best gloves I like I found in the garden shop of Fred Meyers.

To the OP: I have terribly cold hands, too.  Maybe think a different way?  Keep your hands dry (don't worry so much about the type of gloves).  Keep chemical hand warmers in your pocket.

The problem is your body!  You don't pump enough blood to your hands.  Short of fixing that problem, add heat to your fingertips through some type of hand warmer.  I use a box of Costco hand warmers per year.  Keep them in my pack, even in September.

Try the foot warmers with adhesive.  Stick them to your t-shirt near the kidneys.  If your core is warm your hands/feet will be also.  When you get cold, your body reduces blood flow to the extremities to protect/keep your organs warm.

wool/thinsulate glittens with a handwarmer in the flap.

Cant beat this set up IMHO

I use this set up all rifle season here in MT once it gets cold.

Wold hunt all winter in temps as low as -30

Hands are warm as can be,

Quick and easy to to shoot also

I have had some nice gloves, but can't shoot with them on my fingers :twocents: :twocents:
