what would you guys recomend for a good set of duck gloves. just the ones to shoot with not setting decoys.
-
I wear neoprene gloves in the early part of the season before it gets cold...then swithch to Cabelas dry fowl later on the cold days :twocents:
-
Hopefully someone has some good recommendations... I haven't found a good pair yet. Have a thin pair of neoprene but they don't breath at all and they get pretty clammy if you put your hands in them wet or if you start sweating.
-
I use the old green wool ones that Jerrys Surplus used to sell for cheap. They are light and pretty thin, but do a good job of keeping the digets from freezing.
-
I have 2 pairs of the finger glove/mitt combo that have pockets in the mitts for the air-activated hand warmer packets-- They are the best I've ever had for keeping the pinkies warm. Wouldn't be without them any more! One pair is Snow Camo, and the other pair is woodland camo. When I need to shoot, I just flip the mitt end out of the way.
-
Brown wool half fingers from Cabela's.
-
Fingerless Kenai gloves. Neoprene on the palms and fleece on the backs.
-
I seldom use gloves, but when I am driving the boat everything is so cold to touch I wear the Cabelas combo mitten gloves in goretex. When I am shooting I never have a glove on the trigger hand. Sure I get cold sometimes but I can warm my hand in a pocket. I have seen too many mistakes made by others with gloves on. Mistakes like couldn't find the safety, couldn't get the safety off, couldn't feel the trigger, or touched the trigger before being on target. I wear Cabelas neopreen gloves for picking up decoys.

I like the Morris Feel gloves a lot. Though a good heavy pair of fingerless ragwool keep my hands warmer I think. When it gets really cold I wear them both.

I hardly ever use gloves. Add a vest to your wardrobe. Warm the body, warm the hands. This works. I know....I am Iceman.

Straight wool... no matter how wet they get, they will keep your hands warm..
if you need to, cut the tip out of the one for your trigger finger.

I use the Under Armour gauntlets for setting long lines. That's the only time I wear them.

i've got a pair of cabelas' goretex waterfowl gloves. despite having a "thinner" trigger finger it they're pretty fumbly trying to load my gun or shoot with them on.
they work great for picking up decoys and sitting around, though. most of the time i find myself wearing a pair of black nitrile disposable gloves. not much insulation, but the fact that they keep your hands dry is huge.

2 pairs makes the day much more enjoyable. I have one pair thick neoprene for putting dekes up, camo'ing up the blind and misc other dirty jobs, and one good warm (dry) pair for in the blind
