Title: Best super cold weather hunting glove.
Post by: carpsniperg2 on November 08, 2023, 04:49:21 PM: Let’s hear about them. In the market and shopping around and wondering what everyone likes.

Post by: Mtnwalker on November 08, 2023, 05:00:30 PM: My glove system when it gets really cold is a pair of Fox River wool grippers (I do 90% of my late season hunting in these), a pair of OR down mittens and a pair of lightweight waterproof mitten shells. You can mix and match accordingly depending on the weather and pretty much covers all the bases, and the down mitts with the shell over is super warm and quick to remove

Post by: Stein on November 08, 2023, 05:16:02 PM: Down mittens if you don't need dexterity. I have some OR mitts that are waterproof and windproof if it's nasty. Either can be used with chemical handwarmers.

Outdoor research gripper plus convertible mitts aren’t bulky like the rag wool style, are water proof and wind proof. They have good grip and silent magnetic securement of the mitt when you need to use your thumbs and fingers. Wore them all last winter and never had my hands get cold or wet.

I've got a pair (made by Gerbing) that I picked up at Cabelas several years ago and use them all the time. They're pretty warm without using the batteries and if my hands start to get cold I just turn them on for a while. They have 4 different settings for warmth and I usually only have to use the 2 lowest settings. I seem to get 5-6 hours at the lower settings.

Post by: OltHunter on November 08, 2023, 08:02:02 PM: Mittens are going to be the best option in cold weather. I always run fingerless merinos, helps keep hands warmer and when you have to take them out of the mittens, and these are my go to, they will be hard to beat:

I will say I do get them discounted, $220 is steep I know.

I've also gone towards a muff with handwarmers as I'm not a huge fan of gloves. Game changer in winter bow hunting, shooting a hand release.

Post by: andersonjk4 on November 08, 2023, 08:02:48 PM: I have Raynauds, so keeping my hands warm is the bane of my cold weather hunts. I have tried so many gloves it’s ridiculous. What I’ve come to figure out is I pretty much have to have a hand warmer in each glove. For glassing I use Kuiu Superdown mittens they are a great super light option for glassing. When I need some dexterity I use a soft shell type glove with wind stopper with enough room to keep a hand warmer in my palm or against the back of my hand. First lite or Sitka merino liner gloves are great for using inside of mittens. I had a pair of Kuiu expedition gloves that were really nice, warm and waterproof, but didn’t fit me right, so only used them once. The buddy a gave them to ended up really liking them.

Post by: MeepDog on November 08, 2023, 08:22:51 PM: Military surplus "flyers mittens". Great for keeping the hands warm then rip them off when the time is right. Both cheap and warm.
Title: Re: Best super cold weather hunting glove.
Post by: Rutnbuxnbulls on November 08, 2023, 09:36:50 PM: Usually I hunt late bow seasons and frequently sit a stand so my hands get cold. I’ve gone with skinny merino liner types with wool cutoffs over and then I’ll stuff my hands into a muffler and have a few hand warmers set up in there. Toasty if you’re sittin. If I’m moving hands stay warmer so just thin merino in case I need to make a shot.

Post by: 300rum on November 09, 2023, 06:34:35 AM: Any of the quality mittens with the cut-off fingers where the flap folds back. Put a handwarmer in the "flap" and then make sure it has a strong enough magnet in it hold the flap back with the handwarmer inside. You can also sew a little pocket in the flap so the handwarmer stays inside and doesn't fall out on accident. I have used this as cold as 24 below. The only bug on this set up is when it is wet. If it's wet you just need another dry handwarmer or another pair of gloves and handwarmer.

Manzella the best ones I have found, especially when bow hunting. The quality wool ones work good too.

Post by: GASoline71 on November 09, 2023, 07:02:03 AM: Bought some $40 dollar suede leather "chopper mittens" with removable insulated liners off of Amazon. Throw a hand warmer in each one and they are like an oven.

Post by: Mustelidae on November 09, 2023, 08:08:59 AM: Elk mitts for mild cold. And when things get real the beaver with wolf trim come out. Both have removable shearling liners. Nothings going to beat fur or feathers for cold weather.

My hands get cold easily and I have found the Kuiu Mittens with a handwarmer inside do the best for me when its really cold

Post by: Rob on November 09, 2023, 09:28:24 AM: I am a big fan of the 3 finger mitts - best I have used are the Kuiu glassing mitts.
https://www.kuiu.com/products/super-down-pro-glassing-glomitt-verde-camouflage-2-0?variant=40479861276830

I also wear a set of super thin liner gloves under the mitts. I really like the Mountain Hardwear Butter Gloves, but it looks like they are no longer made. Closest I found in my 45 seconds of looking were these:

Title: Re: Best super cold weather hunting glove.
Post by: Rob on November 09, 2023, 09:31:39 AM: The liner gloves are great if you have to slip you hand out of the mitt for a moment to do something. Keeps the wind off the hands and they tend to help even if they are wet.

I had a pair made by smartwool but they were so thin, they did not last long.

Post by: Griiz on November 09, 2023, 10:58:04 AM: I wear mittens and put a hot pack in the mitten.
Title: Re: Best super cold weather hunting glove.
Post by: James on November 09, 2023, 11:40:51 AM: Can't beat down puffy mittens for extreme cold, and Ill bring along waterproof mitten covers if I think it might be needed.

I usually have some thin polar fleece gloves underneath for when I am moving or shooting, then the puffy mits go back on when sitting and glassing.

I have OR's, but first lite sells something simular.
