What gloves work for you.
-
for rifle if i wear any i wear football gloves with the rubbery grippy stuff on the palm side. they fit snug and grip in the rain. you can get padded ones that are a bit warmer too. archery if i wear any i wear these camo poly gloves i found with a little insulation in them, they breath well though..
-
No gloves for me, You cant feel the trigger then. Plus im not a wuss. :chuckle:

You can't feel the trigger if your fingers are cold and stiff either, and it has nothing to do with being a wuss...it's about performance. I've got a few different types of synthetic ones that I wear if it is cold out. All of them leave an exposed trigger finger, because I agree that your finger needs to have direct contact with the trigger. One that I like is a Manzella fleece mitten with the finger section that folds back. When the moment of truth arrives, you do not want cold, stiff fingers.

I like the green wool type found in army surplus stores. Cheap, warm, light weight, and your hands aren't cold when wet. Also, good camo over your bare skin.
-
Standard leather work gloves...usually carry a heavier warm pair in the pack.
-
Archery - I have camo cloth gloves with small rubber grips. Sometimes i use them, sometimes I don't.

I starting wearing camo Mechanix gloves for predators. Good dexterity and not to expensive. I just kept wearing them all winter and they worked pretty good.

I started wearing them just for camo but found out how nice it was for riding the mountain bike, busting through stickers and brush, climbing rocks and so on.

shop gloves i get from Home Depot.

I've been using the neoprene shimano gloves or the glacier glovers. Good for climbing over things in the rainforest. Just enough protection to not get cut up by shale and roots. Great grip on them too.
-

They seem to sell them at most NAPA stores too.
-
Real men don't wear gloves, geeze ! :chuckle: So anyhow I would wear fingerless wool only. As for the eastside, same.
-
Best gloves I have found for early archery are the under armour gloves, keeps the bugs off your hands and they are very breathable and have great feel. I use them all through out hunting season . Not super warm .
-
:yeah:
-
cheep a$$ surpluss wool if i need anything.
-
When duck hunting and concealment really counts and its cold, I only put face paint on the back of my hands. Gloves only get in the way, if your hands get cold stick them in your pockets for a minute.
-
duckdummy you seem to be a horses arse,
-
I hardly ever wear gloves but when I do I just use my leather gloves I use when bucking hay :twocents:
-
I'm a fan of thin gloves when it starts to get cold. I usually wear a pair of thin rocky camo gloves with a grippy palm. Kind alike archery gloves.
when it starts getting colder i go for the mukuluks so i can flip off the flingers when need. I've got two pairs of these, a regular pair, and a 50gram thinsulate pair.....big difference. its gotta be getting close to single digits for the 50 grammers or my hands toast.
I've been still hunting a lot more lately and if I'm going to be glassing a lot i'll bring out the gloves, if not, then I'll be using my coat breast pockets...something i look for whenever buying a new coat now, they are awesome.
-
For those of you who say whimps where gloves I say you must not hunt in the high country in november or mabey my hands just get cold as a result of cutting timber? But I know that wearing wool gloves allows me to hunt longer and harder than if I didn't have gloves on. Or mabey iam just a whimp?
-
I don't wear gloves while hunting on the westside. Idaho in late november is a different story.....
-
I am just asking a question here maybe some of you don't hunt the same places I do, if I am glassing and its raining and the wind is blowing 10 to 20 mph and 40 degrees the back of my hands get cold.
-
You don't have to defend yourself to me. You could wear 3 pairs at the same time for all I care. I was merely stating my preference.
-
Hey not trying to start anything, just my preference not to wear gloves. don't mean to come off like an A$$. Sorry if I offended anyone.
-
sealskinz. Completely waterproof and thin enough that I feel my 2.5# trigger just fine.
-
Duckdude its good here.
