Best gloves to keep warm

My hands get COLD and then they are no good.
Anyone have suggestions on the best gloves, (not mittens) that they use.
Obviously I would like to be able to fish to some degree with them on.
Thanks

Haywood,

I have been using some gloves called Glacier Gloves over the years for this time of year and really have come to like them. I like to use the rock and ice climbing models because there are full fingered and water proof. The gloves themselves are lightly fleeced line on the inside. They also make a small liner glove to go with these gloves for more extreme weather conditions. I have been able to tie knots and thread plastics on a hook with them. They are not the answer to the sub-zero temps while fishing, but fishing in temps in the 20’s are real comfortable with them.

The fishing gloeves that Glacier Gloves offer are fingerless and feel that the water-proof ability in the ice climbing models are really what I enjoy mostly this time of year.

Something to check out anyway!
Good luck as I know many others have good suggestions as well.

Haywood,

I agree with Steve. They also make a split-finger model that I use. The thumbs have a smooth surface that allows you to cast bait casting reels. The best investment winter fishing I’ve made.

Steve;

Does any retailer in our area carry them?
Galyan’s, Gander, Cabela’s???

Gary,

The last place that I have seen them was Galyan’s in the Minnetonka store and they carried the ones that riverfan is referring to…”the fishing gloves”. I personally like the ice-climbing full fingered gloves for its water proof capability. The gloves are snug enough to still be able to handle fish (ie.. taking fish off, threading on new plastics, and even tying new knots if need be)

I bought mine directly from Glacier Glove at:

Would these be warm enough for hunting too? You know when you’re not using your fingers as much?
Thanks,

skhartke,

Glacier Glove makes some models that are specifically catered to hunters.

These appear to be a little thinner material, therefore making your fingers a little more limber to fit inside the trigger of the gun.
Checkout the Internet Specials . They have some of these gloves on clearance if you are interested.

I am fairly new to this cold weather fishing. A while back someone else asked the same question. There were a lot of responses stating to keep several pair of those cheap brown jersey gloves in your boat, which I did. I cut the trigger finger off for casting purposes. I do pull on a pair of leather mittens over these when running. Know you don’t like mitts, but found them very handy (no pun intended) for winding line around and pulling jigs out of snags-have the right hand mitt in my boat year round for that. Granted, they aren’t very fashionable. Bought a pair of rubber gloves for pulling/dropping the anchor. Added a couple of towels to my rod rack. Also bought some of those chemical hand warming packs, but haven’t needed to use them yet. Haven’t fished yet under extreme conditions so could end up with a pair of gloves that the others are talking about, too. If a guy can pull/drop anchor, fish, and run with just one pair of gloves that certainly would be best.
