I have poor circulation in my right index finger so it gets cold much faster than my others. What are some gloves you guys recommend for open water river fishing when its too cold for bare hands?

Ilike the ice armor gloves, water proof to an extent and they have a zippered poutch on the top/ back hand area for you to slip in a hand warmer. average retail around 40 bux
February 6, 2012 at 3:23 pm #1035886I have the 5 finger ice armor gloves they are warm, waterproof and not overly bulky. Been pretty happy with them.
February 6, 2012 at 4:19 pm #1035931Ice armors are all I’ll use. They’re fairly light weight, water proof (unless you stick your hand in the water past the cuff) and you still have decent sensativity.
February 6, 2012 at 5:10 pm #1035964I’ve got some degree of Raynaud’s and struggled with cold weather fishing to the point where my hands turn a real deep purple, my fingers pale white, and I lose any dexterity I had until they warm up.
I’ve yet to find a glove that lets me fish normal and still maintain good control while pitching etc, however the doctor recommended surgical gloves then thin jersey gloves over them.
It’s not perfect, but it definitely helps.
February 6, 2012 at 5:16 pm #1035969I’m old fashioned…still like the wool 1/2 gloves with the mitten to cover the finger tips when not in use…still keeps hands warm when a little wet…
February 6, 2012 at 5:45 pm #1035985I prefer mittens and a pair of thin gloves (at the same time) . When I use thick gloves, I can’t use my fingers anyway. Mittens do keep fingers warmer.

Ive read that surgical gloves help. Do you know why and does it help with more than one pair?

X2February 6, 2012 at 6:26 pm #1036009My brother-n-law is a funeral director and gets me the tough thin gloves they use. When trying to keep my hands dry, I wear them beneath my thin knit cotton gloves.
February 6, 2012 at 6:30 pm #1036010If it cant be done in jersey gloves, I dont do it.
February 6, 2012 at 7:34 pm #1036035I stick to jersey gloves mostly when fishing. A while back (over 2 yrs ago) I was at NorthernTool and they had some Youngstown winter waterproof gloves, they were closing them out so I bought 2 pairs. I am REALLY glad I did. I am still on the first pair and I use them for everything… daily wear, ice fishing, snowmobiling, snowblowing and any other outside work in the winter. They aren’t overly bulky and they keep my hands warm and dry and they have been amazingly durable.
You can still get them on Amazon…I think around $30 a pair.February 6, 2012 at 8:44 pm #1036067Frabill Task Glove.
I to have bad circulation and these are life savers. Of course my Raynaud’s is self diagnosed.

I bought a pair of these just before the holidays and used them for open water fishing below the Dells dam. I also used them for the two ice fishing ventures I went on this year.
So far, I’m very impressed with them. I’ll give them two big thumbs up! February 6, 2012 at 9:30 pm #1036081Quote:

Iowaeye not sure what size you wear but found thishttp://www.landmsupply.com/shop-by-brand/frabill-fishing-gloves-all-purpose-task-gloves
size L/XL only.. same price as gander with s/h but I’d rather give my money to smaller businesses
good luck.February 6, 2012 at 9:45 pm #1036085Quote:

February 6, 2012 at 9:47 pm #1036089You can get good inner gloves for a buck at the dollar store but I’ve had a little trouble finding leather chopper mittens on closeout to cover them.
February 6, 2012 at 11:43 pm #1036117Might not be much help other than a brand endorsement, but I got some clam ice armor mitts and have been very happy with them ice fishing. I usually take them off when I need to and put them on to warm them up.
My circulation is poor. Put it this way, on a rainy and windy 50 degree day they will feel frozen as the circulation starts getting cut off.
I guess I am assuming that if the clam mitts work well, their gloves should too.
Clam just called and asked that I stop endorsing them.
February 7, 2012 at 12:02 am #1036128deffinetly ice aromor gloves warm and when its real cold you can put a hand warmer in the pocket on top over your hand designed just for that
February 7, 2012 at 1:13 am #1036154Yellow chore gloves. Loose equals warm. Bring three pair.

This is my solution also. The surgical/latex gloves do not breath a lot, but because of this they also retain your heat. I also use the jerseys over them and bring several pairs (3/$1 at Menards several times a year) so I ALWAYS have dry gloves.

My right index finger was severed off and re-attached in my mid 20’s. Table saw won that one.
That finger is cold mid August if it is wet. I generally don’t have a problem with cold hands. But understand completely the frozen finger syndrome during winter open water fishing.
As most state in above post. Keep your hands dry is best advice. I’ll add that an aspirin taken every couple hours while out there helps me. Basically help with circulation and pain relief. Yea, that frozen finger feeling pretty much hurts all the time.
On real cold days, I’ll have several of those heat packs going all the time. Dry hand off after handling fish, then squeeze one in your pocket until warm. Keep one or even two at a time inside your glove.
It’s also kind of a mind over matter situation too. Just try to put it out of your mind, don’t dwel on it. At the end of the day, there is no damage.

February 8, 2012 at 1:51 am #1036508I also have Reynauds pretty bad in my hands and feet. In the spring and fall when its pretty cold in the mornings on the lake I use Ansell gloves along with surgical gloves underneath or use them with bigger, heavier gloves if its real cold. You can get them at Menards for about 4-5 dollars a pair. I use them for work all the time whether its warm or cold because you can maintain dexterity really well with them. When i’m out on the ice and not in a shelter, the ice armor gloves do ok for me, but I usually have to carry a buddy heater or my hand held turbo torch for a quick shot of heat to keep my hands warm. Yep, i’m a freezebaby.
