Ice gloves

normally I wear wool, but unless I take them off I always seem to snag a hook into them and have to cut the hook out, what do you guys recommend and why?

Brown Cotton gloves for $1.09 at the local gas station/WalMart. When they get wet, replace from the Dry bag. If they fall apart throw them away!!! I looked at the clam skinz and those seem nice, but for $35, not sure I can’t do as well for $1.09!!!

Clam skinz are nice but they are made for people with long skinny fingers.

that leave me with my fat stubby fingers out

Brown jersey gloves. Over sized chopper mitts and a hand warmer in each. This is perfect. I’ll take off one completely when I bring a fish up. Hold the fish in the hand with the chopper glove on. Unhook fish with the hand that has chopper glove and jersey glove removed. Gloves stay dry all day. The chopper mitt won’t soak through.

Do a search. There’s dozens of posts with dozens of responses each. Lots of good info in there.

Just bought the stricken ice gloves, they did very well

Time will tell if they hold up

I bought a pair of those $16 0Celcius neoprene gloves and so far they’ve worked great. Like most neoprene things, it sort of feels like water gets through them even though it doesn’t. For $16 I doubt they’re all that durable, but time will tell.

I’m a mail carrier so I had to do a bunch of experimenting before finding a combination that didn’t limit dexterity and keep my fingers warm.

I use nitrile gloves as my first layer and then put on different types of gloves with the fingers dipped in rubber or something like it. If it’s bitterly cold I’ll add fingerless wool gloves as well.

The nitrile gloves underneath are cold at first but since you are constantly moving your hands they’ll warm up on their own. If I leave my hands sit motionless they will get cold fairly quick. The key is to keep moving your hands to keep the blood flow going. I’ll use the same system when I’m fishing. When I’m walking out or drilling holes, cleaning holes, I have on a pair of ski gloves.
