Gloves

My shooting hand fingers are tough to keep warm. It wasn't until I started using the disposable little chemical heaters inside the glove that I really was able to keep them warm. No more safety fumbles now. I think dude is asking for tougher rather than warmer gloves though.
 
Anyone try flocked lined latex gloves under a leather work glove? Should stop the wind, the flock lining would reduce sweating and the durability of a leather work glove is hard to beat.

I’ve used latex as liners for a while and the flock lining adds insulation as well. I’ve used this combination in the past for hunting, but it’s been a while. And I’m out of the flock lined gloves.

6 degrees and 35 mph winds last Thursday when we started hunting. You’re tougher than me if you do that gloveless.

I wouldn't even consider venturing out in that. I'd wait until he wind subsided.

I've hunted in temps below zero a few times but there was no wind.

I just picked up these last Friday and wore them through the rain/snow on Saturday and was quite impressed. Thin enough to manipulate everything yet kept my hands warm. https://www.scheels.com/p/04355203174

I have these but the previous year when they were all leather. Great fit, thin liner and move well. I went to SF Scheels on my last trip and the guy in store said theyve been redesigned. Big big mistake
 
I see Pyke has there gloves half off right now. I have not tried them, I general roll with the brown bulk gloves from TC, or any farm store. The Pyke stuff is always real high quality. It's made in America unlike the Kuiu and some other well know brands. I personally try to avoid supporting the CCP but sometimes it's unavoidable. I have the pants, hats, vest, and a few shirts all very well made. He makes most of the stuff in a rented garage in Spring Lake MI. I've been there. He also stands behind the products. It's not cheap but the old adage still stands you get what you pay for.
 
Golf gloves, or baseball batting gloves, work for me if I need gloves…otherwise I’ll carry the gun with one hand and keep the other hand in a vest pocket…I shoot right handed, so a glove on the left hand is logical and carry the gun with that hand and keep the right hand in vest pocket if it’s cold…had some cold temps in late January, below zero all day, golf gloves did the job…I buy blaze orange color…
 
I use either deer skin leather or Pyke Dakota gloves but in the last couple years they haven't been warm enough when it's really cold. I think it's a combination of taking blood thinners and arthritis and it's to the point where I quit shooting my double trigger shotguns and migrated to single trigger guns.
I bought a pair of the Hunt Monkey gloves described above but don't like them because of how the seams are formed in the fingers.
I need to find something with a little more insulation that is still thin enough that I can feel my shotgun and the safety
 
I got a pair of Winco Frost Breakers today. Work gloves for winter weather. Watched a video of a guy in Alaska and noticed he wears them on his camping trips in the dead of winter so I tried a pair out today and they were surprisingly flexible. Fingers and palm covered in some type of rubber coating. Very sticky. I think they will work well for hunting or camping in wet, cold weather. For $8 they're worth trying.

I believe golf gloves would be great to wear, I read someplace

I have used Footjoy rain golf gloves for years when the temps are above 25 degrees. Thin and they provide a good grip especially in the rain. If the temps are too cold, I insert handwarmers to provide heat. Plus, I am able to use the touchscreen of my GPS without having to remove a glove.
 
Best gloves I’d ever had were Cabelas kangaroo leather. They were awesome. Warm yet thin enough to use shooting and they let you feel the trigger. They seemed soft leather but lasted for years. I’d rabbit hunt from datbreak to days end every weekend and train dogs all year long. They got used lots. Was ticked when they stopped carrying them too
 
This is a great time of year to get new cold weather gear. Some nice sales going on right now. I ordered some new cold weather 3 fingered gloves today. Won't get used for bird hunting but they'll be great for hiking and camping in really cold weather.
