Cold Weather Glove Recommendations?

[fishking247]

i have rather large hands (being 6'3"). i'm looking for a glove fairly easy to fish with. don't need anything to fancy but need something warm. any recomendations?

Fox Racing makes a great glove that is water resistant called the Antifreeze Glove. They're intended for winter motocross, but work very well and are not bulky.

I have tried many different fancier more expensive gloves over the years and have always come back to the basic brown jersey gloves. I can buy a 12 pair pack for $10 and take several pairs fishing in the cold weather, and just replace as they become wet, and they will become wet, but even damp they keep my hands pretty warm. They are easy to fish with on, and many times I will even tie knots without taking them off. Get home and throw them in the laundry and they are ready for the next trip.

Any problems casting? Are the fingers cut out or removable?

No problems casting whatsoever. I've learned to set my brakes instead of feathering on a cast.

The gloves are cut to naturally curve with the fingers instead of being flat. Very comfortable, and warm.

Down to the upper 20s I wear golf rain gloves. Below that I wear brown jersey beaded gloves for the gripping they provide. I carry extras so if I get some wet, I just pull out another pair. Like stated they are easy to clean (just toss them in the washing maching).

yes, the FootJoy rain soft are pretty good.....the winter soft is too.

Don't have a brand name for you but look for a pair of divers neoprene gloves with fold-back finger tips; I've been using the same pair for years now - they wear like iron. The neoprene is the same rubber as a divers wet suit.

The demo at a fishing expo convinced me, they had a cooler full of ice-water with pocket change ( nickles, dimes, and pennies ) in the bottom. They had you stick your hand in the water for some period of time and then told you to find a dime; but by that time your hand was so cold you could not feel anything. Then I did it all again with a glove on with no problem at all, I even keep my hand in longer than normal just to see the effect.

These gloves are thin so you can feel what your doing, and with the fingertips folded back I can tie any fishing knot on any lure I want.

Look for a Diver's Supply shop on-line, they will tell you how to size your hand for the best fit.

traveler..... do your hands sweat bad in those gloves? they sound top-notch.

Not that much, they have a fabric bonded to the inside that helps getting them on and off. But trapped moisture is part of how a wet-suit works. The neoprene is a tough rubber with very small air bubbles in it that make it supple, but it won't pass moisture like Gortex does.

Glacier Glove neopreme. I wear them for winter steelheading and cold weather bass. Pretty good product. TW has them.

Sealskinz.

Look them up on the Internet.

I don't fish with gloves. For running, I prefer basic cotton gloves.

Bring two pairs in case one gets wet!

OK, you made me go look at mine. Ya, that's them, the Pro Angler. Now to tell you how long they last, I got mine at the 2nd Richmond Bass Master Classic in 1989 (?) But I did have a fishing hiatus from 98 - 06 due to work travel, so they just sat in storage for those years; but I have used them each year from 06 on. Haven't used them yet this year, so this thread prompted me to go check them out, they're in excellent shape - ready to go.

Never need to worry about rain, snow, ice, etc. you can put your hands in ice cold water to pull a fish anytime you want.

I do believe these are the best outer wear investment I've ever made.

I use two different pairs. If I am fishing spinning gear, I use a pair of rag wool glo-mitts. they are very warm, and stay warm even when they get damp. If i am fishing with baitcasters, I have a pair of cabelas dry-plus silent suede gloves.

Bass Pro has the White River gloves I fish with. They have fingerless ones or ones with fingers that you can cut the index and thumb off so all your other fingers are covered. If it's cold and rainy I have a pair of neoprene Glacier Gloves that you can roll the index and thumb back and velcro. Great gloves and pretty reasonably priced, think I paid $30 and have had them for several seasons.

[fishking247]

Thanks for the replies guys. I am liking the sealskinz!

[Hi Salenity]

The White River gloves cost under $5. I'd advise you get a pair with and without fingers. They aren't perfect but if it's not too cold and you can keep your hands dry they work great.

[Flukeman]

Not sure if the white river gloves people are reffering to are the fleece gloves they sell.But I bought a pair of fingerless and full finger fleece gloves from BPS. My hands have never been cold since, they were on sale for 3.99 or 4.99 a pair last year when I got them. Even wet your hands stay warm. I also have a couple of pairs of neoprene gloves, but just don't like them.

Military nomex flight gloves. Warm and thin with leather on the palms and fingers. I can operate a baitcaster or spinning reel with no issues. I carry two pair to swap back and forth when they get wet, although even wet they perform well.

What happens when the leather gets wet, and then drys out?

I've never has problems with them shrinking down after drying and not returning to original size when I use them.

Yep, that's them. Forgot to add the price in my post, that's part of the reason I got them. They are very warm too, even the fingerless ones and even if they get wet.

Glacier Gloves with the fold over mitten are the best that I've found for winter canoe trips....Have at least one extra set in the with you and stuff a handwarmer pack in the back of the glove if its really cold.

[NorthernBasser]

Has anybody tried these gloves for cold-weather fishing?
