Phoenix Guy Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 What do you use? I need something I can get used to using quickly. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted January 4, 2014 Global Moderator Posted January 4, 2014 White River fingerless fleece gloves are the best way to go that I've found. For about $6 a pair I carry a few of them and change them out if one gets wet. Even without the finger tips they keep my hands warm in anything I'm willing to fish in. I have a pair of the full gloves also for when I'm making a run somewhere. 1 Quote
Super User Oregon Native Posted January 4, 2014 Super User Posted January 4, 2014 Pair of fingerless with a large handwarmer in each front pocket. Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted January 4, 2014 Super User Posted January 4, 2014 Pair of fingerless with a large handwarmer in each front pocket. X2 - been using fingerless ragwool gloves for many years now. We fish from ice out to ice up and these provide heat retention even when wet. Having the chemical hand warmers in each pocket enhanses this cold water fishing. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted January 4, 2014 Super User Posted January 4, 2014 I keep two pairs of gloves on the boat when it's cold...............the same two I use for ice fising. I have a heavy insulated pair that I use when motoring from spot to spot, and a light weight pair that I use when fishing, fingerless gloves have always felt strange to me. If it's really cold, I 'll have some of the warming packets in my pocket. Quote
BenB54 Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 I like using these winter golf gloves. They are tight fitting and they have good grip when holding a rod and reel. Being from Texas though, I never fish any extremely cold temps. Quote
Super User bigbill Posted January 4, 2014 Super User Posted January 4, 2014 I was using ice fishing gloves for the first few trips out many years ago. But this morning at just 2 degrees below zero with an expected 20 degree high for the day needless to say I won't be tanning today. On the dirtbike and motorcycle in 10 degree weather I wore leather mittens with fur inside plus those danger thin insulated gloves inside the mittens. These were the only glove setup that worked for us in cold weather. But now we need water proof warm gloves. I'm not sure how warm the ice fishing gloves will be at the colder temps. Quote

I have a pair of the full gloves also for when I'm making a run somewhere. X's 2 picked up a pair of these @ bass pro and they are nice. They dry out pretty quick as well. If its real cold I'll wear my old gloves from when i played football. They are pretty thin which allows for tying and thumbing a spool when casting. And put the fingerless gloves on top of these. Waaaaaarm! Quote
NC_Bass6 Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 I use glacier gloves with flaps to pull back the tip of the thumb and pointer finger. The coldest ive fished is only 25 degrees but theyve held up well and I would recommend them to anyone. Quote
tbone1993 Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 I use these http://www.seirus.com/tactical-detail/1657/?ltag=tactical-ByTag/gloves/ because they are thin. I want to try using fingerless gloves though. Quote
Super User NorcalBassin Posted January 11, 2014 Super User Posted January 11, 2014 I'm a big fan of Simms' gear and love their Windstopper Foldover Mitt. While you're cruising out at high speeds they're windproof mittens and then when you need to get your fingers out they fold back and out of the way to be fingerless. You can also choose to just cover your ring and pinky fingers or any other combination based on your needs. They're expensive but my hands have never been happier in the cold. Quote
Joshua Vandamm Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 That time of year...what gloves are the best for fall/winter these days? looking for dexterity/warmth/optional fingers specifically. Quote
Super User Deleted account Posted October 29, 2017 Super User Posted October 29, 2017 No gloves, I break out the reels with plastic sideplates in the winter. Quote
Russ E Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 I bought these on Amazon, to keep the gill plates of white bass and wipers from shredding my hands. they are advertised to be breathable , but I found they keep my hands surprisingly warm when it is cold out. they are now my cold weather fishing gloves. https://www.amazon.com/Goture-Anti-slip-Waterproof-Skidproof-Fingerless/dp/B017IES48K/ref=sr_1_1?s=hunting-fishing&ie=UTF8&qid=1509328577&sr=1-1&refinements=p_4%3AGoture 1 Quote
Super User the reel ess Posted October 31, 2017 Super User Posted October 31, 2017 I have these: http://www.cabelas.com/product/CABELAS-GUIDEWEAR-GLOMITT-GLOVE/2435081.uts?productVariantId=4951547&WT.tsrc=PPC&WT.mc_id=GoogleProductAds&WT.z_mc_id1=04656679&rid=20&lsft=ref:212,loc:1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwvuDPBRDnARIsAGhuAmb2wQmsIuQbnax3htphuKI5cfeEQ1efWJquRnUFEDsjfpmNFkqyeOsaAs9LEALw_wcB I like them a lot. I wouldn't wear them in sub-freezing temps. But I probably wouldn't fish then either. 1 Quote

Super User Cgolf Posted November 1, 2017 Super User Posted November 1, 2017 I think for some of us, there is no perfect glove. I must have poor circulation in my hands because they get cold with anything other than mittens. To fish I just use the fingerless gloves and have to use the hand warmers every 10 minutes or so to get feeling back in my hands. I did try a pair of nitrile gloves under the fingerless gloves this morning with a wind chill of 18 and temp of 28 and got cold hands in 10 minutes. What I need is thin heated gloves like the socks they make. Quote
Super User Further North Posted November 1, 2017 Super User Posted November 1, 2017 As mentioned back in 2014, Simms tends to lead the pack on this sort of thing as long as spending a little money isn't an impediment to your comfort. I have several different pairs of their gloves that I use, depending on temperature and conditions. Fly fishermen...particularly those that fish cold weather conditions like steelhead have put a lot of thought into this over the years and Simms has several versions of gloves that get the job done...but you could spend $80 on them at the high end... Kast gloves are also worth a look, I'm putting a pair through their paces this fall and am happy so far, though they are more for the runs between spots than actual fishing. 2 minutes ago, cgolf said: I think for some of us, there is no perfect glove.

Super User NHBull Posted November 1, 2017 Super User Posted November 1, 2017 Thin Nordic gloves with a couple tips cut off. Butt, toe heaters on the back of the hand where blood flow is increased. If blood flow is increased, you don't need much. Truth be told, I tested electric vest for Northface that superheated the core and gloves were almost unnecessary....... Quote
Super User Further North Posted November 1, 2017 Super User Posted November 1, 2017 ...and wear a good hat. Keeping your head warm is a good part of keeping the rest of you warm. 2 minutes ago, NHBull said: Truth be told, I tested electric vest for Northface that superheated the core and gloves were almost unnecessary....... If you focus on keeping your core (thighs to shoulders) and your head warm, keeping your fingers warm gets a lot easier. Quote
Joshua Vandamm Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 I have a nice pair of Seirus gloves for kayaking. Kinda hesitant to cut the fingers out. Might try cutting slits in them. Also considering Simms. Quote
