Megastink Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 I'm looking for a pair of tight, waterproof, gloves to wear when fishing. I have under Armour linear gloves but they aren't waterproof. I want something with dexterity and preferably without rubber palms. Am I asking to much??? Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted January 5, 2014 Super User Posted January 5, 2014 I've been know to wear latex gloves (type used for medical uses) under my "warm" gloves. Keep the hands dry and a good bit of digital dexterity is maintained. A-Jay Quote
hookset on 3 Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Megastink, here's what I use. Glacier Glove Waterproof Gloves I've had these for quite a few years and they work fine for me. Keeps me fishing when it's cold and wet. I use them in 40 degree plus weather. When I'm ice fishing,now that's different. I'm wearing Thinsulate Kombi Down Waterproof Ski Gloves. I don't need the dexterity of knot tying and changing lures. If so, I just take them off for a minute, maybe bait up with a shiner and put the ski gloves right back on. Let me know what you think.

camovan Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Check out neoprene dive gloves. They make a huge range of thicknesses from 1mm neoprene up to 9mm so you have a much better selection than the "fishing" neoprene gloves. 1 Quote
Koofy Smacker Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Closest I have found to what your asking is a pair of the Simms windstopper fold over mitts. They are fleece lined, and can convert from a mitt when running the boat to a fingerless, thumbless glove when fishing. Very very warm and while they are not completely waterproof I have yet to have one actually get wet on me even in the rain. They are very "water resistant" although it does not state it. Quote

Thanks for the suggestion but I'm not looking for a mitt. I want full coverage, no exposed skin, and be able to lip a bass without getting wet while also staying warm. I'm gonna look at this diving gloves. Thanks all! Keep the suggestions coming! Quote

Or, I've seen some gloves pre-fabricated with this feature - check those out. Quote
