Gloves?

[Matthew2000]

Anybody have any suggestions on gloves for fishing? 

 

-Need something that is both Waterproof and able to withstand the cold. 

-Must be able to actually fish comfortably with, No bulky gloves. 

-Reasonable price, Nothing really over $60

 

Also any tips on keeping your hands and feet warm while fishing in the winter?

I don't know about gloves, but if I were to do a good amount of cold water fishing I would invest in either Carhart bibs or waders.  And Duck Boots, they're as stylish as they are warm. 

 

BTW, you haven't been around in a while.  I figured you quit fishing and started bowling. 

[Matthew2000]

I'm covered on clothing i have bibs and jackets made for duck hunting. But my hunting gloves don't work quite as well on a bait caster as they do with my 12 Gauge. I tried going bare and just using hand warmers but those got wet fairly quickly and were useless after that. I would never wear waders while fishing though, If you fall in with waders on chances are your not coming back up alive.

I been fishing (& working) out in the cold for a long time.  And by "Cold" for me than means right at or below 32 degree air temp (with or without wind chill)

 

The characteristics that keep hands warm & dry usually make them tough to fish with.

 

Most gloves that keep you warm & dry that are in the low & medium price bracket are usually a little bulky.

 

Some of the more expensive models (which are close to or past your $60 limit) have managed to blend warm & dry with comfort for fishing.

 

For something other than finesse - neoprene works well & is usually reasonably priced.

 

The Simms G4 - is The Best I've found, unfortunately they are twice the price you noted in your post.

Warm lined golf gloves.  Spray them with a waterproofing spray...

I have some bass pro neoprene gloves that work pretty well. I put a hot hands handwarmer down each glove if its really cold - something I learned from ice fishing.

Honestly wool gloves i think are the best, they are cheap and even when wet they still keep you warm

I don't use wool but the BPS White River fleece fingerless gloves are about $7 a pair and I've fished in them down to single digit temps and been fine. I carry a few pairs so if one pair gets really wet I can change to a dry pair. BPS sell neoprene gloves with finger tips that roll back but I prefer the fleece ones unless I'm netting bait for wipers.

Seems like most can agree on wool gloves. I've been wanting to buy the Simms Pro gloves for awhile now. $100, but that includes two gloves I believe...the outer glove is for the boat ride. I like the ones A-jay posted too.

I've tried many gloves, but I've stuck with the "Glacier Glove Alaska River Flip Mitt." 

 

They're basically fingerless gloves with neoprene palms and a flip over mitten. The mitten is really useful as you can put a hand warmer in it and flip it up if your hands start getting cold, but it's out of the way while fishing. They're inexpensive too. $25 retail, or cheaper if you shop around. The pair I'm using right now is on it's 3rd season, and I fish a lot in the winter. I can drive the boat with the mittens flipped down too.

Found some really lite gloves that feel like underarmour at Academy last winter.  I also keep hand warmers in each front pocket of sweatshirt or jacket.  This combination has kept hands on this ol man warm all winter in ice and snow.

I use a pair of what are called "fold back mittens"

I found them cruising the aisle of a Dicks last last year.

The thumb and 4 fingers have a foldable flap that folds back and can be tucked in out of the way for casting, and then folded back over when not.

For very cold days I use a small hand warmer in my palm..

I purchased 1,000 gram insulated boots from sportsmans guide. I use ice fishing gloves. The insulated bib, jacket,

One piece suit was from spg, cabelas, bps on clearance after hunting season was over sale. Purchased Rocky and carhartt socks at dicks sporting goods on sale. The old one piece trap door underwear as a first layer is a good idea.

[Preytorien]

I use the open finger Cabela's Guidewear fishing gloves. They're warm and have windproof material, which is a big deal. The only problem, which is one with most gloves, is that if you're using braid, it'll soak the ends of your thumb and pointer finger so you might want to find something waterproof too.

I just use wool fingerless gloves made by Icebreaker while fishing and deal with the cold. I don't like wearing gloves while casting.

For the times your not fishing, gloves made for mountaineering and alpine climbing are the best. They're going to be waterproof and the warmest gloves you can get.

Look into some ua gloves they make a ton of options

[JGBassinAL]

These are by far my favorite when temps get down below the 30's:

Anything above the 30's and I use these:

You would be amazed at how warm these keep your hands.

I would never wear waders while fishing though, If you fall in with waders on chances are your not coming back up alive. 

 

 

Waders are fine for tromping around creeks and around farm ponds, but if you're in a boat, kayak, ect in deep water they are far from ideal.

Latex gloves under a cheapo pair of hunting gloves with the fingers cut off.

Glacier glove ice bay gloves if it's REALLY cold.

[WRB]

Glacier Glove Alaska River Fingerless gloves are good and cost about $18 a pair.

We don't need gloves very often, these work good when needed.

Not waterproof but I have a pair of Under Armour gloves I found at DSG with a flush rubber webbing into the fabric that don't hinder thumbing a spool. Also allow you to use touch screen devices without having to take them off. They're the middle model of cold colder and coldest. Pretty warm and comfortable so far. Don't know the model of them but it's the only style they were carrying from them when I went.

[ClackerBuzz]

buy multiple pairs of wool fingerless gloves with fold over mitten.  i found them at Kmart for $6 a pair. just like ones below.  as mentioned they stay warm even when wet.

Glacier Glove - I have 3 pairs of them.  Different weights depending on how cold it is outside.

Under Armour fleece liner good for 40-50 degree temps - not waterproof.

Newest acquisition is the Simms ExStream glove (expensive but worth it if you fish in the cold) - very warm, fleece lined, thumb & index finger fold back so you can tie knots and stuff.  They don't have the best grip on them though and given the fold back fingers, they're not waterproof but are resistant to precip (rain/snow).

 

Finding the perfect fishing glove is tough to do.  I have like 5 different pairs and keep all of them on board during the winter.

When you solve the glove and clothing problems, just be sure to wear your PFD.  As my son always tells me, it makes it a lot easier to find the body.
