Best fishing gloves for cold weather?

[Glenn]

Simms ProDry Gloves.  They're 2 gloves-in-one. 

 

Outer is Goretex waterproof and warm - for driving down the lake. It has lambskin palms for gripping wet steering wheels.

 

Inner lining is fingerless, 100% merino wool, and has a heatpack pocket at the wrist.

 

Simms also has many other fingerless fishing gloves for cold weather.  Just go here.

For those that have the Monkey Half Wool, how is the sizing?  The sizes available is either S/M or L/XL.  My hands are M/L.  Which one should I go with?

On my fleece FM gloves measure my overall diameter of my palm & was 8.5" per sizing chart went large & they fit fine. Im on the other extreme as I would be irritated  if they were too tight & pain to get on & off.

I have the Gill Waterproof Gloves (sku 7500GS) and they're good for fishing but obviously not for tying knots and that sort of thing. Might be worth a shot.

I just bought these gloves today. They looked interesting and the 25% off sale helped also. 
I also found a cool hoodie (Dart Hoodie) so thanks jimanchower for helping me spend my money lol

I want to add just a little bit to this thread. I recently purchased the Glacier Glove Alaska River to give them a shot. I only bought them because I found them for $11 on ebay and thought I would give them a shot. Today was the first day I got to try them. It was 36 degrees when I got on the water and a slight breeze. These gloves were way better than I thought they would be. They were warm and when the wind did start blowing it appears as if these are going to be pretty well windproof. The palm is a neoprene material that I was worried about getting wet and being slick but it is not that way at all. They feel great and dry very quickly after handling a fish. I will have to put these through the paces more, but after one outing, I would give these a slight edge over the FM.

Good find. What size are you sporting in the pic?  Asking because even though my hands are average, I don't like tight gloves.

I went creek fishing for trout yesterday. 35° @2:00 and falling till dark. It rained and snowed. I tried some 2mil latex gloves with a liner glow over them. It worked for awhile but the hooks would get stuck in the gloves. I ended up just using the latex gloves. My hands were cold but not that bad because they were dry. Other guy’s hands that was with me were red and painful because his were wet. 
 

I just bought these but the fingers are 1” longer than my fingers so I don’t think they’ll work. Plus the outer layer is kind of fuzzy so I think the hooks will get stuck. https://www.gillfishing.com/waterproof-gloves/

I have these on my Amazon wish list for Christmas. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002N0KR5I/?coliid=I34UG8DNHNXSBT&colid=1YI87JHYJ9NFU&psc=1
I’m hopeful!?

Those are M and they might be a lil snug or it could just be the palm material makes them harder to get off as opposed to a normal glove. I don't really notice them being a little bit small till I take them off though. It could be my hands get a clamy or whatever as well.

Best I've found so far, and I had some cold exposure years ago that left my hands, ears, and sometimes toes very sensitive to cold:

 

NRS (kayak/paddling co) makes some very thin .5mm neoprene gloves. I really don't need insulation as much as I need the wind and water off my hands.

They are great, but order a size larger - for me if they are too snug my fingers don't get good circulation.

I thought I was going to have to cut the thumb out, but SV spools are like cheating, and the gloves were thin enough to be able to feather without a dead stop on the spool. Not perfect by any means, but good enough for now. I don't expect the neoprene will fray if I cut it.

Found them on sale somewhere for about $30.

Just dropped back in here by accident.  Thanks for posting up the NRS gloves Tex.

 

May try those too.

Bass Pro sells cheap fleece fingerless gloves for like 6 bucks. They're warm and stay warm even when they get a little wet. Buy 5 pairs and just rotate through them. I have tried a lot of different gloves and never found one that had a perfect match of warmth, waterproof, and dexterity. You're always gonna have to sacrifice on one is what I found. 

 

To me the ideal glove would be like a 1 or 2mm neoprene liner to keep out water and wind and then use a fleece fingerless glove over that. I haven't found a waterproof neoprene that is thin enough for my liking yet.

Hey MY85, try the 5mil vinyl gloves from Harbor Freight under the fingerless gloves.

Well I’m in for over $60 into gloves and still have nothing. 
The Gill gloves surface material snagged hooks big time. 
The Glacier gloves are to bulky to use while casting but should be good when paddling. 
still need something for fishing

Will the outer layer snag hooks?

Well now that’s a good idea

Like the disposable ones? I've thought about it but I use them at work sometimes and can't go more than an hour without my hands getting wet from sweat cause they don't breath at all. 

 

Those NRS gloves up above look kinda like what I'm after. I might have to try them. 

 

It's even crossed my mind to wrap something around the reel seat of my rod cause I feel like most days thats what sucks most of the heat out of my hands. It's one reason I've steered away from round reels for swimbait fishing. The large metal frames while nice suck heat much faster than a low profile with plastic sideplates.

If you're really having trouble, use athletic pre-wrap and double wide wrist bands to hold a hot hands warmer to the inside of your wrist and insulate it. They have adhesive versions but theyre 5x the price. Then latex and fingerless wool or neoprene, or full neoprene if its really cold.

No I don't think so. It isn't fuzzy, it feels more like canvas on the back of the glove.
