Gloves for cold weather fishing?

[FishTank]

Do you guys have any suggestions for gloves for fishing in cold weather?  I need to replace my old ones and I can't find any like it.  I thought this would be a good gift for my wife to get me for Christmas.

Yea me to. My left hand gets so cold it will bring tears to my eyes. I have tried

every kind of glove you can think of and nothing works. I thought they would

have some electric gloves by know. :-[

I use the following 2......

I have a pair of seal skinz gloves, they aren't too bad. They keep your hands dry and are not too thick thus allowing a little feel. You will not be able to tie thin line or anything that requires dexterity in these gloves. I ususally only use these gloves if it is REALLY cold, say around or below freezing.

Above freezing temps I use a pair or wool gloves (no felt liners PLAIN WOOL) with the fingers cut off. These keep my hands warm as I grip a reel or rod plus they will retain their heat even when wet.

I'm lucky.....my hands don't get cold easily, either that or I tolerate the cold a little more than some others. I spend a fair amount of time steelhead fishing when it is snowing, windy, around freezing temps. May I add that when temps are that cold I usually also have a disposable handwarmer in a pocket so that if my hands do get cold I can quickly warm them up.

This is what works for me, hope you find your solution.

 If you like the idea of wool gloves, go to Army Surplus and get glove inserts. Found out about them when I was in the Army. Usually inexpensive and work great...

I have tried all of them and nothing works. It's only my left hand and only when

I am driving the boat. I have to stop and get my heater out and warm it and then start back on my way. I have tried hand warmers in my gloves and I have

even covered my hand in Vaseline. Just don't know :-[ I thought there might be some electric gloves around, like the socks they make where you put a battery in.

I've found that multiple gloves is the best bet.  They WILL get wet so have a dry pair (or 3 or 4) ready to go

I have a pair of the Bass Pro Fishing gloves (Neoprene with the long cuffs and cut out fingers). These work great when coupled with a light pair of windstopper gloves underneath (got them at REI).

I run wide open in the cold, and this combo works great.

Seal Skinz work the best for me and they are waterproof.  They also have little rubber dots on the palm and finger for gripping.   8-)

When fishing I use some moto cross gloves keeps the wind off and I can cast my BC but for extreme weather I use good ski gloves spyder.

I don't know how cold it gets in your area, but these are what I use

http://www.cabelas.com/spodw-1/0000312.shtml

They are mittens that fold back to reveal slits for the fingers. They keep your fingers warm and they don't interfere with cast.  They kick fanny even in sub freezing weather. I plan to use mine this weekend for some chum salmon combat.  8-)

When motoring I wear some wind proof gloves and a wind proof hood that I found at Target.  When the boat is stopped I only wear rain proof gloves or beaded jerseys.  I carry multiple pairs of each.

I use the fold-back mittens by Remington and slip out index fingers. These mittens have leather patches on the palms, and 1/2 the thumb also folds back. In extreme cold you can slip a "shake-to-activate" hand warmer in the top half of the mitten. They are a bit bulky, but warm.

Here are two choices for heated gloves----

Holy cow nothing worked to keep my hands warm today 30 degrees sucks :'(

[frogtog]

Thanks Wayne P. that is what I was looking. $249. bucks sounds high but I'm

going to try them.

Yeah, I hear you! I fished in 33 degree weather this morning.  The mittens I use keep most of the cold at bay but the extremities that are exposed do get cold. And the only thing that alleviates it is caught fish.  How? You tend to forget how fickin cold it is.  ;D

I HATE wearing gloves while fishing, so the only gloves I will tolerate have to be very subtle without any stiffness at all (which rules out neoprene and many of the "fishing" gloves sold).  

The absolute best pair I've found to date is a pair of thin, super-soft Italian leather gloves with a thin wool lining.   They're very warm, thin, soft, and it almost feels like I'm not wearing them.  Plus, they're pretty much waterproof....especially treated with some Bees Wax.  

So don't limit yourself to "fishing" gloves....you might find what you really like at some fashion department store.... ;D

The shooting glove is a little bulkier but does have the advantage of an open finger when needed. I prefer the Stretch glove for fishing and using a wool glove over it when traveling from spot to spot.

I have a pair of Timberland half-finger gloves that I have been using for years.  I don't thnk they make them anymore though.  They are windstopper fleece (similar to Polartec 100) with some sort of soft rubber grip in the palm (Vibram?).  I fish all winter on power plant lakes here and often in sub-freezing temps.  In extreme cold I wear a thin pair of polypropelene liners (full-finger) underneath them and couple that with the disposable hand warmers in the pockets.  I haven't had frostbite yet and have fished many tournies when the line freezes to the guides ALL day.  Good luck on your search.

The UA Stretch glove is what I wear under my pair of gloves from Cabelas.  I don't know what they're called, but they are $30, thin, warm, and they have Gore-Tex.  The entire combo was $55 but kept me warm all the time.  I have used this combo for over a year now and they still haven't worn out on me.

Same here, I usually just use the Mechanix gloves or the Hot Hands packs in my pockets.

These gloves work well while fishing with spinning gear, and somewhat functional for baitcasting.
