Well winter is around the corner and I am in need of new wether proof yet cumfy hunting gloves…. Any suggestions?
 
I’ve had sealskinz which were so so. Last year I just rotated 2 pairs of thinsulate gloves if one set got wet.

Really tempted by the Kuiu stuff though

A cheap pair of fleece mittens like these are as good as anything, and cheap enough to have a spare pair in your pocket for when the first pair gets wet:
 
As I suspected….. tried most of the above without “real” results…… I’ll keep on using the second pair philosophy
Thanks for all the replies
 
Just ordered today myself a pair of Hestra Biathlons from a Norwegian supplier .
 
Soldier 95 leather goretex pattern gloves from fleabay. Around £25 last time I looked, for warm, dry hands.
 
I still use Macwets - definitely NOT waterproof, but I treat each pair (repeatedly!) with Fabsil waterproofer. They eventually get wet, but I carry a spare pair, and very little that I've found so far betters them for 'feel' when you're shooting with rifle or shotgun.

Those work very well as long as it’s not pouring rain. 👍
 
Old Wildfowling trick. Dip your hands in cold water, and then start moving. Hands quickly warm up and then stay warm. If your body core is warm, they stay warm.

I love handwarmer type pockets on coats. The ones on your chest like the old barbours.

If its really cold I use a pair of Hestra’s with thin silk liner gloves. The later allow you a lot of dexterity for doing little jobs.

And keep your gloves warm and dry when you are moving hard. This avoids them getting soaked with sweat, or have two pairs. Thin ones for moving / wet work. And a big pair for warmth when stationary.

And mittens will always be warmer than gloves.

This definitely works ^^^
If you've got an outdoor cold tap on your house, run your hands under it as soon as you go outside on a frosty morning, then shake them about until dry. They'll be toasty all day, provided that you're reasonably active.

And this:
mittens will always be warmer than gloves.
