Fingerless Gloves
- Thread starter Kersnow

Chester Jeffries were AFAIK the last people to offer them - but they seem to have folded, despite having made the best shooting-gloves (leather, silk-lined - not stalking-gloves) available in the UK.
Not sure whether they are still being made. I have a pair in use, which are still just about functional despite many repairs - and a spare pair in a drawer somewhere.

Love them! As said, have 6 pairs to see me out until I’m underground. Best stalking gloves made

That's the type I meant
Not sure if mine are Jack Pyke, but same as your photo, whatever.

I use a pair of sealskinz shooting gloves which have the trigger finger and thumb ‘fold back’ feature on both hands.
Not the warmest on the fingers but I don’t tend to struggle with cold fingers anyhow.

Aldi tend to do this type in the winter, I normally buy a few pairs when then do.

My favourite are the Sealszkinz fingerless ones that have a mitt that is held back by a magnet but can be popped over your fingers if it gets proper cold under £40 here Sealskinz Unisex Walpole Windproof Cold Weather Convertible Mitt in Olive / Black (S)
If it's very wet I wear more waterproof Sealksinz shooting glove with the trigger finger that magnets back

Another vote for mittens with a flap over. I find it's easy to just expose your trigger finger if needs be whilst keeping the others in the warm. I used windproof Lowe Alpine ones for ages, but I've just bought a pair of the Sealskinz ones after seeing them in a shop. They've got little magnets that hold the flaps, whereas the Lowe Alpine ones have velcro which is noisy and picks up all manner of crap.
Real wool and do not take them off if they get wet ( even to wring them out ) Unless you have a spare dry pair ready to put on , this is because real wool insulates even when wet so long as you keep them on after a soaking . Fake sythetic wool doesn't work.

I bought a merino pair in olive green off eBay for about £14 and they still look pretty much new even after 18 months. When it's really cold I pair them with some surplus gortex mittens that have elastic to keep them on my wrists. Best of both worlds then, super warm, waterproof, high dexterity. Ticks all the boxes which you never will with just one pair of gloves.

Did the same with Snowbee fleecy mitts, great, but - they did stop making them! Down to 3 1/2 pairs, but should see me out!
