Fingerless Gloves

[Kersnow]

I dont like wearing gloves to shoot in but I now get problems with my fingers in cold weather.

Have tried hand warmers but am now looking looking for a pair of warm, finger less gloves.

Any recommendations? TIA

I quite like neoprene gloves where you can velcro back the thumb and first 2 fingers. They are usually advertised as neoprene fishing gloves.

Handy when you need to maintain dexterity.

I wear a pair of woollen knitted fingerless gloves when it gets cold in the winter. If I'm sitting up a highseat or on a field edge where I won't be moving much I also wear a thin pair of full finger gloves underneath them made of meraklon. They're thin enough to provide good trigger control but give a bit of extra warmth.

Another tip is to wear wrist covers or get gloves that are long enough to go back over the wrists, this will help keep your hands/fingers warm.

Neoprene folding fingerless gloves are great until you wipe your nose with the back of your hand on a cold night getting the Velcro scratch.

Regardless of how painful it is - you just can’t help doing it over and over again.

I'm a fan of these too - mine are made by Barbour. If it's very cold, I tend to wear mitts over the top, which are removed to shoot.

I have knitted fingerless gloves, like the traditional hunting / riding ones but green. I like those a lot

These ones. I have tried a few different gloves and never found better, other than Sealskins, but they aren’t nearly as hardwearing

I should add that I also use Millar Mitts (cotton palm, woollen back and wrist) on the range in winter - but for hind-stalking and other wet activities, I find the cotton part rather chilly. Wet wool seems to insulate better than wet cotton.

Have got a pair of noble wilde polyprop merino gloves - very warm, even when wet, and the polyprop makes them more durable than plain wool.

Not that grippy on wooden stocks, but fine on my symthetic stocks.

I have fleecy fingerless glove mittens. The mitten bit that covers all fingers folds back to reveal fingerless gloves beneath. They cost about six quid and I really like them. I think bushwear do something similar, but probably more expensive.

I suffer with the cold making my hands painful, and can well recommend the beretta polartec wind pro gloves.
The index fingers only have a Velcro back tip for the trigger, very grippy palm, and also work on touchscreen phones. Not waterproof, but if it’s wet out, I’m normally tucked up in the dry. I’ll do cold, I don’t do wet.

Millar Mitts? They did work well in the late 80's which was the last time I saw them for sale. can't find any theses days.

Try a pair of sheepskin mittens, cut across the palm of the trigger hand. When your hand is ‘balled’ they are the warmest thing you can wear, when you need more you can release all four fingers.

I do this with gloves, but just cut across the trigger finger. Easy to bend your finger and get it out when needed.

Eh, take one glove off before you shoot. Works fine even in the shittiest of conditions.

 

[Kersnow]

thanks all will have a look on line

I like the deerhunter soft touch gloves. The thumb and index fingers bend back and hold with Velcro.

This is what you want, the Millar mitt. I have 6 pairs just in case they stop making them!
