It may seem strange but for years now I have used cloth gloves from Damart thermolactal ribbed they are quite thin and about £12 a pair they get wet through crawling etc but give feel on the trigger etc and I have used them on the hill as well as game shooting two or three pairs go to Scotland with me and dried out overnight

I have some Sealskins shooting gloves with the fold back trigger finger. I do like them & at about £40 they are not too expensive.

Try a couple of pairs of fingerless gloves about £3.50.

I have a pair of Jack Pyke Neoprene gloves with fold back trigger finger. They are reasonably priced.
I got mind at a local outdoor clothing shop.

Hunting,

I'll second .25-06's suggestion. I've had a pair of the fingerless glove / mits for about three years now and they've been great.

I've had a couple of pairs of expensive fleece and goretex gloves for climbing and skiing and they've all leaked and let me down eventually. The wool ones don't claim to be wind or water proof but they stay warm when wet. Unless you're stalking in really extreme conditions I'd save some cash and go for the old school solution.

Cheers,

Bob

I have just started using the sealskinz shooting gloves - two issues with them so far

1) the liner isn't stitched to the finger ends so pulls out. Really annoying if you just want to take a glove off for a couple of seconds to do a fiddly task.

2) and this is probably my fault. If you need to put your hands in flowing water it comes in through the trigger finger and the gloves take a long time to get warm again.

I might go back to wearing flying gloves with fingerless wooly gloves on top

Knitted wool (as opposed to polyester) seems to me to stay warm and relatively comfortable even when wet through.

I therefore wear knitted woollen fingerless gloves made by Barbour.

Buy two pairs, though: they need to dry out gently (rather than on a radiator, for example) to avoid shrinking.

Hi,
have been using fingerless gloves for years and have no complaints. A good squeeze dries them out. I have a pair of army surplus mitts to go over the top of the fingerless gloves when it is really cold/ lying waiting for beasts to stand or when driving the quad in cold winds.

I was given a pair of sealskinz and experienced the problems discussed above when hill stalking. Think they would be spot on if woodland stalking or at a pheasant shoot.

I have all sorts of gloves but I keep favouring Thinsulate shooters mitts (£5 a pair).

I modified one pair by stitching a slit in the thumb so that I could reload mags without taking the mitt off but, after they fell apart due to snagging and general abuse, I never bothered again as they are easy enough to remove.

I bought a pair[h=1]JACK PYKE Hunters Mitten in English Oak or Olive[/h]very good value at £18.95 from http://www.surplusandadventure.com/...ck-pyke-hunters-mitten-in-english-521133.html

I find they are much warmer than gloves especially when sitting in a high seat for long periods and yet quick to fold back and expose gloved fingers and fingerless trigger finger.

watch out on the sizing on the seal skinz...they come up very small and cut of the blood circulation to the fingers ....which somewhat defeats the purpose of keeping your hands warm!
