I've seen vids of a well known high bird shooter who just uses work gloves, thin material, tight fitting but with grip. I'd consider wearing nitrile gloves, as they at least keep hands dry.
I have MacWet gloves, but if they don't fit your hands snugly they're a pest. I also have Sealskinz with fold back trigger fingers, but the leather in the grip area isnt grippy enough.

Macwets for me.
Yep the Laksens are good. I use them if I am going to be a little more static.
If I am on the move, I still use an ancient pair of leather femetta gloves. Really my favourite gloves in terms of fit and dexterity retention.

I concur.
Just put them on BEFORE your hands get wet. They are nigh on impossible to get on with wet hands.
The right size is 1/2 size smaller than you normally get. They are excellent gloves when tight.

I purchased a couple of pairs of green neoprene gloves from Aldi last autumn ...They have a sort of fleece lining, grips on finger tips and at £4.99 a pair..cheap as chips
Can't wear them. Just don't seem to have the feel if I wear gloves. I've got a couple of pairs I've tried, but although I guess it's okay when all is sorted ready to fire, I'd have to take them off to find rounds to reload, get anything out of a pocket, look at my 'phone, pick my nose etc. Even when standing in a windswept, cold and wet field with a shotgun, wondering if the beaters have nipped off home, I still can't get on with wearing a pair. So my hands end up freezing. Or they take it in turns to be in a pocket. Then I get the chance of a shot and I'm all fingers and thumbs. Hey ho.

One should only buy these to fit in with the crowd.

Whats the intended use? for game shooting stood on a peg its Macwet gloves. For stalking in the cold I like the thicker military surplus leather ones that are lined, far to thick to pull the trigger with so once the shots on i loose the glove. I find the gloves with slots to get your trigger finger out our too much of a fiddle. Sat up a very cold highseat I've some Austrian military surplus mittens that are roasty toasty...
These are warmer than you'd think because they cover the wrist, though not waterproof, and give quite a good sense of touch.

As well as suffering from jacketitis, I have the same affliction in gloves. When it's warm I wear fingerless gloves. For shotgun work I have fingerless gloves with a folding back mitt. When it's cold I wear mitts and take the right mitt off once I'm in a firing position.
