Winter Gloves

[Ronin]

Sat Ina high seat for a couple hours this morning reflecting on how I might entice some blood into my ice cold hands despite wearing Norrona Recon gloves (Whixh are approx ten years old now and seen better days)

I began to think a new pair of suitable waterproofness, insulation and yet thin enough to have sensory contact with trigger

Does this unicorn exist

Sealskins perhaps but having had a lifetime of issued gloves from this manufacturer I’d prefer something else within reasonable cost parameters of course

Get 2x electric hand warmers. Put 1 in each pocket.
If your using a smock with a central chest pocket a freezer block heated up or a small hot water bottle works well.
I use block when sitting out for fox's.

These are phenomenal value for the quality and worth a punt.
Mine are 5 years old but brilliant.
275 5 star reviews and I think a handful of bad ones.Not bad for £15.
If you pm your address Ill send you a pair to try.
I get them free off my nephew and they all use them at his work place.

Forget gloves. What you need is an Ansitzsac. These are what they use in subzero temps on the continent. You get into them at the high seat. They keep you toasty warm, and keep the weather out. If your core and legs are warm the rest stays warm.

As for gloves Hestra Hunters Gauntlets are very good.

Hestra gloves are expensive but worth every penny. Nothing worse than being stuck outdoors and being cold (except being outdoors, cold and soaking wet!).

I’m a big believer in good boots and good gloves - everything else you can just layer up on.

 

[Mr Tree]

Seallskins are good, with the flip back mittens, wear some silk or merino wool cyclist gloves underneath them in extreme cold.

if you fancy a stalking bag, have a look at these

Have you always wanted a thermal cloak but been scared off by the price? This is an excellent choice for e.g. deer hunting when it is Finland cold.

the company has some good stuff and reasonable prices and the delivery times are great

Going to get myself a pair.

 

[JTO]

Mittens are the only ones for me, fingerless with Thinsulate lined flap.
I got a pair of the largest sealskin gloves for filling out surveys, but they were tight on my fingers(most gloves are!).

[noncomplianz]

I use macwet and like them.

I was about to pull the trigger on some Norronas based on your recommendation!

Would you not just get another pair of those?

 

[Mungo]

Hestra gloves are expensive but worth every penny.

Sadly, like so many other brands, this is no longer entirely true.

As is so often the case, as they’ve got more popular and expanded production, the quality has recently taken a dive. I had a pair that started going at the seams after 18 months of medium use.

I still have a much older pair, and the difference in quality between the old and new is very obvious.

I'm using some super thin heated gloves which can be entered in whatever larger gloves

Except for electrically heated models there is no glove that will do what you're looking for. I've tried a lot and spent a fortune - for nothing.
I've settled on simple soft leather gloves with woollen lining. The type you would normally wear in town. They resist the wind chill and prevent my fingers from instantly freezing to ice blocks whenever I pick up the binos or touch the rifle. Plus they are tactile enough to shoot with them.
In order to keep my hands warm I stick them into the chest pockets of my jackets with the gloves on. The jackets/coats I use in winter get an extra lining in those pockets, preferably made of fur.

 

[Donkey Basher]

I’m a bit ‘old skool’ - I have various pairs from Deerhunter & Sealskin that I’ve worn when it’s been really cold, ie heavy frost, snow, arctic winds, etc but for everyday use I have a pair of thick woollen fingerless gloves that have a long cuff that goes up over my wrist. These can be augmented by using thin liner gloves underneath if necessary.

 

[morrisman]

Don't get Macwet whatever you do. I've got a pair and they're the coldest gloves that I have come across, maybe good in the Summer but,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

[paulbshooting]

Tried a few and back to sealskins, the ones with the mitten fold over top. For the rest of the year, I use macwet climtex long cuff gloves

 

[5MM/.20Man]

Macwet gloves act as another layer of skin . I load pellets into my HW100 mag with those on my hands.
Sealskin gloves havent given me any problems i wear them in winter . They have the fingers that fold back .
