Winter Gloves

[Mr Tree]

The best gloves I ever used are these! Beeswift Freezer Gloves One Piece Back Yellow (Box of 10)
Bit of a handful, but warm as toast, just cut a slot on your trigger finger. I use them all the time on the farm, for barbed wire, hammer blows, lovely soft pig skin leather & lined. I do an awful lot of cycling years ago, when winter nights were freezing, never complained.

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.

Sad to hear that!

Cutting corners through cheaper production really sends the quality of the product through the floor.

To be fair i've only ever had the 'older' stock which I cannot fault.

Thabks all

Some really useful input

Will explore and get back with how I’ve gone on

Decent gloves but now always use chemical “Hottie” tea bab sized hand warmers, good for 6-7 hours

Tried to post earlier and failed. Like the OP I've grown weary of gloves that leak within months of use. I have the dual layer ex-Army MTP gauntlets for real atrocious weather but they are not really a practical solution for rifle handling. I have Harkila, Seeland, Kuiu, Sealskinz and others that leak! I have invested in some Kuiu Expedition gloves for Scottish Winters (sale price only) "Toray's Primeflex 4-way stretch fabric combined with the totally waterproof HDry Membrane and durable Pittards Oiltec leather palm make the Expedition Glove great for late-season active use" but have yet to practically try them. We'll see if the statement is really true.......................

However, as I've grown older I've found our that our elders were not wrong with their fingerless gauntlets that covered the wrists so I've been using these Extremities wrist gaitors and whilst my hands have got wet in less waterproof gloves, my fingers have stayed warm. Like @Tazz I now too carry packs of hand warmers around in my stalking trouser pockets and if the sit-out is getting cold or the weather takes a turn for the worst, these too work very well.

Merino wool fingerless gloves inside army surplus gortex mittens. The mittens have an elastic band holding them to your wrist so when it's time to shoot just shake the mittens off and you have full dexterity.

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

For high Seat work in below zero temperatures I recommend the following
Your normal choice of thin shooting glove with chemical Hothand type disposable heat pack stuffed in palm. Then Mittens used for Skidoos worn over the top, many different types available and not crazy money.

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.

On the quad collecting shot pheasants, I always wore ski-boarding gloves, not much good for trigger use, though! Puntgunners rarely wore gloves, they just plunged their hands into water and let them dry off in the wind. I think it improves circulation, perhaps. It certainly works!

 

[FISH BOY]

Laksen Moscow.

If it’s real cold (sub zero) put some disposable heat pads in them at the wrist.

 

[Disco Stu]

I have some sealskinz gloves and I wear a pair or two of disposable medical gloves underneath if the weather is bad. Keeps my hands warm and dry. For long waits I have some German army goretex mitts that clip to my cuffs and slip off for shooting. The mitts are also good while on the quad.

Agreed.
I wear these at work. They blow my sealskin gloves out the water at a fraction of the cost. I only wish they made them in a drab colour. Currently on my third pair. Highly recommended.

Best of both, warmth of a mitt until it's trigger time then I poke a finger out of the flap, or flap over and all ends are out if needed.
Lots of makes, styles & materials to choose from. Get them big enough to get liner gloves under them (merino preferred) without being too tight.
After that it’s stuff you already know, overlapping alternate layers to cut draughts especially at neck & wrists - nowt better than long arms on a merino thermal with thumb loops - mountain warehouse get my money most years!

I rate my sealskins. But they come out only when it’s really cold. The MacWet are bough for me generally. Even when wet they offer protection against the elements and the best dexterity.

Has anyone tried the Sealskin heated gloves?

 

[Cyres]

I use this handwarmer which I found in Ian Hodges.

Rechargeable lifesystem hand warmers for me - they'll change your life Or at least your foxing / highseat experience! I think they were about £20 for a pair off Amazon and recharge off a USB.

 

[RM100]

I lost the right hand glove of my Sealskinz, they are great just not terribly warm.

Anyhoo, I might get lucky and find them (again).

In the meantime, I ordered some Decathlon ones that look rather good, and a bit warmer.

Promising times!
