Gloves

[Mark K]

I am having terrible problems with my hands in cold weather and it hasn't even gotten that cold yet. Any paticularly good gloves out there?

I alway wore a pair of Poly glove liners when out wading. They allowed me to tie a knot and kept my hands warm also.

I use some fingerless fleece gloves for the sorta chilly season and neoprene gloves for the cold season. I think I got the neoprene gloves ("Glacier Gloves" comes to mind) at Bass Pro. They have slits in the thumb and pointer finger so you can pull the tips of those fingers out and tie knots etc. Although the neoprene gloves work okay, I still don't have a GREAT solution. My hands still get cold and sometimes they need a little warm up (usually sticking the bare hands in the ol' armpits.) Maybe if I stick my lure there it will work as well as garlic-flavored plastics???

 

Okay, never type after coming home from the friday night pub...

Fingerless are out of the question. I was thinking about those glacier gloves. Think I have a better shot of tying knots with mittens on than my fingers when they are exposed to cold. It's gotten flat out painful and my fingers are so stiff I can hardly move them.

I picked up some really nice gloves from wal mart. They are Rocky hunting gloves. They are a lot like baseball batting gloves. I bought them extra small so they would fit tight on my hands. The palms of the gloves seem to have just a slight tack to them. So far, I love them. I think they were around $12. I will post a pic of a smallmouth where I am wearing the gloves.

 

 

here they are:

Kind of hard to focus on the gloves when you're holding a nice smallie!

 

Doesn't the tighter fit hamper your circulation?

Steve:

 

The gloves are not that tight that they cut off circulation. They are just right. They have a velcro tightner on each wrist. Real nice! It will be interesting when it gets colder to see if they can keep my hands warm. I do know one thing, they are easy to fish with.

Nice fish! I couldn't think of a better way to model those gloves. Wal Mart should take note
