cole weather hunting

[rickyp]

I have been looking for a good pair of hunting gloves but cannot find what I want.
I want something very warm, and does not interfere with my grip and trigger.
What I am using right now is a cheep pair of liners under a thinsulate pair of gloves. This setup is bulky and limits my movement. I have been thinking about a pair of 3 mm thick fleese lined neoprene water fowlers gloves with a second light liner. Any thoughts on this?

I have a pair of thinsulate fleece glove/mittens that the mitt end folds open to the back side of my hand. From Cabelas, very warm and functional.

Never found a good set up that was very warm and not bulky or restrictive in a pair of gloves.  So I've used a light pair of Bob Allen thinsulated shooting gloves which is fine for most dry days while moving around.  Going on stand I'll have a Fleece Muff and at times a handwarmer inside.  I'll also cary a heavy set of GORE-TEX/Thinsulated gloves in my pack for when it gets real down and nasty.... the kind of days when only hunters and golfers are enjoying the outdoors.

What works good for me down to about 10 degrees, is a pair of thin wool mittens where the mitten part folds back.  The gloves also have fingers like gloves when the mitten part is folded back.  The tip of the trigger finger is exposed.  But the key is to wear a thin polypropolyn (how do you spell that word) glove liner under the glove if it gets real cold.  This works for me, but my father in law tells me I am crazy and he is always cold, so I guess it depends on the person.

I use a thin pair of tight leather work gloves with the fingers cut out. Then I put on my "choppers", a leavy leather pair of mittens that are fleese lined and come up about halfway to my elbow. The cuffs are big enough to go over my coat. I can drop them off my hands with a flick of my wrists.  My fingers stay toasty warm unless it is well below zero and I am sitting still, then I drop in a disposable handwarmer in each one.

I find the hand warmers to work with a light pair of inner gloves and a thick pair of outer ones. I had a pair of Russian gloves that had 3 fingers on the outer pair,but they wore out! :cry:

For a number of years I used military surplus mitts with a trigger finger. They wore out amd I started using a handwarmer muff on my waist with with chemical warmers in it. I wear a thin pair of gloves for shooting and use the muff on stands. :excuseme:

When on stand, I wear half fingered wool gloves with a chemical heat warmer in each hand warmer pocket.  I just keep my hands in my pocket till a deer shows up.  
When walking around I use an insulated ski type glove on my non shooting hand to carry the gun and a lighter glove or the half fingered glove on my trigger hand.

I have tried the neoprene gloves and have not had good results, UNLESS, your hands are moving and creating some heat which the neoprene gloves will retain.  In most cases I use fingerless wool gloves with a outer mitten of some sort. Don't ask me why but my fingers stay warmer with the fingerless, than with full coverage liners. Or I may wear a heavy mitt on my off hand using, again, a fingerless wool glove on my shooting hand and stick it in my pocket to keep it warm. I have a pair of military surplus finger mits that I use but the finger is to bulky for us with the average gun. An option would be to cut the finger off and velcro it closed for access as needed. I have also used the fold back mitts but the part that folds back always seems to get in the way.

what i an now thinking about is getting a nice handmuff and keep a pocket warmer in it. and use my light fleese gloves

I've been hunting NW PA for 10 years now and just wear cotton gloves and keep them in a handmuff with handwarmers while on stand. They stay warm and work well when it's time to shoot.

I just hunt with cold hands unless I'm moving.

our big game is over in early Dec and it's not that cold yet.

a pair of cotton jersey's works ok most days. the mittens that fold back into fingerless gloves cut off the circulation in my hands, but my fingers are big so it may just be me.
