Title: Fingerless gloves
Post by: stripernut on Oct 20, 2018, 09:31 PM
I am a big fan of fingerless gloves and now that it is getting a bit nippy again... I have been digging up my different pairs. I have found over the years that Windproof Fleece works the best and last the longest. I have a pair (my first) from Orvis that are about 20 years old and they look it... I also have a pair of Simms and they are great. The problem with both of those gloves is the price, upwards of $50, worth it to keep my hands warm, but like all gloves, to easy to lose... Well I just got a pair of Glacier Glove Windproof Fleece Fingerless Glove and they look really good, but best of all I got them from the Giant retailer with prime shipping for under $15. I am ordering more now that I have gotten a look at them... As friends that fish with me can attest, I always carry an extra pair for them!

I wear these, prefer them over ragg wool.

My simms glomits are not warm enough for ice fishing.   They don't work well for winter steelhead, but are nice for spring and fall.  There is just no way to trap enough warm air in fabric that thin.

++1  I've got a few pair. Get them wet, you still don't freeze.

I have had ones like that before, but without the windproof fleece, they are not warm enough...

I had the simms wool fingerless gloves and loved them, prob was they shrunk overtime I might buy another pair but found a substitute from Filson I like them a lot, was also looking at the ones made from buffalo wool but not sure they are worth 100 dollars, the regular filsons seem well made though.

I found these while doing a search for flip gloves. I wounder how they would work for ice fishing.

I got a pair of cheapo from wallyworld and still using it after all these years.  It's one of those fleece that is water proof.  So fleece comfort is fine, but breathability is on the low end.  tough enough that it resists hook points.

It's fine as long as I don't get it wet or I don't sweat all clammy.

I got a pair of more comfy Manzella brand but they're are not wind proof nor water proof.  Comfort is awesome but that's about it.  Very easy to bury a hook point into material though.

I've been using the wool fingerless gloves from the Army/Navy store..  I find them to be warm and very cheap in price too...
All WOOL....    To be precise, "Keefer's Army/Navy"
