Gloves To Keep Hands Warm During Winter Fishing...

[flyfshn]

Searched for the answer to this question in the archives, but could not find it....what is the best way to keep your hands warm during winter fishing? Assuming it is a good pair of gloves, but what type/brand?

I have been using a pair of gloves designed for playing football in cold weather. Reebok made mine, but all the major sports brands have something similar.

I wear wool fingerless gloves that have a pullover mitten. Also have the straight fingerless ones. If I am stripping line in cold weather. I'll sometimes were latex gloves underneath.

I just got a pair of these last month and they work great the best I have ever found and you cant beat the price.Now if I could only find away to keep the ice off the guides on my rods.

I use a pair of fingerless polar fleece. They were an Orvis brand I got on closeout. Simms sells something similar though.

It is a tradeoff, but I can still fish in those.

I use the Simms WINDSTOPPER fleece with the open finger tips.Thin,a good feel,and warm.Works for me.

Windstopper _ expensive fleece but the best. Simms very good but youd expectme to say that.

The killer on your fingers is getting wet then the evaporation etc from wind. Yep your fingers are going to get wet, expecially if your guiding trying to keep the clients warm.

But the windstopper block the wind chill. Just wring the gloves out put em back on and away you go

In cold weather :cold:I love the Simms gloves which have the fold over to make into a mitten. Another big help in the winter is to take along some hand warmer packs you can find at Wally World. Activate them stick in your coat pocket or wear them between the top of your hand and your glove.

Biggest trick I know is to keep thos gloves dry or have at least one pair as backups

I take several pairs of Jersey gloves. They are cheap and easy to find. Plus you dont loose anything if you have to cut a hook out.
