Anyone who frequents the "big forum" will have seen the threads re gloves. I can assure you i have tried them all, cheap and expensive. I found thr neoprene fingerless or fold back fingers are no good as your hand become cold when the water gets in , as it will. I have tried the Sealskins which are around £28 a pop , although they keep your hands dry they still get cold.

These are the ones I now wear, although they will get wet, even then they still keep your hand warm.

Alternatively you can not wear gloves as its not cool and moan like a wee girly about cold hands  :z4 :z4 :z4

Footjoy, thermal golf gloves do the trick, nice and warm and have obviously good 'feel' through the fingers.

In extreme cold conditions, a pair of fairly thin wool gloves with a pair of washing up gloves over them works very well indeed. Warm, dry and still a bit of feel ...... trouble is they don't look very trendy :z4

Perhaps replacing the old washing up gloves with some of these modern latex protective ones might do the trick :wink

Cheers

Tried a good few products and never found anything yet that does the trick, i just cant fish with gloves on, it seams to take the feel out of the whole thing  :z8
Especially fishing buzzers in the winter, i just have to have the most feel that my fingers will give me!
Trying to have a super smooth slow figure of 8 with gloves on just doesnt work!

I fished in -4c on sunday ,wearing half a pair of simmsn fingerless with another half pair of orvis fingerless ,both fleece ,and both slightly loose fitting .
with a pre leaving home dose of Norwegian formula hand cream ,hands stayed reasonably warm ,the simms hand possibly slightly warmer ,then they are ten years younger .
Just cant get on with the neoprene ones ,never felt good on me , so as not to be brandist , i have been happy with some snobee fingerless fleece ones but the Orvis and simms being loose fitting seem to have the edge .
