Title: SealSkinz gloves
Post by: James Laraway on 21/12/2016 at 10:42

For a few years now i have been using SealSkinz ultragrip gloves for my fishing as i can happily fly fish with them on.

i see they have a new set of gloves out called Dragon Eye gloves - has anyone tried fishing with them on ?

I use the sealskin shooting gloves as they have the fold back fore finger and thumb, which is handy when using a centrepin reel etc. However, they are most certainly not 100% waterproof and once wet, seem to go very cold.

I have to say I have found the Orvis fold over or fingerless fleece gloves to be just as good and a lot cheaper and often my first choice out the two. Even when wet, a quick wring out and they keep my hands warm.

I also have a sealskin "beanie" and again, disappointed in it. A cheap Thinsulate one is warmer and just as waterproof.

the good thing about the ultragrip gloves is they are fully fingered and yet you can fly fish with them on  - perfect for those autumn days out with a flyrod when you dont want the cold water pulled over your fingers :-)
