For me its just man up and get on with it!
Cant be doing with any gloves on my hands when fishing, if anything i would have some hand warmers to warm my hands up if it was that cold!

Gloves are like spectacles and condoms - blokes don't like to wear them but when you HAVE too them must be comfortable and functional.

I've tried a few types over the decades and am happy with my simms fingerless ones



Don't like wearing them (when fishing) except in the coldest of conditions.

Hi there,

I personally think the best gloves that you can get full stop are the Seal Skinz ultragrip waterproof glove. They are 100% water and windproof, they are tight fitting and are dexterous, really good. I have fished in mine, and also use them as winter mountineering gloves ( if the weather is not to terrible!), always kept my hands warm.

Never liked the Sealskinz, nor any neoprene gloves.what I wear now are fingerless woollen gloves, they obviouslly get wet, but still retain the heat.

I like the sealskinz too. However, I have only used them when fly fishing for Pike so its large barbless hooks. Not sure how they would be with small barbed flies?

Many years ago when I used to do a lot of boat fishing for Cod, I would wear a pair of the blue food/surgical gloves on my hands, followed by woolen gloves, The blue gloves kept my hand dry and clean, and I could still tie knots etc, and the woolen gloves gave a bit of warmth but could be whipped off when a fish needed unhooking.

I have some Snobee neoprenes that are decent enough the fore fingers and thumbs are tipless for tying things up

I like my Orvis fingerless fleece gloves, they'll match your jacket Mike.

Yep, I am using the Orvis fingerless fleece gloves too ........ Liking them a lot

Don't think I'd go back to neoprene now.

Cass swears by her ones too, and swears at them.

[Derek Roxborough]

Not much good if you get them wet though, I have a pair of Orvis fleece Ok if you keep them dry, easgach1

[Ben Dixon]

Same as any fleece, wring it out if wet and it starts keeping you warm again unlike wool which, once wet keeps you cold if there is anything more than a slight chill breeze.

Pure wool keeps you warm when wet...just ask a sheep Add acrylic/nylon and its no where near as good. Merino gloves are the warmest when wet (tiz what mountaineers where)

[outspan001]

I use the merino wool liner gloves under my full winter mountain gloves i use for climbing Munros in the winter, which need a liner to be properly warm.

Never tried fishing in them though!

I would not bother, they get stretchy...lol. You end up with fingers like ET
