Honestly, a snug fit can be tricky in really cold weather. It can feel warm at first but then your hands get clammy. Has anyone tried gloves with vents?
I heard about those! Vented gloves could help manage temperature, but can they really keep the warmth locked in when it’s super cold? I’m skeptical.
For me, a little loss in flexibility is worth it for warmth. If my hands are cold, nothing else matters during a hunt!
Completely agree. But I also wonder, how do some hunters manage to grip their weapons while wearing thick gloves? Is there a technique?
I think finding the right gloves is a journey. Sometimes, I just end up bringing multiple pairs and switching them out! It’s amusing when you realize your hands are wearing different gloves.
Haha, I can relate! It’s like my own personal glove experiment every season. I just wish it didn’t take so many tries to find the perfect balance between warmth and flexibility!
I find that layering gloves is the best strategy for warmth. Start with a lightweight liner, like the Magid 404 series, and pair it with insulated outer gloves. The liners keep your hands dry, while the outer gloves provide insulation.
Great tips! I usually go for the Seirus Innovation gloves for the outer layer; they’re super warm but flexible enough for shooting.
Another good option for liners is the Under Armour base layer gloves. They fit snugly and are moisture-wicking, adding another layer of warmth without bulk.

I’ve used those! They work great, but I also prefer the Cabela’s Extreme Cold Weather Gloves as my outer layer. They really hold up in freezing temperatures!
I haven’t tried Cabela’s yet. Do they fit well for those who have larger hands? I’m always looking for comfortable options.
Absolutely! Cabela’s Extreme Cold Weather Gloves come in larger sizes. Just ensure to get a good fit for optimal warmth.

Thanks! I was hesitant because many brands don’t cater to big hands. What’s the best way to keep your fingers warm when layering?
Try to avoid tight-fitting gloves when layering, as it can cut off circulation. Opt for a slightly looser fit in your outer layer for better warmth. That’s crucial for keeping fingers warm!

Can you even have too many layers? I sometimes feel like a Michelin Man with all these gloves on! What’s the balance here?

Haha, I feel that! Layering is key, but keep it practical. You want warmth without sacrificing dexterity. Simple is sometimes better!
Does anyone have a recommendation for gloves with touch-screen capability? I love staying connected but don’t want to freeze my fingers off.
Yes! The L.L.Bean All-Weather gloves have been great for me. They’re warm and allow for touch-screen use without exposing your hands to the cold.
