If anyone’s looking for some cheap solid cold weather shooting gloves, I just used this combo yesterday while coyote hunting in North Dakota. It was -18 with a wind chill that made it feel like -40.
I paired the Brushed tricot huntsman pop top mittens from scheels ($34 dollars) with a very thin waterproof layering glove from runnings ($5). I added the layering glove to help protect from the wind chill and to say it did awesome would be an understatement. I hate wearing gloves for anything and especially hate it for shooting but these a surprisingly tolerable. Running a call is no issue either. They’re not bulky like a lot of mittens and gloves can be. The also have zippers to put hand warmers in but I didn’t need them.
Prior to this, I used Sitka pantanal GTX Gloves ($140-150 dollars) and they were just okay in windy conditions. My fingers still got cold and shooting with them flat out sucked! Even running a ecaller remote was a bit of a pain with these gloves. I was so annoyed with them after two sets that I put on the brushed tricot gloves and planned on my hands just freezing. But altleast I would be able to operate my gun and call. I was pleasantly surprised that my hands never got cold for the remainder of the day. I’m sold on these for the remainder of the winter.
