Looking for cold weather gloves with high enough dexterity to work a firearm, especially older shotguns with smaller buttons and safeties on them. I shoot older o/u’s a lot and the rear safety can be a bear.

Everywhere I go I’m constantly trying on every pair of gloves on the rack. I don’t know who buys them because 90 percent of them feel like garbage. My biggest complaint is usually with the fingertip design and seams.

Have had decent luck with the Scheels upland leather gloves, Kinco insulated deerskin (warm but lower dexterity), and current favorite Pnuma vintis (higher dexterity but can get cold).

Looking at a pair of Hestra Tricots, Hestra Wakayma, and MOGG cold weather gloves.

Open to suggestions.
 
Buy the thinsulate rather than than fleece lining. $41, good to zero
 
I used to wear blackhawk cold weather patrol gloves duck hunting (latex and neoprene) and they were pretty good expecially if you put on nitrile gloves with them. My kuiu's aren't bad and I've heard the cold weather mechanix gloves aren't bad.
 
What’s “cold weather”?
When I used to hunt caribou in the winter we used big mitts with small Helly Hansen cloth gloves on for shooting. Field dressing was never an issue staying warm but the ride home could be brutal. This hunt was regularly -35 or colder. Just like the rest of the body if you can layer it works great and just remove the mitt off one hand before shooting and the thin gloves prevent that instant burn from cold steel.
