Cold weather gloves

[Conman243]

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.

One Finger Mittens - 827- T

Popular for their warmth and versatility, this mitt is great for hunting and shooting, or working in cold weather. This mitten is lined with Thinsualte Insulation and has elastic sewn across the back and a bound wrist.

Buy the thinsulate rather than than fleece lining. $41, good to zero

Thanks but I need all 5 fingers available.

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.

Everyone should own a pair of Kinco 1927kw. Buy a can of snoseal and you’ll end up with a phenomenal winter glove (that fits really well) for $40ish bucks.

Missed the part about you looking for a shooting glove…

The Final Rise “field gloves” look pretty slick.

0-32 degrees, usually walking instead of sitting still.

My setup for cold weather hunting is a super thin liner glove with Kinco mittens. If I was bird hunting I would try the same setup. Plus a muff. My trigger hand I would have the mitten off most of the time with that hand in the muff.

Most of the time if I’m walking I don’t even need mittens. Those are more when stopping to glass/scan. Or it’s cold like -10* or lower.

Most gloves that are warm suck for dexterity.

They suck

For snowboarding I’ve used North Face E tip gloves and then oversized mittens/gloves over if more warmth is needed. Usually the E tips are good well into the 20’s and for short times colder. A two glove system might be ideal.
