Anyone use these gloves?

If so how do they fit. Snug enough for archery and still plenty of dexterity and durability?
Not too warm?

I hunt western WA mostly and like to wear gloves while working my way through the forest especially when it gets thick.

I wear them. I don't do archery, but I can feed a cartridge into my bolt action with them on. I like the protection they offer when hiking. Definitely not too warm. I used them 2 weeks ago while mountain biking and scouting for my Elk hunt. It was crazy hot out...

The palm material is thicker than years past. I have an older pair in woodland camo that are far more dextrous but don't feel as "protective" to the hands.

I suspect you should be able to knock an arrow and clip in your release with them on ……..
 
I wear them at work and while bird hunting. You can get thin ones, insulated ones, etc. The thin ones have more dexterity, but I don't know how long they last.
 
I wear that exact glove, even in the summer when packing in for fishing, scouting, whatever. It protects you from rocks, sap, and UV rays, something important for us pale skinned Irishmen. I use them for work gloves during most camp chores when my others are drying out and so I don't wear holes in the more expensive hunting type gloves.
 
They work great for hiking , shed hunting , and camp chores . I use the ones without velcro, just elastic around the wrist . I don't use them while bow hunting I like no gloves at all when shooting my bow.
 
I have used them from 100 degrees in Texas to -10 in Colorado, I really like them. I use the originals in warm weather to get tight fit and buy larger and use a liner for cold weather. I used to hate wearing gloves, but I like these.
 
I have been shooting in the impact version and will be running these this year. I think they are like a more durable version of the Sitka shooter's glove. Normally wear XL. Went down a size in these to an L for snug fit.
 
Western WA guy too and I use these all the time. I have to replace them every year due to holes, but they run about $20, so no big deal. I can use both types of releases for this glove as well.
