Thin gloves - what do you like?

[ionfender]

I’m looking for a new pair of light gloves…something close to a liner style glove. I run hot , so I tend to wear a light glove 90% of the time I’m in the field out west.

I’ve had a couple pair of a First Lite merino glove, but they wear out in a single season.

Looking for something more durable. What do you like?

Preferably merino with the ability to operate the phone’s touch screen.

I use the Black Ovis merino ones but they went out of business. Luckily I have several pairs from picking them up on sale. I have some older Kuiu merino that work well and seem a little more durable but not quite as soft

I have been using manzella usmc grip dot gloves for several years and like them. Reasonably priced and durable

Stone Glacier Chinook Merino gloves are an excellent, thin, liner type glove.

Though not merino, the thin mechanix gloves are cheap, easy, fairly durable, and my go to for almost anytime I want a thin glove. Better than merino in my opinion with the “mesh”like back.

Totally agree with this and I have them. Would just caution folks that they’re pure merino and not remotely waterproof. So if there’s any moisture — even just dew on plants — they do soak through quickly.

Mechanix gloves work well for me too...they are comfortable with good trigger feel for shooting, and aren't expensive to replace if they get lost/worn.

Deer or elk skin unlined roper gloves or similar. Thin, durable, very versatile.

That’s what I run as well, great for the arid west and sharp rocks, thorns etc

Yep. I went through a few pairs before I found the right blend of thickness, softness etc. but I wear these things constantly.
