Thin gloves - what do you like?

<div class="bbWrapper">Black Diamond - Deploy Gloves. <br /> <br /> These were awesome replacements to my old Under Armor gloves. Under Armor liner gloves with the fleece thumb nose wipe used to be amazing. Then they shortened the wrist material that was perfect length, to basically stopping at the edge of your hand, so new versions suck. <br /> <br /> Stumbled on these Black Diamonds last year and now its back to being awesome. Not sure what you western guys do, but I can&#039;t exactly blow my nose with eastern whitetails feeding 20 yds away. Wiping your nose on a glove without that fleece area sucks big time after a few.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I have been using the Kuiu Ultra merino 210 fingerless gloves the last couple years.<br /> This fall will be their third season with them.<br /> Because I had the fingerless, last season I bought the full fingered version last year, but I haven’t used them yet as the fingerless were enough for me for the season.<br /> Not a great picture, but you can see the type of weather that I’ve hunted in wearing these.<br /> They seem to be holding up pretty well, and don’t look much different after two seasons.<br /> But I don’t think that you’re going to get ten years on a pair of merino wool liner gloves, and hunting hard with them.<br /> I just don’t think that is reasonable.<br /> I mostly still hunt in the thick, and close woods, and I pretty much wear these all the time, just to give you an idea of what they go through.<br /> <br /> <a href="https://rokslide.com/forums/attachments/img_6864-jpeg.1054923/" target="_blank"><img src="https://forumdata.rokslide.com/file/forumdata/data/attachments/1028/1028349-d3aa76133c653121e4ede45022c4eed4.jpg?hash=APaCn0eZZ-" class="bbImage " style="" alt="IMG_6864.jpeg" title="IMG_6864.jpeg" width="150" height="200" loading="lazy" /></a></div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Merino is not particularly abrasion resistant, I dont think you&#039;re going to get great durability from any lightweight merino glove relative to a different construction—regardless of who makes it. A nylon liner glove may wear a little longer. But in both cases I pretty quickly wear holes through the fabric inside the thumb and 1st finger. Mechanix gloves have good dexterity and are inexpensive, and wont abrade through as quickly, but they suck in the wet and dont dry quickly and the stitching blows out fairly fast. Inexpensive thin leather work gloves from home depot will last better and provide great protection in brush and briars but require some waterproofing and take forever to dry. Functionally I actually like the el cheapo, thinnest ones better than more expensive leather. At $10-15/pair I go into the store and try them all on and buy the 4 or 5 pairs that fit me best, and Im set for a while. A wool or nylon liner inside an oversized leather glove is pretty good in colder wx. Good for day trips but not so good for backpacking. At some point gloves are a consumable, and if you really want the merino or nylon liner you just have to put up with the short lifespan.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Since no one is talking about weather proof I&#039;d suggest maybe a hyflex glove. Rubber coated palm, fabric backed. Maximum dexterity and grippy. Double up for warmth</div>

 

[KoolBreeze]

<div class="bbWrapper">I really like the Sitka 330 merino gloves if I can also add in a muffin and chemical hand/body warmers as needed, which is almost always.</div>

 

[Buckhead]

<div class="bbWrapper">Winter golf gloves. Not waterproof, but provide surprising warmth while maintaining touch sensation. Work great while shooting a rifle or shotgun. Usually offered in black</div>

 

[ElkRcool]

<div class="bbWrapper">I’m a no gloves kind of guy if I can be. I will only wear gloves if I have to.<br /> <br /> With that said I will tend to have a pair of belay gloves (made for ice climbing) at the bottom of my pack for winter hunts. They are Mountain Equipment, amazing quality and warm. My second go to is a Japanese fishing glove called Showa. It’s cheap, like $30, completely waterproof, insulated and has long cuffs that sinch down. I elk hunt/duck hunt/do everything in them if there is any precept. There is enough dexterity to work a gun too.</div>

 

[Whitefox82]

<div class="bbWrapper">Dipped nitrile work gloves. Great grip and dexterity, dry quickly, and cheap.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">i like the PIG tactical utility and their cold weather glove. the cold weather one has the nose wiper.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">The Blackovis Tuscarosa Merino gloves were my favorite for a liner and would add the San Juan fingerless over the top if needed. The tuscarosas were cheap and just worked for what I wanted. Looking for a replacement that doesn&#039;t break the bank.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I use the Kuiu Ultra merino fingerless gloves. They have worked well for me, durable for being so thin.</div>

[TheTone]

<div class="bbWrapper">Had a few pairs of older Sitka ones I really liked but the durability sucked, the prices climbed and they quit making them<br /> <br /> Last few years have been mechanix fast fit. <br /> <br /> I like lightweight gloves to not have a Velcro cuff. I’ve never understood the need and they just make noise taking them off</div>
