Waterproof warm gloves

[Tpmahler1]

I’m looking for a do it all option that isn’t super bulky. I want it to be waterproof and decently warm. I run hot natured but I haven’t found a good flavor for mid to late season without being a super bulky mitten. Any good ones out there?

I'm usually pretty cold blooded when hunting but my husband has gotten me the different levels of the Sitka gloves cause that's the only place I have found that I can get gloves small enough. The liner style ones, can't remember the name of them, are even decent enough in keeping my hands from freezing during late season rifle and sleek enough to shoot with them on. Even the next step up that's a bit more insulated and waterproof I can still shoot in comfortably. Not sure if that will help you at all but might be worth looking at
Good luck!

Yeah, you're looking for the same holy grail that has eluded all of us. The best compromise I've found are the Kuiu Axis gloves. They're only water resistant, but have the perfect balance of warmth and dexterity for bowhunting IMO. I coat them with several layers of DWR treatment, and switch pairs when one gets soaked. They provide the dexterity I need for nocking arrows and handling a release.

I bought a pair of Sitka Downpour gloves, but found them too bulky for bowhunting. For rifle hunting, they'd fit the bill nicely I think.

I knew it was like finding a unicorn but thought I’d try. Thanks!

Unicorn: Google ‘Showa Temres’. Really popular in the ultralight crowd, alpine climbers and adventurers here in Alaska.

Rapdom shooters mittens on ebay, unlike most are not bulky and waterproof windproof. Elk hunting last fall in the snow, sleeping at 10,000 ft would get stiff at night from moisture, never wet inside, put on in the morning heat from hands would soften, never had cold wet hands $20 Skinning and quartering elk in the dark and snow, that was another matter, need insulated surgeons gloves.

Stormy Kromer wool mits have been great for cold weather hunting.

I run chemical hand warmers with polar fleece mittens and
shell mittens I sewed from breathable waders.
Waterproof, wind proof, packs down to a tiny size.
Easy to slip out off and keep my hands toasty while glassing or driving the boat.

any other options

Wool gloves. They been around forever and still keep yer hands warm when wet.

I have regular and the ones where the mitten part flips back. The mitten ones are super warm.

You are looking for a unicorn. And you’ll spend more than its worth to trying to find it. All gloves fail. It’s best to have options and multiple pairs. I like a lightweight merino liner, heavier merino fingerless, mechanix gloves, and a glassing down mitt. If I knew it was going to be wet, I’d bring an over mitt. And then I have different glove options for the kill kit.

Most of the time its lightweight merino/merino fingerless. If going through brush, mechanix. If sitting, mitt. If wet, overmitt on top of merino.
