Warm gloves you can actually fish in.

I've tried a bunch of different gloves over the years for cold weather fishing, and they're either not warm enough, or warm but lack the needed dexterity and/or grip. These Ninja Ice gloves from MCR Safety are the best I've found. I fished all day in 'em last Wednsday with temps in the 30's and my hands were toasty all day. They offer good dexterity for gloves this warm, and provide great grip, wet or dry. Price is right too at less than $10 a pair.

I ordered a couple more pairs online, and while shopping, I came accross the fully dipped version below and ordered a couple pairs of them for cold and wet days. I'll report back on the full dipped after I get a chance to fish in them.

If y'all have some gloves you like for fishing in the cold, share 'em with us here.

Thanks for that. ?Brian.

This is what I usually do:

I will cut the fingers and thumb out of pair of warm (but comfortable) gloves.
Then, if its not warm enough, I will add hand warmers in the glove, on top of the hands.

...I also have a heavy insulated gloves for driving and just not fishing time.

Extra large latex gloves with a hand warmer in the palm does the job for me.  Have extras gloves since they often tear.  But these look interesting- thanks for the tip.

I will admit that I do not wear gloves while fishing, ever.  But I could never quite understand the point of the "fingerless gloves" concept.  My fingers are the part that gets cold the easiest, not the actual hands.

Warm gloves cut off fingers

 

P.S (i would highly discourage wearing latex gloves under neath Commonly and for long periods of time, this is how people develop latex allergies.

I forgot the brand but they’re are cut off type of glove and mitt at the same time. In addition the mitt part can fold back and expose the cutoff glove. Even with the mitt over the cuttoff, you can still reel. I will expose my thumb with casting gear. Bird’s nest suck undoing and suck even more when it’s freezing so I take every precaution to minimize that occurrence. 

 

These are great but from my experience, when you start fishing in the teens and below, it really doesn’t matter what glove you have. Without some type of warmer, your hands will get cold, feel frozen and stiff. Fish tough or stay home. ‘Nuff said.

Those are called glomitts.

It's prevents the loss of heat from my left hand to 20 degree reels while palming them.

Yes it does. Half finger gloves also help keep your fingertips warm to a point. That point for me is in the 40's if it's not real windy. There comes a point, which will be different for each of us, that insulated full fingers are a must.

The gloves in my OP are the first that I've found that kept my fingers truly comfortable in fairly windy 30's, allow me to operate a baitcaster without issue, and give me a rock solid grip. All at a price anyone can afford. I thought they were worth sharing, but I'm also interested in seeing what has worked for y'all. I don't quit fishing until icy ramps shut me down, and I get back after it at ice out, so good gloves for the task are definitely something that interest me.

Who's reimbursing me for all the money this place and you guys cost me?   Glenn? ?

 

Seriously though, thanks......was going to start a thread about this the other day but got distracted.

 

I'll buy these for sure.

Fish Monkey. This brand doesn't have seams sewn in at cutoff points like the FM gloves do. These are cut resistant insulated work gloves that just happen to work well for cold weather fishing.

So you're saying that your hands get cold first, not your fingers.  It's the complete opposite for me.

I used to wear neoprene gloves while working outside at my last job.  I was pleasantly surprised by these.  Bought them two years ago and they have held up well.

Thanks! Knowing my usual reverse thinking I might have called them mitgloves, lol. 

I'll be interested in your report on the dipped gloves. Whether or not they are waterproof and the dexterity; can you tie a palomar knot or open a snap?

 

I wear nitrile down to about 40 and need glove liners under the nitrile below that,

I wear gloves for work as well.  These have been my dexterity gloves for the last 6-7 years (2 pairs and they're currently shredded) and are good not great, reasonable not affordable.  There are compromises and I somewhat recommend but haven't found better yet.  Fishing; I can manipulate everything well except I tie knots or pick backlashes bare handed.  I'm probably gonna grab another pair for this winter.

Yes. But if I keep my head, feet, and core warm I'm normally bare handed unless it's very windy. I do wear full fingered hunting gloves while running the Mercury.

I take them off for tying knots etc. Too bulky for that.

They're nice gloves. I have a pair, but I don't think they're worth the price.

It doesn't get as cold here as it does in many places.  I haven't found gloves I can fish in.  I keep a hand warmer in each pocket and stick my hands in to warm them occasionally.  It takes a bit for my body to adjust though.  The first time in the fall/winter in get's down in the 40's I nearly freeze.  After a few weeks I'm OK.  Same with spring/summer.  The first time it gets to 75 or 80 I'm melting.   It was 23 degrees when I launched the boat the day this picture was taken.  The high was around 40.

Simms makes a really good gore-tex fold over 1/2 finger mitten.

Glacier Gloves Pro Anglers have been my favorite.  They are heavy duty and warm. Down side, it's hard to feel a fish bite.

For me, that's not a demerit.   That's a disqualifier.  I just put hand warmers in my pockets, because I've never found gloves that I felt I could fish with.  I'm ok with this method into the low 30s.  Any colder, and iced line is a bigger problem for me than cold hands.
