OK........time to retire my old Thinsulate shooting mittens.

Why?

Because they suck.

The concept of being able to slip the fingers out for a shot or a piss is great, but they don't keep my hands warm when it is cold and wet.

Ram told me to ask you guys what gloves I should get.

I've looked for about ten minutes and all I know is that some gloves are real expensive. I don't like those kind.

I considered some polypro liners under a neoprene glove.

What say you?

Stay inside where its warm.

My 5 YO son says he likes the ones with the Incredible Hulk on them. Maybe give them a try.....

hey 8track..........what kind of gloves do you wear while smoking cigars in your cold garage?????

sterno

Black ones.

My wife says they are anyway (I don't see color).

These look pretty groovy...not sure what you think to be cheap

^not cheap...but thanks for a constructive suggestion.

Andy,,

Check out Cabelas..

I'm sure they'll have something that will suit your needs.

wheel,

I have done away with gloves for deer hunting. Get one of them things the football players use! They are great! You can throw a few hand warmers in there, yer phone, whatever. Hands stay warm, easy to still shoot, and you don't have to fuss with gloves.

They come in various camo patterns.

Oh, constrctive help.

I have rather thick leather gloves with Thinsilate in them, but they are wearing out.

What's the budget?

hmm

#11........re: budget.......hard to say.

it seems that the "name brand" cold weather gloves (that are not "HUGE" are around $70.

I think that is too much.

I like leather. It's tough and it can be improved with proper treatment.

I'm gonna hit the surplus store soon........I am thinking....

THIN silk liner

Wool or Polypro liner over silk (GI stuff)

Leather or Neoprene shell. I like the idea of pulling the shell off for fine work.

Do you have an Army/Navy Surplus nearby?

yes!!

Andy,

I think "budgeting" would be a wise idea.

I do not know if you are aware, but there is still some what of an economic recession going on.

I bought an Army thermal long sleeve shirt. It shrunk quite a bit (like xxl to l) but it's also is awfully warm.

I don't know a lot about gloves, but I would give Army a look.

The army surplus store we have is OK......they have a lot of neat stuff, especially boot/shoe leather treatments that are a little harder to find.

Thing is......the days of going there to get cheap "surplus" seem to be over. I guess there really isn't much actual surplus any more. Most of their stuff isn't cheap.
