scugpg Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 I see there is a thread for boots, so I was wondering what you guys like for Winter gloves/mitts. I'd like something waterproof as well if you've seen them around.
gone_fishin Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 i've got a pair of Rocky gloves that have done the job for the last few years... waterproof, thinsulate, hunting/camo pattern... Very warm!
Muskieman Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 (edited) 14" Moosehide mitts , with shaved Wolf fur "Snotter" beaver fur lined 145.00$ custom made by Native artisan... very warm well worth the "$$" . Bought a unshaved Beaver Lined Wolf Fur hat with 10x6" flaps 125$ again well worth the $$. probably available at a "Trading Post" Great gloves are available at most snowmobile shops... leather gore-tex wind and water proof expect to pay around 75$. Mine are " Ski-Doo" branded but are probably the same as the others... I've had them for 5 years now and are still in great shape no unstitching or tearing... velcro strap is getting worn out though very warm. For added Impermeability spray on some "Boot Dressing" doesn't stain and works great. Stay Warm!!! RFS Edited October 17, 2009 by Randy from Sturgeon
ecmilley Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 i have used the combi glove available at ct, it has the removable wicking in it very warm also yamaha branded (fxr) snowmobile gloves and there warm, but at the same time i don't bother ice fishing and my snowmobile has heated bars my hands are rarely cold
bassjnkie Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 I have 2 sets of the Read Head gortex gloves, they are not too bulky, have thinsulate and are 100% waterproof.
Roy Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 "Trading Post" Stay Warm!!! RFS Is that the one on the north side of 17 before going into North Bay from Sturgeon?
Guest skeeter99 Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 wind river snowmobile gloves mark work warehouse leather mit with nylon insulated padded upper (glove goes halfway to elbow) they have a inside thinsilate glove that with put on then slide into the mit and it has the snot patch for the cold days I got mine for $45 or something
Bernie Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 The way I lose mitts? Something cheap with thinsulate will do.
troutologist Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 Watch MEC for sales....best ones I've ever found. Take these Liner Gloves Wear them inside these Mercury Mitts My hands get cold easily and these are far and away the best system for ice fishing, sledding and higher activity things like snowshoeing. You have a few options on how to wear them.
KelfuN Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 cheap dollar store ones for the fall and winter. they work great.
Sinker Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 Usually, I just wear the handknit wool trigger mitts. When it gets real cold, or I'm going a long way on the machine, I put on the moosehide cuffs, with pure marino wool liners in them. You can't beat wool, I don't care what you have. S.
crankbait Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 Check out some of the mitts meant for snowboarding/skiing and then combine it with a liner glove inside.
scugpg Posted October 18, 2009 Author Report Posted October 18, 2009 Thats great guys thanks for the replies. Going to check them out. Bought a pair of waterproof "sealskinz" gloves but I find once they get wet they aren't insulated so too cold for winter. Might just get some mitts to go overtop. http://www.sealskinz.com/cgi-bin/psProdDet...ser|1,0,0,1|53|
Beans Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 My wife bought me a pair of white gloves from the Regal catalogue that have a mettalic thread woven through them...makes them warm from friction and are nice and sparkly (like Michael Jackson's )...I wear them inside a pair of water-proof HT Enterprises Polar Liner Mitts that I got from Le Baron's ($20)...the mitts are easy to shake free from when I get a bite...
lew Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 I used to do alot of winter mountain biking and found the Lobster mitts to be the best choice, both for dexterity & warmth. Their as warm as good snowmobile mitts but the extra finger makes it easier for changing gears & working the brakes. Actually makes doing just about anything easier than mitts. I don't ride anymore but still use the mitts all the time even when just hiking thru the woods with the pooch on cold days. The good ones are expensive but worth every penny. Just something else to think about.
