Quality ragg wool gloves?

[bare foot wader]

my old gloves finally fell apart a couple years ago, seems like I had them at least 10 years, no clue who made them and everything I've found in stores is no where near the same quality...I do have some other good gloves, but I want another good pair of ragg wool flip overs, looking at ordering the orvis gloves

any other options?

Check the shipping, $8 + another 185 + exchange rate = they better be some darn good.

I think you'll be pretty close to $70+

Ultra expensive, but these are the best foldover mitts on the market.

I've got some folder over ragwool/merino/alpaca mitts I got at Marks Work Wearhouse and they've been awesome. When it's super cold that's what I wear steelheading.

Work great for ice fishing as well.!!!

Have you tried these? In trying to find gloves that double for fall and ice fishing. Considered these, the kast gloves or wool gloves like listed in the first post.

[BillM]

You aren't steelheading with Kast gloves unless you're two handing.

Don't forget that gloves with magnetic clasps will interfere with a compass.

[bare foot wader]

the orvis are pricey, especially after shipping and duty, holding out so far

 

my old gloves were seriously thick knitted wool, were fairly water resistant and blocked the wind

 

the magnet on the orvis is an interesting feature, don't use whip out a compass too often fishing, but definitely something to keep in mind

 

I have seal skinz and kast gloves that I wear with liners, fleece flip overs (not the simms model though), crappy wool fingerless gloves...my old wool flip overs were the best for cold weather, gonna be hard to replace, no clue where I bought them though

 

the fox river double wool mitts look pretty good and cheaper

I had a pair of 7 virgin wool mitts from down home. They could be frozen from wetness. I put my hands in them and in no time,my hands were warm.

[Sinker]

Yes sir! Thats all I wear! Double knit oversized, and washed in hot water to shrink them tight! People laugh at my "mittens" on the ice all the time until they see how hot my hands are! Dont forget the trigger finger

That's the problem though Brian, it's hard to find 7 virgins nowadays.

So that's what you call the sheep down home..wool mitts, what were their names. Fluffy, Wooly, Fuzzy, Itchy, ....

Were yu wearing pants with velcro kneepads..

Back in the 80's the mom of one of my steelheading friends was for a fee making/knitting the best glove that I have used. FWIW those gloves had only the thumb and first 2 fingers were half fingered, the ring and little finger were left full. I had no problem with the design using a float reel and spinning gear during cold weather. The wool was of the best quality of course, unfortunately have not seen the friend in many years and I'm sure the mom has passed.

 

Back in those days I wore the old canvas Columbia Steelheader vest with the wool lined handwarmer pockets at breast height, those gloves and a couple of handwarmers would fish the Niagara all winter.
