This one is used and smells like Grandmas house, but I'll take care of that
x2They are kinda expensive,(I think I paid $40 or more) but way worth it.

I go the fleece muff with the chemical warmers as well, however....the older I get the less and less I like hunting below freezing. generally if it gets below 20 deg I'll stay in bed. lol. I started playing around with a pop up blind and a wood gasifier stove for heat, but its just too much cramp. so for me its hunt hard October - November, early December when its warm enough. I've learned that by the second week of Dec (2 weeks into gun season up here) that the deer have been 'well educated' by the gunners and have gone mostly nocturnal anyway.
I haven't found a warm glove that I love for holding the bow without getting too cold. I just bought some Kuiu guide gloves that will be my main glove. They are a midnight soft-shell glove with leather palms. Perfect for trees. I have merino liners I can wear under them.
I tried Arctic Shield GloMitts. Not amazing but they work...they get crunchy when it gets near freezing. They are easy to flip open (magnet holds them open). You can throw a warmer in them and survive.
Might try a GloMitt over the Kuiu.
I have a bad BassPro hand muff. Might get a new good one with WindBlock. Any Recommendations? The Kestrel seems muff friendly.
I have a pair of Air Force arctic mitts with the thick wool inserts. I used them ground hunting in snow and they were great.
The Mitts are attached together with a line...you can stick your hand under your arm or between legs etc and quickly remove them and have them hanging in place (around you neck or from the tree) I even practice shooting with the left one on but you can't hold your arrow with your finger...(Recurve).
They are heavy though... 1.5#
TrueMove to South Carolina ! Lol

You can find Beaver but they're expensive and I wonder if they work as well as syntheticsI know this picture is ridiculous but if they could make an oversized hand muff like they do for women i'd be all over it!!!
