Lightweight waterproof gloves?

[mitch435]

Does anyone have any recommendations for waterproof gloves with good dexterity, bow hunting capable?

last year I ran into a few days of wet weather hunting and between getting up the rope, set up in the tree, and then the sit...it wasn’t long before my wet hands turned to cold hands and then a short sit.

move brought out multiple pairs of gloves. Switched to a dry pair after getting up the tree and set up, but it seems once my hands are wet...cold hands and then misery is inevitable.

I’m interested If anyone has experience with a waterproof glove that is goood for bow hunting. I’m not interested in thick winter gloves. Something that I can keep on and draw/shoot with. I shoot a thumb release.

thanks for any recommendations.

Do a quick Google search of "Winter window washing gloves." My hands sweat too much in neoprene or waterproof gloves though and they defeat the purpose. I've had the best luck with military surplus wool liners in cool to cold weather since they hold warmth while wet. In really cold temps I'll use a muff that belts around my waist: https://www.trophyline.com/products/vintage-trophyline-tree-saddle-saddle-muff

I’ll take a look. I appreciate the input. I do have and use one of the waist muffs. Those are money. But doesn’t seem to help once the hands get wet. Even with a towel to dry, depending on the temps and wind...doesn’t take long to get cold and numb.

How warm are these? Where do you hunt?

If you want seal skins, I just bought a pair in camo of their largest size. These gloves are unworn, because I could not get my hands in them. I will sell them to you for cost. I think it was $35. I can pm you a pic if you are interested. I was going to put them in the classifieds.

Do you by chance recall where you got those from for $35?

 

[Loopwing]

Straight from sealskinz. They were having a sale. It was $35 or $39. Either way a steal.

Does anyone on this thread want these gloves? If not they are going into the classifieds tomorrow morning since I finally took a pic.

Not super warm. No insulation to speak of, just tough outer layer and then the membrane. I have liner gloves to put under them if needed. I got these to have a thin, waterproof glove that would not affect dexterity when hanging sticks, etc. I hunt in WV. The coldest weather I hunt in is single digits in late season and that is rare. Teens is usually low temp. I would wear these down to the temperature of liquid rain, 32 F. Colder than that and I'll do something else.

I would, but they are too big for me. I think I went XL.

well those look great, but they are for sure too big for my hands.

 

[Loopwing]

And for sure way to small for mine. Someone else already grabbed them up though.

FYI for othe.....this brand has great quality, but is sized a bit smaller than US companies (they are British). The large gloves were skin tight on me, and with US brands larges usually fit.
