Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting Gloves for Backpack Hunting

Thanks for the feedback. I ordered three different pairs of "mitt" type gloves based on the feedback here. I like the Manzella gloves. They are a tight fleece so they should be windproof but they are thin. They are a little tight on my hand. I may have to move up to an extra large. They are a good glove but they may not be super warm.

The Kinco Alyeska Ragg Wool gloves are awesome. I love the grippy dots and the magnetic flap holder. They are cheap too. The wool is thick but they may be a little bit too breathable. I see keeping a few pairs of these around. With a liner glove these may be hard to beat.

I also bit the bullet and bought a pair of Sitka Incinerator gloves. They were expensive but this may be a case of getting what you pay for. When I received them, I thought they were just too bulky for backpack hunting. However, I can now see these being perfect for glassing on a windy ridge while wearing a puffy coat or hanging around camp at night.

These things are awesome. They are water resistant, wind resistant, and well insulated. The magnet in the back works well. I am not crazy about the snap on the front. It makes a loud noise when it pops open but I doubt I will ever need it snapped closed. The elastic adjustment on the wrist is genius, it can be operated with ease in mitten mode. Also, these will be great for late season or deer stand hunting.

It is the wrong time of the year to give these a fair test but hunting season is just around the corner.
