Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Wool fingerless gloves

I had a few pairs of fingerless gloves made of wool.
Gray in color. Ragg wool I think they were called.
I think they may have been advertised as ice fishing gloves years ago.

I have been able to find similar to these, but they have incorporated flip over mittens.
They are ok, but I would really prefer to find just the fingerless gloves, without the mitten component.

I appreciate any help.

Army GI wool gloves. Cut the fingers off yourself. They don't unravel. I got a pair that I've been using for years like that. Cut them a little longer than you think you want them. The ends will curl a bit, shorten, and that's about it.

or you can buy them pre-cut.

Steel head fishing shops in Western WA carry them. in fact most any sporting goods shop carries them.

I knit my own for coyote hunting. I make them longer to the next finger joint and when it gets colder I put a pair of wool GI Glove liner under them. Keeps me out of the bars at night.



You can get camo yarns at the yarn shop.

Fishermen use these a lot, check local fly shop or website for Simms, Orvis, etc.

I have a pair of rock climbers fingerless gloves that I've had for years, they're wool on the back and a very sturdy heavyweight cotton knit on the palm side. Seem to be near impossible to wear out.

I used to use a Wool GI liner glove for bowhunting with fingers. I cut the fingers I needed off and they didn't unravel. Hsed that glove often. still have it.

Top of the line stuff: Buffalo wool gloves

Lots of fingerless gloves out there. The buffalo wool pair I picked up around 10 yrs ago a great - a little thicker/warmer than most others I've had.

First lite makes some merino ones : https://www.firstlite.com/products/talus-fingerless-merino-glove

Minus 33 does also: https://www.minus33.com/products/merino-wool-fingerless-gloves

Here's some buffalo wool ones : https://thebuffalowoolco.com/products/bison-ragg-wool-fingerless-gloves

The merino will be lower profile material and still be quite warm.

Heck I found some with possum fur and wool but they are women's gloves: https://www.ecowool.com/product/possum-merino-fingerless-gloves/

Sorry Mike didn't see your link to the buffalo ones, they look nice.

Filson used to make some. Check out their website.

Sportsmans Guide usually has a good selection of milsurp gloves. Only place I can consistently find ones that fit. They’re cheap enough that you can slice and dice them into something that works. Wool by itself is so dang slippery I usually wear them with some others for some grip.

Dang, I’ve never had to make glove payments before. At the rate I lose them, I’d be broke in a season.

Don't fear synthetics. I have several pairs of Stubai gloves w/ the red rubber dots that I got in the late '90s. Low bulk and quick drying. Wet ones dry in an inside pocket so get several pairs and rotate frequently.

Get the wool fingerless gloves with the flap that flips over the fingers a hot hands in the flap and your golden

I have used a pair of finger-less weight lifting leather gloves with padded palms. They work really well when a liner is not absolutely required.

When my kids were kids, I used to go to Whatamart every year and buy a pile of the camo acrylic dot gloves they carried; $1.25 a pair. Warm enough for all but the coldest weather, and no tragedy when one (always one) was lost. Still have some of the left-hand ones in my glove bin. Sadly, those are no more, and while similar ones are sold elsewhere, I can’t find ones that fit. “One size fits most” means not me. The milsurp 2x ones from SG generally fit.

I never understood how wool fingerless gloves keep your fingers from getting cold.
