I've got a bear hunt lined up for this May. Will be hunting out of Cold Bay and was hoping to get some suggestions on gloves for this type of hunt. I'm guessing I'll be glassing for hours on end with rain, wind, and temps in the 40's. I was thinking about getting some waterfowl hunting gloves to wear while glassing to stay as warm and dry as possible, maybe some waterfowl mittens and wear some good liner gloves? Was even thinking about some of the lined, rubber fishing gloves? What would you guys suggest? Thanks!

Why that's just plain silly,Doc. You're not going to get those bears to wear gloves!  Oh, you mean gloves for yourself. They're not very stylish, but the best I've ever used for similar purpose was the Army green wool gloves and cold weather covers. They have the trigger finger opening and slip resistant palms, and are very warm. They may be a little hard to find now, though.

I like the Chilly Grips, they will keep your hands warm and dry. I used some for the first time this year and liked them so much I went out and bought 2 more pairs for back up.
That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.

Yep like AKMNTHNTR I dig the chilly grips. I bought 12 pair off of ebay for $36. Really like them and they are warm even when wet IME. Used them the last 3 year. So long as its above 0*F out I use them snowmobiling as well.

Personally, I prefer a "glomitt" design for stalking/hunting, something like the ArticShield gloves below: ![[Linked Image]](http://onyxoutdoor.com/dimg/thm/t300_d199a6fc24d1eafc40a436f75e3c52df.jpg) I have yet to find any truely waterproof ones here in the UK, so generally take two or three sets so a dry pair is always available.. Most of the year I get by without wearing any thin liner gloves, but they are a nice option when the temps drop...

Just curious but what do you mean by "when it got colder" and "work to decent temps"? I only ask as I believe your in Tx?? I can honestly say I find it harder to get good gloves (of the type I prefer) than boots or any other item of hunting clothing.. I find most warm/waterproof gloves are too bulky to do anything where any degree of dexterity or "feel" is required, hence my preference for a "glomitt" design.. Normally temps here don't drop too many degrees below freezing, so I can't comment on designs for serious cold weather use, but if I could find a properly waterproof glomitt with a sensible about of insulation I would be a happy man.. I am off to Scotland next week stalking Sika hinds, and have bought a pair of the gloves below, but I have reservations about them. Jack Pyke Gloves The blurb in the associated advert referes to them as both "waterproof" and "water resistant" but I suspect it will turn out to be that later.. Regards, Peter

My pack is full of most of the gloves listed here,,cheap jersey gloves get used a bunch and keep changing them as they get wet. The line in my tent is full of wet gloves and socks most every night.Atlas and neoprene's are a buggar to get on and off when damp but if you have the willpower to keep them on despite the snot running out your nose your a better man than me.
I tend to use more than enough gun

Regards, Peter I can use the thin ones down to the mid 40s or around 40. Once its below say 30 or so, the outer liners just don't keep me warm. I made the mistake once of taking them to AK. It got down to 5 a few times. That was not good at all. But I had taken old military mits along just in case... wool liners and those mits were fine... Lot of it is, that insulation needs air space to work, the artic ones just don't have it enough IMHO and fail there. I have a pair of cheap fleece ones, that make my hands sweat at anything other than about 30 or under... way cheaper than the artic ones.
