| I have been trying to buy a pair of Kast steelhead gloves for over a year and still can't find them. I contacted the company numerous times and was told that they will be getting them. I was told that in August and September and now I checked there web site and it says that there was a fire in there warehouse and they are closed. Does anyone know of some good waterproof fishing gloves other than Kast ? |

| I’ve been using Chilli Grips for years. Sizes run a tad small. They are really good cold weather fishing gloves. Will keep your hands dry all day. Usually run about $15/pair.

Location: Grand Rapids, MI | The Simms G4 is similar to the Kast glove but has some insulation. I wouldn't call them bulky but definitely not as thin as the Kast glove. |

| He mentions the factory burned too... They are great, run small, but I could not find a size over medium when I looked to get a backup pair.
The Simms gloves are also good, according to the guide I was with. And come sized for the liner. |

| I've taken the "wet suit" approach to cold weather gloves and use Glacier Glove mittens. They do get wet, but even with the mittens portions in place I still get enough feel on the spool and crank control that I don't sacrifice touch. I find it almost impossible to keep spray from entering into a so called "waterproof" glove and inevitably, if I'm lucky, I'm sticking my hand into the water to release a fish (or dig a sucker out f the bucket). With these gloves I can totally immerse them and in a few minutes, with the mittens folded over my hands start warming up the gloves and just like a wet suit - comfortably warm. This doesn't work for temps below freezing but it keeps me fishing without fumbling with bulky gloves - and its a complete-season glove at less than $20 a pair so - I buy two!

| For casting in October in Canada, I used a pair of Cabelas windstopper Goretex that kept my hands dry and allowed me to thumb the spool OK, believe those were phased out and are now the Bass Pro Shops 100mph windstopper. My wife has a pair of the Clam ice armor dry skinz that worked well |
