Location: SUN PRAIRIE WI | Are there any good gloves that you can use for cold and wet weather that will keep your hands warm and dry and still able to fish with them on.
Thanks for the replies |

| I've had some luck with the fleece lined glacier gloves. Reason I say "some" luck is that in heavy rain, the water that runs up your sleeves when you cast runs back down into the gloves, and eventually you wind up having to take them off and pour the water out of them. It's bearable if you wear a pair of the polypro liners underneath. Even when wet, they still keep your hands warm down to about 35. I carry two pairs of glacier gloves and 3 pairs of liners. When the first pair gets soaked, I'll switch to the dry pair. When those start getting wet I'll change liners. That will get me through a 10 hour day. If you stuff newspaper in the gloves overnight they will be mostly dry by morning, so you can go repeat the process and get them wet all over again the next day. |

| Has anyone ever tried the SealSkinz gloves? I have been reading decent reviews for them on the web... |

Location: Elk River, Minnesota | I have used seal skinz gloves for a few years. They are the tightest fitting gloves out there and do a decent job of keeping your hands dry.
Setback with them, though is when changing lures. They are a knit glove, so it is easy to hook and snag them. They do the job, though... Best glove I know of for dexterity..

| I have the Simms Fold Over Mits and they are nice but by no means "waterproof". I also use Neoprene Bass Pro Shop Gloves that have fold over thumbs that velcro back. They are as waterproof as you can get. Neither is perfect but between the two I can cover most applications. I also Just p/u some Frabill FXE Gloves that appear to have potential but I have not used them yet. |

Location: where the fish are... | The Ice armour gloves are pretty good, I have had mine for about 4 seasons now and they just got wore out this year. They are a little thicker for those under 45degree days to keep you fishing longer. I usually use those and mechanics gloves. |

| I tried some glomits for the first time a couple years back, not really believing that I would like them or that they'd keep my hands warm, but I couldn't have been more wrong. For fishing in cold weather, casting primarily, they really are fantastic. These are the glomits I have and love.

Combine them with line that picks up the least amount of water like, spiderwire or suffix 832, and your hands will be thankful casting in the cold weather. I had a fleece/neoprene pair of gromits first, and while they worked well, they didn't hold up to heavy use because all the seams create weak spots.

Location: Hugo, MN | I bring a bunch of cotton jersey gloves. When they get wet, I change them. They're a buck a pair and plenty warm. I also bring a pair of heavy mittens with handwarmers in them for trolling or flying spot to spot.
I've tried every type of "waterproof" glove out there. The best I found were Sealskinz, but they did not keep my hands warm.
90% of the time I go bare handed. It's just easier. |

Location: Hugo, MN | I also try to keep my rod tip up to keep my line a bit drier. Works good for shallow water fishing, kinda hard if you're fishing deep.
So far so good with the Suffix 832. It is definitely a drier line than most. Might help keep your hands dry.

| To keep water from going up sleeves I use noeprene wrist wraps like you can find in the grocery or drug store. I fish in a kayak and my rod is usually in an upward position, with tiger braid I will soak myself. Luckily the injury to my wrist healed and I still use the wrist wraps whenever getting soaked is an issue. |

| I will second (or third) the Simms fold overs. I add a pair of surgical rubber gloves underneath. That keeps your hands dry and the gloves still insulate . That combo keeps me good until ice up.

| i like a few pairs of wool gloves in the boat. can get wet and keep the warmth in. i find the fingerless rag wool fly fishing gloves in the fly fishing section at bass pro work the best for me. the most durable and the trebles don't snag them. |

| Never wear gloves when fishing, they take away pretty much all the feeling and i just hate having something om my hands (and head) when fishing.
Only time i wear gloves is when ice fishing (put 4 rods each out with bite indicators and wait) and im waiting for a take, as soon as i see a take the gloves come of :P |

| I just use rubber medical gloves. I know for me atleast my hands don't get cold unless they are wet. They are thin so I don't loose feeling of the reel and if they rip I just grab another pair. |

+1, the gloves are thin so you have dexterity, your hands stay dry, and the handwarmer seals the deal. They cost about $3, so it's easy to have some backups. |

Location: Michigan | I have tried many because my hands get cold fast. Seal Skinz work good to a point in mid Fall, but they don't insulate good for temps in the 30's or below. The Glacier Gloves I have are too thin, and again, not enough insulation for cooler temps. I actually used Cabelas Gauntlet hunting gloves with the leather palms and shooting finger for many years. Although these were a little bulkier, they did the best job at keeping my hands warm. The downside was they were water resistant, but not water proof.
I just picked up a pair of the Frabil FXE Task Glove, and the Frabil Ice Fishing gloves with Snoshell. The FXE is a nice balance of insulation and still providing dexterity. So far, they are winners. The Ice fishing gloves are too bulky to fish with, but work great if you are running around. I put these on when moving between spots. They do a nice job of warming my hands back up if they do get cold. |

Location: Madtown, WI | I got a pair of the Cabelas Insulated Camoskinz Gortex gloves and used them for 4 consecutive days on the water last week. I am very pleased with them, they blow the glacier gloves out of the water in warmth. The do absorb some water by the end of the day but the best thing about them, all I did was throw them on the floor and turn the floor heat on high on the drive home and then again on the way to the lake and they were completely warm/dry to start out every day. Glacier gloves seem to take weeks to dry out. |
