| Would love to buy the Kast gloves but my issue is always with the thumb having a textured finish. Doesn't this cause issues when thumbing the spool? It has for me with other gloves. If I cut the thumb off I lose all warmth and dryness... |

| I wear a wool glove liner under the kast gloves and I'm warm enough. I have the mx-pro linked above |

Location: SE Wisc | Polar Penguins. It's the warmest, high dexterity glove I've found. I wear them for work everyday in the winter and after trying dozens of others, I now wear them for cold weather casting. Easy to cast with, easy to crank, waterproof except for back of palm and wrist, durable, and under $10! If extremely cold you can wear latex surgeons gloves under but I've never had to do this while fishing only at work. |

| I bought a pair when they still had the Steelhead gloves in Large. The new Anniversary edition seems to be the only change is in the price?
Mine leaked the first use. Contacted Kast and they're going to replace them under warranty, just sent them in today. |

Location: Aurora | Dig out yer long 80's era wristbands and slip a handwarmer in each so they're against the soft, kissable inner side of your wrists. Fly fisher-person's secret, no $100 gloves needed.

| Anyone tried the Simms skeena glove? They look nice and don't cost as much as these kast gloves. I would try the kasts but they only have small and x-small sizes everywhere I look |

Location: Duluth | I use the Simms Prodry, they have a liner that is warm as heck and the gloves themselves are no issue to cast in. Totally water proof, just got beat on by the weather in the UP for a week but my hands were warm and dry whole time.

The top link is the one you want. They may not be the warmest glove on the planet, but they are far warmer than any other glove intended for fishing that I've ever used and I have a drawer full of others. They are 100% waterproof, even submersible up to the end of the cuff. They are bulky enough that I only use them when I absolutely have to, but I've put hands into them that were severely cold and had them toasty warm in about five minutes. That really blew me away. And the thumb is tough enough to take a lot of casting without issues. |

Location: Thief River Falls MN | Kast MX pro gloves worked great for me on our post blizzard Eagle Lake trip. Used with a silk liner and hands were kept plenty warm. Fished 9 hrs a day with them and hands did not get wet. $25 on Amazon right now too |

Location: Lake St Clair | Heres my take on the Kast gloves: i used them on Sunday from 830 - 230 casting in 35-40 degree weather. After a few hours the gloves became almost soaked on the outside but my hands were dry on the inside, wet gloves on the outside made my hands super cold. Im still not really sure how the gloves ended up so wet, maybe from the spool flinging water as the line was coming in? I either need to buy another pair and switch them out half way thru the trip or buy a larger size and wear a thin inner glove to stay a little warmer.

Location: Contrarian Island | read the reviews above..everyone that has them has pointed out they are not warm and require a liner for warmth in sub 40 degrees or so...  |

Location: Lake St Clair | I understand that a thin glove can only be warm for so long but it felt like these were holding water and they were, after taking them off you could feel the added weight to them.
is that normal? |

Location: Contrarian Island | mine did seem to absorb some water, but did stay dry on the inside....any fabric will absorb water if it is breathable... put a pair of rubber gloves over em if you want impermeable

Location: On the River | Agree with BNelson ,I had a pair of seal skin gloves not a good choice if you want to keep your hands dry.
Kast gloves or Ice Armor Gloves are a much better choice |
