Location: WI | Check out the Extreme by Seirus. It's a water proof, breathable, lightly insulated (Thinsulate) glove. ALOT of guys will suggest latex or rubber gloves, but if your hands get damp inside these materials, they"ll get cold quickly because they don't breath. Having had a serious case of frostbite on my hands when I was a kid, I need a glove I can depend on to keep my hands warm & dry. These gloves were designed for skiing, but work great for any cool/cold weather outdoor activities. |

| Youngstown makes some nice winter work gloves that are waterproof, I tried them this last Saturday and they worked great.

Location: Madtown, WI | Not a big fan of the glacier gloves, you'll take on wind and water through the finger slits. There should be some overlapping material over the slits and then they would be pretty sweet. I hear they make "proangler" w/o the slits, not sure where to get them find them though. I taped them up and they work alright, not the warmest gloves though.
I tried the cabelas camoskinz goretex insulated shooting gloves last fall and was pretty impressed. Only issue was one they run a little small and they didn't stretch out. I'd recommend them though. Also was interested in trying the "new" Xtrafit cabelas shooting gloves. Little pricey though.
I try to get new pair every fall, I think I'll give Youngstown gloves a try this year. Thanks! |

| IceArmor gloves are excellent and they are only $30. TNF Apex are nice as well, but they will not do it when temps get into upper 30s. |

Location: Lake Country, Wisconsin | surgical gloves/ rubber gloves are a sneeky way to keep your hands dry and away from wind and still allowing full use of fingers
you won't win any fashion contests and probably will need to bring spares as they tear easily but they will help |

Location: Contrarian Island | ahh gloves, topic comes up every fall...i'm a sucker for trying every new glove seemingly someone recommends...gloves i own, have owned, or use .. cabelas camoskinz, ice armor, seal skinz, sierra, north face...here's my take...NO glove that is something like goretex is going to be waterproof all day .... i've tried them all or a lot of them to give a good suggestion...buy some ice armors, maybe 2 pairs, and get a bunch of the cheaper fingerless wool gloves, when they get wet change em out for dry ones.... i keep about 10 pairs of different types of gloves in the boat come fall.... no ONE pair is perfect |

| Neoprene gloves are good, for a while, but if you're fishing in rain they inevitably fill up with water. You wind up with water running up your arms when you cast, back into your gloves while you are reeling, up your arms when you cast, back down when you reel... It's also a bit difficult to cast because of the bulk of the gloves, but I haven't found anything better.
What I do is carry two pairs of gloves, and three pairs of polypro liners. When the first pair gets wet, switch to a dry pair. Stuff newspapers in pair #1. When pair #2 gets wet, go back to pair #1 with dry liners.
That's enough to get you through about 10 hours without too much misery. As long as you dry them well overnight, you can repeat the next day.
The good thing about neoprene gloves is that they insulate fairly well, so while your hands arent warm by any stretch, it keeps them from getting numb at least. When it's 35 and raining, and I think my hands are getting cold, I will take the gloves off for a minute to remind myself that it could be a LOT worse!  |

Location: MPLS, MN | I agree with get multiple pairs of gloves and get a Buddy Heater for the boat. When your hands freeze bad, warm them up and switch out the gloves. Just started doing that in the fall last year can't believe how stupid I use to be! |
