Waterproof glove liners


Will

Recommended Posts

What are you going to be wearing the glove liners under?

Keep in mind that the gloves will do nothing if they are frozen stiff because you got them wet. Your hands might be dry, but they won't be warm. Rag wool might be the only viable option over a liner as it will still insulate when wet and doesn't hold much water.

Really, I would just look for a waterproof glove or mitten. I've always gone with mittens as I've never owned a pair of gloves that kept my fingers warm. Just my opinion.

Yes LINED neoprene gloves stuffed inside your jacket or flannel so they are warm when you need them.

Then a good pair of choppers the ones with the wool. If its super cold add a heat pack.

Don't bother with really expensive neoprenes for me at least they never last long no matter what I buy and will leak. So I stick with the less expensive end for the neoprenes. You can throw heat packs in to those as well.

Just a thought. Maybe get some "cloth" type gloves for cheap and dip them into some sort of latex or rhino liner. I don't know too much about the rhino liner but hear of a lot of construction workers using it on there boots to prolong the life and to "water proof" them. Kind of the same idea as the work gloves you can buy that have the rubber type palms and fingers with the cotton back. Could just use these as well and finish off the back with a latex or rhino liner. I used to use these gloves mentioned for ice fishing and added a liner glove inside it and they were pretty warm. Easy to work with also. Then I got the ice armor gloves and really like those. I also have the mittens for the cold days but most of my time is spent inside a porty or house and rarely ever use them inside.

    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
