Warm Gloves???

[IT Guy]

Any recommendations for waterproof warm winter gloves? My pair took a ride on the bumper last year and bailed before I got home.

Thanks!

I like to buy the ragg wool convertible mittens with Thinsulate. The mittens keep my hands plenty warm and you can pull the mitten part back to use your fingers for tying jigs, etc. The wool is key in the warmth factor. Even if the wool gets wet it retains heat. I have three or four pairs that I purchased at $14.00 per pair. I keep them with me and if one pair gets extremely wet I will just switch pairs and dry them when I get home.

I have tried multiple gloves claiming to be waterproof and rarely are they truly waterproof.

I've been very happy with Ice Armor gloves in both the finger and mitt styles. On the show Deadliest Catch the crews all wear a blue rubberized work golve. They seem to keep thier hands warm and have a high degree of dexterity. Does anyone know what brand those gloves are and where to get them?

Grandoe is a very nice glove. That is what I wear for skiing. However, when they get wet, my hands get cold. Great for skiing, not as great for fishing.

I will second the ice armor gloves!

Thanks for the advice - has anyone tried these? Cabela's Gore-Tex Pinnacle 2 in 1

I had a pair of both styles of ice armor. They both worked great and lasted a couple of years. The one pair is going on its 3rd year now. My extreme ice armor gloves went for a ride on the roof of my car last year. I just picked up the neoprene 2 fingers ice armor gloves today for when im outside fishing.

This will be the 3rd winter for my Ice Armor mits. They are slowly breaking down but have been one of the warmest I've used.

I tried the Ice Armor neoprene gloves and wish I would have saved the receipt to take them back. They make my hands feel colder than if I wasn't wearing any gloves at all.

The warmest mittens are the old fashion military chopper mits (the ones with the fake fur on the back of the hand). Hard to find now.

I've worn the Ice Armor X mittens for two seasons and they do well. I take them off for tying, which I'm fine with since I've never worn a pair of gloves that kept my fingers warm.

Just get a pair with gortex and you can put your hands right in the water and never feel the cold....

Ice armor gloves are warm, but they get their waterproof from a layer of plastic between the inner layer and the outer layer, so no breathability... but if you get the outer layer wet your inner layer stays dry. The only reason I know whats inside of ice armor gloves, because the two pair i'v owned have ripped open and fallen apart.

I know this about gloves.... You get what you pay for...... cheap gloves don't last and in most cases are not very warm. Good luck. The shopping and reaserch is worth the time.

I second what herefih101 said. Ice Armor are just cheaply made. They fell apart on during first season. I am in market for new pair too and am considering C store's Pinnacle 2 in 1s.

I wouldn't recomend Ice Armours either, have had 3 pair and none were neither dry or warm... I wear a pair the boss got us last year for drilling and pulling the shack, if I'm outside fishing I don't wear any, if my hands get cold I jump in the shack with the wife for awhile or just stay in the shack....

I have had a few pairs of Ice Armor Gloves. If you use these gloves for fishing and fishing related activities(house set up, drilling holes) they will last quite a few years. I had my last pair for 3. I was also using them to cut and stack wood and hunting.

[Esox_Magnum]

My first pair lasted almost 2 years, 2nd set about 6 outings current set the stitching started coming out first day..... they are in the truck someplace used for work when I don't want to tear up my good work gloves that keep me warm....

The gloves the guys wear on the deadliest catch are Atlas Gloves, they have a number of different models, 460, 620, 660 etc are ones you see on the show. The SB460 "Snow Blower 460's" are great, they have a fleece lining and work great for well snow blowing, haven't used them for ice fishing. You can find them online from teh big "A" site.

+1....they are great for ice fishing, ugly, but keep your hands dry and relatively warm. They have a thin profile and you can actually do thing without having to take the gloves off.

Over the years, I have used about every glove out there including the Ice Armor gloves.

Hands down, the best out there are the Sno Suit mitts. They do also offer them in the finger type but the mitt type will be warmer. Not slamming Ice Armor at all but they do not hold a candle to the Sno Suit gloves.

I have worn these for 3 winters and they still look like new. I was on rainy Lake ice fishing a few years back and the 4 days we were there it was approx -38 below. We were on the ice moving and cutting holes all day and my hands never once got wet or cold.

Now that is a glove.

I checked out the Arctic Armor gloves and mitts and I think the mitts have a wierd lining in them. They feel like they have a load of corn kernals packed in the lining. Anyway, I see that gander has them on clearance for $16.99 and $19.99 if you want to try them out. Maybe look at waterproof snowmobile gloves. You want taped seams and a waterproof insert like Hipora to do the job.

He's right, what i have done for ever is i have a nice pair of leather Deer Skin chopper mittens with fur inside.. Promise your hands will never get cold.. On top of the get a size bigger than normal and wear a pair of lite gloves (Baseball or Mechanic gloves)that quickly you can pull your mitten off to do what you want and still have the warmth! This is what i have found to be the best option..

I bought those (Cabela's Pinnacle) two seasons ago, they suck and here is why. They look like a mitt style but are a glove inside of the mitt, result, cold fingers no matter what, it doesn't even have to be that cold, say +20. I don't fish where you can drive up to a spot so I spend at minimum a half hour on a sled and then setting up. I found some Gordini down filled and goretex that have been good as well as a pair of Grandoe, but the latter can get wet easily. I know some people are OK with gloves, but I have always stayed warmer with a mitt style, even the good old choppers if you can get a good liner.
