Warm Mitts recommendations


Cheers

Recommended Posts

I need to buy a new pair of warm gauntlet type leather snow mobile/ ice fishing mitts. Any suggestions please ? I have frozen my fingers to many times fishing and they are now very sensitive to the cold so I need to find the warmest pair available.

I have the Ice Armor X gloves and they work great. Good construction, waterproof, windproof, durable and warm as toast. They're gauntlet style, reaching up the arm a ways, fit easily over big insulated sleeves and have a drawstring to cinch them tight around your arm.

Even after getting my hands cold by setting up/packing up or whatever without them on, I put these gloves on and in no time my hands are toasty warm again. They make mittens in the same model, as well, for those who prefer mittens over gloves.

They aren't gauntlet, but the Joka mittens are as warm as I've found.Never had my hands cold in them.Great grip and waterproof also. You can also wear a pair of thin gloves at the same time.Handy for when the job takes gloves instead of mittens.The other plus is the price. You can usually find a pair at Fleet Farm for $12-15 Good Luck.

well kinda bending the rules here but i think its for a decent cause. if you live in the southern part in MN you cant beat a pair of Ubers gloves. one of minnesota's oldest family run stores, and it is run out of downtown owatonna, have had mine for about 5 or 6 years and use them rigerously so i would reccomend them for sure.

I don't know if they still makem' like they used to but I've got an old pair(dang near 30 years old)of leather Hot Finger Mittens/choppers. These things keep my hands warm no matter what. I also have a pair of the traditional choppers with the wool lining. These also keep my hands very warm.

    • Sorry to hear that Duff. Will give my GSP's an extra scratch behind the ear for you guys today
    • Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.
    • yes sorry for your loss..  our dogs are always special...
    • 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?
