Ladies, Gents,
Can anyone out there steer me in the direction of a supplier/retailer of a good set of cold weather bowhunting gloves? For a short while, 3 Rivers was carrying a nice looking piece of kit called the "Dura Glove Extreme" but sadly, they no longer carry this line, apparently because the supplier no longer exists.
I've checked Cabelas but their gloves seem to be geared for compound bows and mechanical releases.
Thanks.

I recently recommended a pair of winter golf gloves to another TradGanger but he did not live in Canada. Expect it is a little colder where you will be hunting. Exactly what are you looking for? Heavy glove in palm, no finger tips etc.

G'day Bill,
Yes, a tad colder: about -15C to -20 C which, I think is about 0 F and below.
Am looking for a full glove with reinforced finger tips. More or less a full shooting glove but insulated. Goes with out saying I'd need one for the bow hand too!

Alaska Bowhunting used to have something like that too. You might check with Ed. Might still have a few around. dino

Alaska Bowhunting Supply. Skookum gloves. These have reinforced finger tips that you can actually shoot with. I have been using them for the last couple of years and love them. Pretty good down to about 25 degrees, after that you nay want to try a thin liner glove underneath. Not cheap, I think about 45 dollars a pair, but they work.

I wear my work gloves, Ironclad Cold Condition gloves. Can get them at the hardware store. No need for a shooting glove with those on.

For cold weather bowhunting, goatskin gloves are a great choice. They're durable, keep your hands warm, and allow you to move your fingers easily.You can check out some options here "https://philleywood.com/collections/goatskin-gloves".

I buy goat skin gloves at the local farm store I pay about $12 a pair they are soft and nice to wear and they last awhile but they are not insulated .

I bought an American leathers full glove. It is not insulated, but I have taken a neoprene winter glove and cut off the three shooting fingers, which fits inside the shooting glove. It is not ideal, but has kept me comfortable down to minus 15 c or so, as I walk around the 3d range. It not got colder than that around where I live for the last few years.
-
Quit looking for a specific glove years ago. I just cut the fingers out of a warm pair of gloves and then wear my three finger tabs under them.
