Cold Weather Shooting Gloves
« on: December 02, 2008, 04:35:00 PM »
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.

Robert

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.
