I had the same problem for years then one day I looked at my hands at work.. Ahh! These will be perfect! Try Nomex Flight gloves. I wear the OD green. you can get them online or any army surplus. Best gloves I have found. They make a summer and winter weight. I like the "Summer Fliers" they are light weight.

Ive been wearing pilots gloves for 20 plus years.  Thin and lightweight.  U can button a shirt or pick up a dime with them.  Leather on the palm and fireproof Nomex on the back.  They are ptetty long covering the wrist and arm.  U can trim to fit.

I need to get a pair of those fighter pilot gloves myself.  

Been wearing a pair of Rocky cotton jersey camo glvoes with textured synthetic finger tips, the glove on my shooting hands actually does just fine shooting as-is, I don't have to wear a shooting glove if I don't have to.

However, after going out hunting yesterday day and having the damn skeeters biting my fingers and hands even through the cotton I need something more substantial.

Rob W. I wear the same style you're talking about and I'm on my 4th year, same pair. I even bought another pair a year or so ago, figuring these would give out. I put them on when I get into a tree or blind, and take them off before leaving, so they don't get used very hard.

One of the things I like about a tab is that there is no need to cut the fingers out of my gloves. I use camo jersey gloves in early season and light fleece gloves when it is cooler. I don't like any solid color, black, brown, or green, because they sometimes tend to appear as solid objects.

I think I'm going to get some of the pilot gloves and just take a little black spray paint and do some light passes to give em more of a broken up mottled look.  I bet they will protect better from the skeeters.

I have pilot gloves in Tan, Green, and Black.  Don't see any need in 20 plus years to camo them.

Like Roger Norris said golf gloves work well. I prefer the winter glove which has a little more body to it. Especially good if your shooting with a tab. Any of the cotton garden gloves will do if your shooting with a glove not a tab. Just cut out the fingers and go about your business. Good luck and good shooting.

I prefer the thin all leather gloves with the fingers cut off (pig,goatskin or deer). Cotton gloves on he bow hand tend to slip causing crazy groups...... I also keep my hands in a wool muff when its cold instead of wearing a heavier glove...... Practice with whatever you choose to avoid a miss or worse yet a bad hit..............

Golf gloves made for rain are hard to beat.  They are black and are designed to grip when wet.

In regards to the interest in Flight Gloves. I fly in them close to 1000hrs a year at work and usually get a couple years out of them. So they last..

I have flight gloves from when my bro was a 2nd LT.  Hes retired now. So they do last.  And get even better.
