Default good hunting gloves

Can anyone recommend a good pair of warm water proof bowhunting gloves. I'm so tired of my little fingers freezing till they are beyond numb.

no such thing. i was told that the hand muff is pretty good. this is like the tube that football players use. i will probably buy one for the late season.

Agree, id just get a light pair of gloves, then get a hand muff to cover em up. Keeps you much warmer and dryer than any pair of gloves can ever imagine!

Yup! camo liner gloves and a hand muff. Ive seen the light this year and wont look back. Trying to bowhunt with big thick "warm" gloves is a thing of the past.

Can't bowhunt with those type of gloves. Bulky warm gloves will cost you a deer. Get a bowholder mounted to your stand so you don't have to hold a cold bow. My favorite bowhunting gloves are $1.50 a pair at walmart known as Trophy Ridge in camo cotton with rubber dot grips. Get a Fleece handwarmer that buckles around your waste and you can quietly slip your hands in and out.

I use those 7 hour hand warmers that come sealed in a package. Take them out of the pack and the air causes them to get warm. I put them in my pockets and my hands stay toasty. I can even hold it in my hand while holding my bow and then the bow doesn't cause my hand to freeze. You could also put them in the fleece hand warmer I suppose.

I usually wear a very thin pair of gloves and wear surgical gloves under them. The surgical gloves keep the heat inside and are a barrier against the wind. I can usually go down to the low teens then switch to a pair of insulated gloves with 60gr. thinsulate insulation.
