RE: Gloves for Bowhunting- Need Help
I also went through the search for the perfect bow cold weather hunting glove for me, and wasted alot of money and time shopping trying to find the right glove for me. What I found that I liked were the following gloves,Cabelas Gore-tex Strech Gloves, 100 % waterproof, Primaloft insulation, synthetic leather on palm fingers for bow grip, available in mens and womens sizes also Cabelas Camoskinz Thinsulate Gloves with thinsulate Flex insulation, synthetic leather palm and finger for bow grip, made with strech knit. Both of these gloves are made to be thinner than other bulker gloves. I shoot with a glove release and needed a warm thiner glove and found the Cabelas Goretex glove to be my favorite.I also found they didnt add any bow torque when I use them. I have added dexterity and increased feeling and use with the thinner glove.They run in price from around $35.00 to $18.00 They keep my hands warm, but I still use a hand warmer when its really cold if needed.They come in Advantage, Mossy Oak, Realtree Hardwoods for the Gore-Tex ones and Advantage Timber,Mossy Oak Break-Up for the Camoskinz.I have been very happy with these gloves.I also use a wicking liner glove under my gloves.

Small gloves are great but usually they fit tight around the fingers and reduce blood circulation making your hands cold. I avoid tight fitting gloves and stick with the hand pouch. The heat your hands lose is contained in the pouch and you can add a heating element as others have mentioned.

The gloves I was refering to are not skin tight, they dont fit like spandex and they dont fit tight around my fingers, they fit very comfortably so there is no blood flow constriction to my fingers. They keep my hands as warm as the larger thicker bulkier gloves with the added bonus of being a thinner glove.I buy them in a size that affords me the room to also wear a pair of wicking gloves underneth them.

Check out the gloves made by Whitewater Outdours. Not sure which style they're called. They are warm for there size. Perfect for release. I'm sure you can do a search and find a website. I bought a pair at dicks for 20.00 I know thats kinda pricy but they are worth every cent. Don't know if they come in Mossy oak though mine are Real Tree Hardwoods<img src=icon_smile_dissapprove.gif border=0 align=middle> They are a very close match to my Break Up you can't really tell the difference. They're just gloves!<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
Today I was in my stand from 11:00am to 6:30pm temp was in the 30s My fingers could tell it was cold out but they were still comfie. They're a couple years old too and still going strong.
