Cold Weather Shooting Gloves

[PopcornPuppy]

Hey everyone! The weather is starting to get a bit chilly! Any recommendations or favorites for cold weather shooting gloves? I'd like to start practicing with the gloves before its actually freezing.
Some things to consider: Full coverage or fingerless? Sweat wicking? Price? Thick/thinness? Grip durability?

The mechanics style gloves are what I use. Cheap and available from Home Depot / Lowes, they insulate a little but aren't too thick that they cause problems. I can load mags, shoot, reload, etc all without constantly taking on and off the gloves. I'm sure others would insulate better but would be too cumbersome to be practical.

I guess it depends on what you plan on doing. If you are hiking / hunting in the snow then you will want more insulation but if target shooting and constantly needing dexterity, the mechanics gloves work well for me.

I use polypro glove liners. They cover 90% of what you are asking for, and are cheap cheap cheap! Most important is I can feel the trigger fully. Hels a lot on range day.

When I hunt in the snow (which is basically never) I either keep my hand in my pocket until it is go time or I wear a glove and plan to take it off.

I'm not as experienced with HUNTING gloves for the snow as most here may be. But for shooting, poly pro does everything except keep the wind out.

I bought my wife a pair of Tillman kidskin TIG welding gloves awhile back. These are what I wear welding and when shooting outdoors when it's cold. You can find them online or at most welding supply outlets - Airgas, Praxair, etc.

A lot of trapshooting women I know wear golf gloves. They are thin leather, so don't interfere, but some of them cut the trigger fingers off anyway. I need to pick some up for myself, as I don't like the bulk of thicker ones.

Golfer gloves work well, I also have a pair of lighy leather work gloves. Those are so awesome!

Never thought of golf gloves. I second the Mechanix gloves.

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone! I didn't know about a lot of these options =)

I use gerneral purpose firm grip gloves from home depot. They have webbed leather for palms and fingers, but soft backs. Not bad trigger feel, but they could do better when it's cold. I mainly use them when working on cars for the lack of heat absorbtion, although 200* antifreeze will burn through any clothes.... hah

I never used gloves while shooting so can't tell you

I use batter's gloves in cold weather, with the right index fingertip cut off and hemmed. They're sold in pairs, nicely padded in the right places and thin enough that you can feel what you're doing. Sold in Big Five for around $19 per pair (yes, both gloves in the same package, unlike golf gloves...)

Nomex flight gloves are what I use. Though I dont know for sure about smaller sizes for women. A lot of surplus stores carry them.

They're part thin leather, and part 'nomex' synthetic. Good dexterity with these.

I just found some tight-fitting running gloves at Costco. I'm going to try them out trapshooting tonight, but I think they'll work.
