Fishing Gloves

I second Tote's choice. Mitten covered fingerless gloves. I like having all my fingertips available. Mine are made of windproof polar fleece. They keep my fingers warm even if I get em wet. If I soak them, take them off and shake them out, smack em on your thigh a few times and almost all the water is gone. Mine are the Simms brand. Love em.

Are these the ones?

I'm thinking more like these:

I used to wear an old pair of O'Neill neoprene surf gloves with a few fingertips cut off. Worked great.

My application was I needed something to keep my hands from getting so beat up, plus keep them warmish on chilly cenCal mornings.
I started with some sailing gloves from Harbinger, which worked but was difficult to take off.
I  then went to a lighter, spandex NRS fingerless glove.I really liked the NRS glove, but the spandex would chill my hands when wet, plus they picked up a stink of squid that i just couln't get rid of.
Now I'm on my second pair of NRS neoprene fingless gloves. They are the right balance of warmth, flexibility, and protection for me. The only downside is that the neoprene gets abraded so the gloves don't last forever.

Ha, they are on closeout sale now.

As I mentioned in another thread, I really like my Buff Sport water gloves, fingerless and nice.  More of a warm weather glove though.

Interested to see how these will perform.  https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=996891513701657&id=303065546417594

 

I've been wearing Kast Steelhead Gloves. they aren't too bad. But I have to take them off anytime I need to work on rigging. I considered one of those mitts that convert to fingerless gloves. But with my skin allergy I do not think it is worth the risk. So these gloves work for me. I have been wearing them in 30-40 degree temps without issue. Even when they get wet, it only takes a few minutes to warm back up and retain heat.

 

I use a neoprene glove. The index finger and thumb tips fold back so I can work on rigging. I think I found them at walmart.

Couldn't help it..

Thanks for the review.  My pair came in the mail recently, but I haven't had the opportunity to try them.  The biggest issue I have with fishing in the cold is keeping my hands dry, and the Kast Steelhead gloves are supposed to fit that bill.  For the longest time, I've always wanted fingerless gloves for the knot-tying, etc.  But when I started thinking about it, I only tie maybe a couple knots OTW in a given day when I'm fishing trout in the winter.  Sometimes I don't tie any knots at all.  So I think they're gonna work out just fine.
