20 Best Winter Gloves For Hunting (2023 Updated)

I’ve owned these gloves for years and they are by far my most favorite. I’ve tried so many over the years and they are by far the most comfortable and fit perfectly. They are very soft and not bulky.

They arent super warm like the thick bulky pairs but they are plenty warm for anything above 20deg. I still wear these even with bone chilling negative temps but just slip a hand warmer in them. I dont like thick bulky gloves for shooting my gun or bow, so these are perfect.

Every one my hunting photos you can see im wearing these gloves. Haha.

I love these. They are very warm down to 20 degrees and the function is excellent. I hunt primarily with a crossbow and the ability to open the mitten part up at will is fantastic. The little magnets hold the mitten out of the way nicely, and when the mitten section is in use they are warmer than any regular gloves I have ever had.

Good overall product and worth the money.

The Manzella Men’s Camo Bow Ranger Bowhunter Gloves have so many great features. One of my favorite features is the TouchTip Technology. I am able to answer my cell phone or respond to messages without having to take off my gloves.

These gloves are true to fit and are easy to put on or take off my hands with little effort. I like how these gloves are made with spandex and move with my hands. They are form fitting, yet lightweight.

They have a cinched wrist, and also a Velcro fastener that is easy to adjust. Another great feature is the MIB control Trax reinforced palm. It makes it so much easier to pick up and grip items. These are great gloves that are constructed well and very comfortable to wear.

I would definitely recommend these gloves for anyone who is looking for a lightweight, well-made outdoor, sportsman glove.

These are basically worthless. They may be waterproof but they do not breathe at all. SO if you exert yourself at all they become soaking wet inside and they stay that way. Gore Tex similar products would at least breathe a little and would eventually dry out.

These gloves do not dry out. I suppose one could use a boot dryer to remove the internal moisture.

I’m 60 bought many gloves in my life. $15-$20 up to $60. These are as good or better then best I’ve used. Light weight, warm, and I held them under water in sink since I haven’t been around water yet.

Plan to use them Ice fishing and Everything else. 2 pair for $12. Don’t know where you could find that price anywhere but here. thinking of buying 2 more as there on sale and I can keep them for the future.

I imagine water proof may wear out in a couple years. But can afford to buy a pair that often. may be better gloves out there But I wouldn’t spend $100 or more on them. outdoors northern WI. and Mn. If somethings wrong send em back.

Lemon comes out once in awhile. I always wear XL and these XL fit perfectly.

I always need a spare pair of gloves, so when I saw these figured for the price I couldn’t go wrong. I was pleasantly surprised to find that not only are they a great price, they are great gloves. Warm, comfortable and well made.

Depending on what you’re planning to do in them they might be a little bulky. I used them bow hunting last weekend and they were fine. I could handle my release and despite 26F temps and spitting down sleet, my hands were dry & warm.

I had no trouble manipulating my release. For gun hunting I might have a little trouble with clearance in my trigger guard, but time will tell. One pair for this price would be great, but you get 2 pairs for under $12! Try to beat that.

I bought 4 pairs for my son and I. as I said you can always use a spare pair in your pack. One note: I’m 5’10” and 190lbs with average size hands and a large is a perfect fit. If you have larger hands you may want to get the larger size.

Good glove. Went for large as opposed extra large as I know they will relax a little and tried this product in a shop at 15 quid more than RRP. The large size is a tight fit at the moment. Looks good quality and I bought them as a shooting glove so index finger can be extracted for trigger and thenglove tip.

folds back and is held clear with a magnet as oppossed velcro which I feel is better. Velcro wasnt designed by Ninjas 😯. The termal protection in the field isnt brilliant at first go (dog walking with a high output metal torch) but to be honest.

i usually use a ski glove on the left in a vehicle. even 5 to 10 MPH adds a lot to chill factor) as well as it helps support the rifle and the right hand is inside with access to a pocket and a hand warmer too.

I wear a heavy and huge watch and this clashes with the cuff a lot but as this hand is typically inside a vehicle and it can still do up I dont consider it an issue. Unusalually I wear the watch on my right wrist as oppossed the left.

But if your out standing in the wind this may help chill your wrist and hand. Materials and construction seem good allowing for the limited thermal protection. However. shooting. the need to feel the rifle.

and operate the action etc means its a balance and a compromise. Too thick a glove and you loose tactile functionality. So ai am happy to recommend this glove as long as you allow for ultra cold conditions.

If I was high seating and sitting elevated in a sea exposed to wind then you need to consider an additioanal layer of thermal protection. Good product well made from a respected brand at a decent price.

Additional items would lessen the £ damage postage has for a single item.

Very impressed with the gloves warmth and water proofing. The dexterity is good. The sizing is a bit odd but it was to be expected by reading reviews before I bought. Only thing I’d change is to make it smartphone compatible! I ended up buying a pair of the cold weather gloves with fusion control as well.

It is smart phone capable but they don’t come in green which I liked the look of more.

Very good product, well made using quality materials. I have not used them in anger as it has not been as cold and wet as it was back in January. I ordered the medium as advised for size 9 and although they came up a bit tight I have been wearing them on my morning dog walks and they are now beginning to ease a little.

My only comment would be that the length of the little finger is slightly too short at the moment and I cannot put the full length in up to the web. I am hoping this will ease/stretch with time. Other than that I am very pleased with my purchase.

I used these gloves on a recent early season archery hunt for elk. They worked perfectly to keep my hands warm as I glassed for elk early in the day. While the XL fit me fine, I was surprised to find the fit was a bit different between gloves sporting the Optifade Subalpine fabric verse those with Optifade Open Country.

I tired on several pair of both camo pattern at the Sitka store in Bozeman to confirm there wasn’t a problem with one pair. nope, the gloves with Optifade Subalpine were slightly smaller. While all my other Sitka gear is Optifade Subalpine, I am not the owner of a pair of these gloves in Open Country.

I guess that would be considered a fasion faux pas anywhere else besides elk camp!.

Do you have abnormally long fingers? No need to worry with this glove. I ended up sizing down to a medium which fits snug and the fingers are only slightly longer. Forget the sizing guides and what you wear from other manufacturers and try these on first.

Now for the good. You can move in these. I mean easy and precise finger movement. Not waterproof, but i ran them under a faucet and dunked in a bucket. I’m guessing it’s the seams but it took a lot before my hands got wet.

It’s winter so I’m trying to see how they do in the cold. They aren’t a thick, heavy, insulated glove so keeping expectations in check.

This glove provides ample dexterity while surprisingly offering a decent amount of warmth. I’ve worn these gloves on all my sits starting October 1st and I am pleasantly surprised by the comfort and warmth they provide.

However they do not pair as well as I had hoped they would with the Stormfront glove. It is far too tight of a fit (I ordered both as Large). Additionally, they don’t have much durability. I wasn’t expecting too much durability, but I imagine I’m only going to get one more season out of them.

All in all, a good glove for the price, just wish they worked better with the Stormfront glove and were just a tad more durable.

At first I was a little skeptical because they looked a little thin but boy do these things keep your hands warm. I recently took them on a trip to Montana and to Yellowstone and they had a cold front with snow come through.

The temp got down to the high teens and low twenties but it warmed up a bit throughout the day. Luckily I remembered to pack these as they came in quite handy. If I would have been colder or been more outside, they I would have gotten colder but for our quick trips out of the car, they were perfect.

They have a great fit with my hands as I dont like loose fitting gloves. They kept my hands and fingers cozy and I was able to still take out my phone and use it with them on. I like the subtle texture pads on the inside so it was easy to grip and hold on to things.

Overall I am very impressed with these gloves and will be wearing them for quite some time.

Nice gloves. My son has worn them on 5 hunts already. Thin, which makes them good in warm weather. The grip on palms and fingers are good for holding things and somewhat good for keeping the occasional sticker or thorn out of his hands.

Great turkey hunting gloves, they fit snug and are exactly what you want in a turkey glove.

I was on the search (and still am) for a pair of gloves that could keep me warm and be DURTABLE enough to keep up. I was hopeful that First Lite’s “ultimate cold-weather hunting glove” would be the answer.

I started hunting in the mountains of Wyoming when I was a kid and I am 34 now. I currently hunt in the Rockies in Colorado. This was my first experience working with First Lite. Everything about these gloves listed on the website had me excited.

I thought the price tag was a little steep, but I had always heard good things about First Lite and figured it was a small price in the scheme of things. Especially when it comes with a “lifetime warranty”.

“We will replace any piece that’s performance in the field has been compromised by a manufacturer’s defect for the practical lifespan of the garment. ” – First Lite Website When I first received the gloves I was impressed by the dexterity in the hands.

The “leather” material seemed thin, but I had faith in First Lite to provide a quality product. The first couple of uses for these gloves was walking my dogs in a couple snow storms. There’s no doubt that these gloves are warm.

They are the warmest glove I have ever owned. If all you ever plan to do is walk your dogs or maybe do some glassing from just outside your vehicle, these might be a good choice. If you actually plan to hunt with these and touch anything, I would start making a new plan.

Two weeks after I received the gloves I went out on a hunt. Late February in the Rockies can bring on deep snow and ultra cold conditions. We were snowshoeing through some deep snow and I put my hand on a pine tree for support.

I pulled it back with a hole in the palm. It went straight through the paper thin “leather” and the wool liner. I couldn’t believe the luck that I managed to get a pair of gloves that were defective.

I used my old gloves that aren’t as warm, but they have held up to the elements the past 5 years, and they didn’t have a hole. In fact, after 4 more days, they still didn’t have a hole. Things happen, and luckily I choose a company that stands behind their products with a warranty.

I reached out to the warranty team at First Lite after I returned. It took me a couple weeks after the incident until I was able to get photos taken and uploaded. To my astonishment I received a message from a First Lite customer service representative: “I am sorry to inform you that we cannot proceed with your warranty request.

The reason we cannot move forward with a warranty is this issue appears not to be due to manufacturing but rather wear and tear in the field”. So much for that “lifetime warranty”. “Wear and tear in the field” feels like a pretty big stretch.

It’s starting to sound like the “ultimate cold-weather hunting glove” might ultimately be a paper bag over some nice wool liners. I responded back with a picture of the leather material with a piece of paper on top of it to show just how thin the material was.

This was surely a defect. How could a company with a good reputation that claims to have superior products that they will stand behind? I expressed my disappointment and urged First Lite to take a closer look to determine if this was what I should expect from First Lite products.

“First Lite takes pride in our products and will stand behind their quality. ” – First lite Website The follow up email from the customer service representative was again, disappointing. “I apologize for any frustration here and completely understand where you are coming from here but there is nothing in these images that indicates this was caused by a manufacturer defect”.

In my first response email, I asked that if this was not a defect, the least they could do would be to refund my purchase. These gloves weren’t even a month old and cost over $150 dollars. Instead of a cost free replacement or a refund, I was offered a 30% off discount to “replace” this item.

I already bought the “ultimate cold-weather hunting glove”. This is the top of the line of the gloves that First Lite sells. Spending 30% less on a second pair didn’t sound like a logical solution. It felt like a slap in the face.

My first (and last) experience with First Lite is just like their claim to stand behind their products; COMPLETELY WORTHLESS. Maybe I had a unique experience. It has left such a bad impression that I will NEVER buy another First Lite product again.

I hope this helps other sportsman and women with their decision, If this is your choice, I hope you have a better experience than I did.

Fit is great. The lining is very comfortable and worm. Have only used down into the low 30s high 20s and hands never got cold or wet when it was raining and snowing. Worked great for operating the atv and utv with the independent trigger finger.

I can fit a pair of the fingerless liners underneath and they fit great. I all so like the fact the liner can be removed for drying our to use as to separate mitts. This was my first order and experience with first lite and I am very impressed with the mitts and the other items I got.

I will continue to use first lite and will be purchasing more of thete stuff in the future.

I bought these mittens to see if it was possible for me to be comfortable on a duck hunt. My wife keeps asking me why I go back, since I have always been cold and miserable each time. The duck hunt is next week, on the Outer Banks of NC, but I can already say these are the warmest mittens I have ever used.

The problem is the well-insulated trigger finger is so fat, I can’t safely use them with my duck hunting guns, a Browning Citori or a Beretta 390. Southeastern Armory in Augusta, GA, sold me a bigger trigger guard that will fit my mitten finger.

It came attached to a Benelli SBE III. Now that these mittens have cost me this much extra, I sure hope I can stay warm on the hunt and get my wife off my back. :-).

We hunt Central Oregon with an average temp of 15-20 degrees with the wind and snow. These gloves are awesome all around. Warm and totally waterproof. The adjustable openings when putting them on are priceless.

I would highly recommend these for die hard waterfowl hunters.

Extremely comfortable pair of gloves that keep my hands really warm and dry being that they are 100% waterproof. Are perfect for setting up during hunting along with a great glove for shooting because they are not too bulky.

LOVE them!.

Stitching on both thumbs split after using them3 times

I bought these for ranch work, specifically for feeding and watering livestock. They really are waterproof and warm, unlike the other black and yellow gloves that I had purchased in store which made the same claims.

My hands were literally freezing in those other gloves, but in these they’re warm and toasty and dry. I’m not a huge camo fan, but these are (sorry, guys) really cute!.

Nice gloves, good camo pattern, fairly warm. I used these when the temp was in the high 20’s and my hands were warm most of the time.

Nice gloves seem to be good quality. And they are actually microfiber unlike the bibs.

Where do I begin. the little finger (pinky) on both gloves 9 out of 10 times you have to fight to line it up. Then once you do figure it out it’s still all twisted on the outside. Then after your hands sweat and you remove them ever so carefully so that the insides doesn’t pull out of each finger.

IMPOSSIBLE!! It took me roughly 6-7 minutes for each hand for me to fight my fingers back in & still it was uncomfortable!! Makes your fingernails feel ike they are getting ripped off! Well like I said your hands start to sweat so what comes next.

you guessed it! Your hands are now frozen! This was the last few days here in RI below zero on Sunday 01/24/2021 & today with snow! I should’ve known better than to buy Huntsworth! I wish I could return them! Waste of $35.

I have a collection of gloves looking for a pair that is warm and that I can shoot with, finally found a pair with these. I did find them to hold in moisture though after a prolonged use so taking them off was harder then expected, but still very happy with these.

Did not test waterproofing yet, just warmth and sizing which has been the main issue and the bonded material so I am not pulling out a liner so I can’t put them back on when I need them.

I have not had a chance to hunt in these gloves yet, but I can tell that they will be nice and warm. My only complaint is that they’re a little bulkier than the previous pair of Huntworth gloves I owned.

They are still thin enough to work a shotgun action/trigger though. My old style had been discontinued and these were the closest glove that Huntworth currently makes.

Decent gloves for the money. Not a cold weather glove however is warmer than some of the cold weather gloves I’ve tried. Fits to the hand well, good for shooting and or bow hunting. Good purchase overall.

These gloves are thick enough to provide some warmth. They provide excellent grip. I presume they cover scent on hands. The reason I like them above others is that they still are not so bulky as to interfere with safety and trigger functions.

Xl too small not available in XXL should be an option for that. Gloves have been sent back. Typical in the last few years From cabelas/bass pro. Not much available in XXL or wide boots.

Very good gloves, great fit and good price. The only problem I see is that they do not have clips that connect them. At some point I’ll lose them.

I use these when changing my trail camera cards and batteries so I don’t get scent on anything. They do run a little small so take that into account !

I have searched for a lightweight, insulated, waterproof glove for years and this glove has it all. Fits great: you can feel the trigger while remaining dry and warm. I have worn these on 8 upland hunts and 2 waterfowl hunts with no issues.

I have tested them in 20 degree weather and was more than satisfied with how warm they kept my hands. I would recommend these on cold days 40 degrees and below.

I own the Sitka Ascent, Mountain and Coldfront gloves all in size medium. When I purchased the first pair of the Traverse also in medium I could barely get my hand into them, after I wore them for a few minutes it felt like my fingers were going numb.

I gave that pair away and bought another in large which fit perfectly. When I went to Colorado they worked well as a liner inside my Coldfront’s. I’ve had these for well over a year now, used them through two fall hunting seasons and a spring turkey season.

Though there starting to show some wear they’ll get me through 2022. For a light weight glove they’ve held up pretty good and I’ll be buying another pair.

The glove fit is excellent, as such dexterity is also excellent. I use them for waterfowl hunting on cold days when having exposed skin is just not possible. They allow me to shoot and still somewhat use a “call”.

My complaint is that they are only mildly windproof, and there is no reason that this couldn’t be fixed especially for the price. They should also be waterproof for the price in my opinion. But they were not advertised as such so I really can’t complain about the lack of waterproofness.

Overall, a good glove with an exceptional fit.

We bought these gloves because we are searching hades and high-water from some WATERPROOF lightweight gloves. These were advertised as being “waterproof” and when we did a search for “waterproof gloves” these came up.

But these gloves are NOT waterproof. Part of the top sides of the gloves bead water off of them, but those top-parts are just a few panels, held together by lightweight polyester that the WATER RUNS RIGHT THROUGH.

So you have a few “waterproof” panels, attached to an entirely NOT WATERPROOF glove. Which renders those panels absolutely USELESS in real-life cold + driving rain conditions. A total waste of money.

Plus, just really irritating that these are sold as “waterproof” and they absolutely ARE NOT WATERPROOF.

The fit seems to match the size designation. The gloves are light weight and warm. A great feature is the interconnecting cloth strips between the fingers. These strips make the gloves so easy to take off.

The one feature I did not like was having to tuck the mitten portion back into the glove when I wanted my fingers exposed. A few pieces of velcro would make attaching the mitten portion to the glove to expose the fingers so much quicker and better.

That is the only reason for dropping one star.

I bought these gloves for an upcoming AK sheep hunt, knowing I’d need waterproof gloves that also had plenty of dexterity for gripping trekking poles and my rifle stock. So far, they’re great. The Pittards Oiltac leather doesn’t get mentioned enough but this material is awesome; it gives you that firm grip and tight hold (wet or dry) on whatever you need to grab.

The best part is that it’s not stiff, making it easy for your hands to curl around a trekking pole handle or water bottle. The gloves feel durable and that waterproofing is what I really needed. I was able to layer a pair of thin merino wool gloves underneath.

The layering worked but the fit was a teensy bit too tight. I’ll see how they feel in the winter. The gloves were easy to take off but held in place when the Velcro wrist band was cinched. I don’t think these are going to be the warmest gloves (that’s why I have the Northstar Glomitts) but they’ll do the trick in on a mid-season hunt in the rain.

Finally, I like the solid Gunmetal color since it shows up in both my Valo and Verde tops AND it’s a neutral color for non-hunting uses too. The only reason I’m giving 4* is because I haven’t used them in the field yet.

Let me start this by saying glove and i DO NOT GET ALONG. Ive always used brown jersey gloves you can buy in bulk at the farm stores. The reason for this is all the high dollar gloves ive bought in the past have made my hands sweat profusley, make them extremely cold by not breathing properly, or just get to damp from sweating.

Well let me say this. These glove so far have not and i repeat have not made my hands sweat on mid 60 degree fall days. I used them on the coldest morning this fall to go fishing and they did way better then expected that morning.

My hands didnt get cold and they didnt sweat and get slimy. They were about perfect to be honest. Only draw back ive had is some stitching on thenpalm of my left hand came loose, so i used a lighted to melt it down and into the palm material.

I really enjoy these gloves. If the wind isn’t blowing I can typically wear them by themselves, and be comfortable in 30 degree temps. I have raynaud’s disease, and wear gloves more than what a normal person would throughout a day.

As an example, I rarely hunt gloveless unless the sun is out, and its 60 degrees. My last pair lasted 3yrs, of hunting between 42-58 days a year. The thumb wore out where I would load shells into my shotgun.

They fit well enough I wouldn’t notice the thumb at all. I went ahead, and replaced them this year anyway. I like the idea of a spare set. I prefer the wool over the fleece because my hands sweat in the fleece, and get cold easily.

I like the feel and touch screen compatability in the fleece glove more so than the wool, but ultimately the wool wins for me.

I purchased the Super Down Pro Glassing Glomitt gloves (Size Large as my hand measures 7. 5 inches so I could have bought medim but bought one size up to wear over a liner glove) along with strongfleece 220 Glove (Size Medium-fits perfect- true to size) to be used a liner.

My intent is to use both these for my late season hunts where temps tend to get around zero degrees. As a test I took both gloves on a recent ski trip and the temperature was around 19 degrees. The Strongfleece 220 glove did not keep my hands warm by themselves at 19 degrees but when I put the Super Down Pro Glassing Glomitt gloves over the Strongfleece 220 glove my hands got toasty.

They got so toasty that I had to take the Glommit gloves off once in awhile to let my hands breath. I am very impressed with the Super Down Pro Glassing Glomitt gloves that I am now planning to buy the Super Down Pro Jacket and Pants to wear during my late season hunts.

Overall very impressed with these gloves and am very happy that I finally found a pair of gloves that will actually keep my hands warm in freezing temperatures. I do highly recommend these gloves!!!.

My hands get cold easily from various injuries, years of chainsaw use, and other heavy labor. My hands have always been an issue in the winter. The SUPER DOWN PRO GLASSING GLOMITT addressed those issues.

Had several long glassing sessions using the Glomitt in snowing conditions in the teens and they kept my hands toasty warm and functional for optic adjustments. I typically wear between a medium and large glove size but went with XL with these to leave room for a thin merino wool glove inside and more air space.

You can easily put your index finger in the designed finger when needed for trigger or optic adjustment or slide it over with the rest of the hand for extra warmth. Love these things. Waited way too long to invest in them.

If you’re digits are cold and you’re miserable, you’re not focused, and you’re not glassing. Light and functional with the compressibility you need for a backcountry hunt. Great product.

Finally, warm fingers for Minnesota bow hunting. Fall morning temps dip into the teens, and it gets worse when the wind picks up. No heat packs? No problem. On a recent hunt, 18 F and 15 mph winds, I wore these cinched tightly over merino liners, and for the first time pretty much ever, my hands stayed warm.

As the day warmed up, I wore them loosely inside my pockets so that when I pulled my hands out the mittens stayed behind. When it got even warmer, I slid my gloved hands behind the mittens inside my pockets.

They weigh next to nothing and pack down nicely inside my pack. Just knowing they’re in there is peace-of-mind I’ve never had before. The first time I tried them this year I had heat packs along, thinking I might have to add a couple inside the mittens.

Nope. I also had them along for late fall musky fishing. The retaining straps are really a great addition. When it’s time to grab a rod, the mittens slide off easily and stay secure around my wrists.

These gloves are incredible. I have two pairs of gloves from orvis. The winter gloves and the mid season gloves. I have never owned a pair of hunting gloves better than them. Winter gloves are thick for obvious reasons but are lighter and don’t feel like winter gloves.

Spend the money on them and you won’t be disappointed. I’ve hunted pheasants and quail this season a tremendous amount and they hold up through anything.

Calling these gloves “cold weather” gloves is an overstatement, in my opinion. I would say they are ok down to around 40 degrees. They did not keep my hands warm much below that. Also, the interior lining is not well attached to the outer lining which makes for a sloppy feel and poor sensitivity / feel in your trigger finger.

For these reasons, I also feel they are too expensive for what you get.

Bought these for Trap, upland hunting, etc…. For one it was about 38-42 degrees in northern Michigan and my hands were super cold…secondly after running through wobble and sporting the gloves stretched so bad my thumb was caught while loading shells several times.

Love Orvis products, just not this one. Hopefully they allow me to return for a smaller size that will stretch to fit as they should or to exchange for a different pair. Or is does a good job with their gear, just not this glove apparently.

I am not a hunter but a wildlife photographer. My practice is extremely similar to bow hunting, made of approach and hiding. As such I often stay immobile for long period of time in cold weather and carry heavy equipment.

I am always looking for equipment advanced, light, efficient and well camouflaged equipment. KUIU stuff , and this gloves in particular is always exceeds my expectations.

Being 105 degrees, I have not had a chance to try them on the field. I needed a glove to keep my hands warm and dry while driving my side by side. I normally wear the merino gloves while hunting and these fit well over the top.

I have wide hands so I bought the extra large. The fingers are a little long.

These gloves do what they say they will do; especially light in the backpack. The allowance for a gove liner makes them fee extra big. I ordered my normal size medium and they seem like they are XL because even with a liner they are a little big.
