shooting gloves

[Andrew68]

Where can I find thin, but warm gloves fit for shooting? Name brands I can search online? Thanks.

I'm not sure how "warm you want them. I have a pair of Blackhawks that work well, not too heave, not thermal, do well for the temps I'm willing to shoot in. (Hate the cold). They seem to be wearing well.

I also have a set of driving gloves by "Bionic". They are thin and fit firm, but flex well. I've not used them for shooting (only driving) but they may do the trick.
And no, there are no annoying noises or increased speed with these gloves.

Mechanix. Mine just arrived today. They have several styles. I have two pair. The mpact which is lightly padded and the original Covert, they are lighter and thinner. Still provide some warmth.

IndianaJoe did a nice review on Seirus Hyperlite gloves...

Hatch makes some good shooting gloves.

Gloves are not really very good for keeping your hands warm because they allow air to circulate between your fingers. Thin gloves are definitely not going to keep your hands warm, especially if they're holding onto a cold gun. The only thing that I have found from years of working outside in winter that works are mittens and ice fishing gloves. Neither of which are of any use for shooting. The best thing to do is get some pocket hand warmers and keep your hands warm and then shoot for a couple of minutes and then warm your hands back up. In cold weather it's pretty easy to keep your body warm but the extremities like feet and hands will lose blood flow quickly as the blood flows back into your body to keep your internal organs warm. Most of your body's heat escapes through the top of your head. Keep your head covered up and your hands will be a little better off. Once your ears get cold the feet and hands go next.

I'm surprised it took 7 responses before this link was posted. I have them, and recommend them.

I agree with jeremy, but I may be somewhat biased.

I'm still using these as all-weather shooting gloves and they have held up much better than I initially theorized.

I still feel that the $30 price tag is tough to swallow at first, but I would certainly say they are worth it.

I have been using mine for over a Year now and these things are still going strong.

Crazy isn't it? I was sure the thin material would have given up by now, but its held up really well.

I went to buy a pair over the weekend, but they are sold out. I blame esrice's review.

Yeah I have been using them as everything gloves...
I work outside Daily regardless of the Weather. From playing at Capentry, to working on Vehicles, to cutting firewood, to you name these gloves are just unstopable.

The only caveat I have is they are great up until it gets cold enough you should put on real Winter gloves...

Even then though I use them as glove liners in my insulated gloves!

Agreed 100%. I found ~30 degrees to be the cutoff at which they were less effective at stopping the cold. These aren't "warm up your hands" kinda gloves, they are "keep the cold out for a while" gloves. And I'll take that compromise given the fantastic dexterity they allow.

And the liner idea works too!

I picked up a pair of paratrooper gloves for cold weather shooting. They are a leather & cloth mix & they fit kind of snug. I haven’t used them yet but it sounded like a good idea at the time.

Some photographer's gloves work well for shooting. The finger tips can be exposed or closed (like mittens). Try looking at large websites for professional photographers.
