Gloves for late fall fishing

[alpinedust]

Do you guys wear a neoprene glove or something later in the season? Got a bit cold when our hands were soaking wet and it was around 0 and windy last weekend. As it gets colder, still want to be able to keep fishing, as tying and casting get a lot tougher when the hands don't cooperate in the cold.

I’ve used fingerless wool and fleece gloves for years and find the wool best when your hands get wet. My hands don’t take the wet cold that well anymore and might try putting a hand warmer pack on the backs of my hands under the glove to see if that helps. Whether it’s my centerpin or fly fishing, fingered gloves just don’t work for me.

ya fingerless flip top wool/fleece things... all winter long.
another thing is make sure your waders have hand warming pockets!

These look interesting.

Thanks I'll pick up some fingerless gloves and try them out

Kast gloves are very good, better than seal skinz gloves imo, a lot more feel....was going to share a link but seems they are relaunching their website, but can still find them in stock at retailers

between these gloves and a backup set of cheap wool gloves from surplus herbies, my hands are good for winter river fishing

Pinks are open on the tidal Fraser below the Mission bridge aren't they?

No gloves. Use high absorbent towel. Hands in southern bc only get cold when wet. Rarely does it go bellow 5c° That's what works best for me. And if they do get cold, I just put them in my pockets for a bit.

hahahah...that reminded me of when I was a boy scout....our polite way of excusing ourself from sitting around a winter campfire to go pee was …"I need to go warm my hands"...heheheh

They will last for years. I use them on the coast for blacktail rainforest weather, and for the Interior when its dry and cold. If they get soaking wet from rain, just take them off and squeeze all the water out of them and put them back on and you're golden and still just as warm. I don't leave home without them

Just get basic walmart wool gloves and cut the fingers out.
I bought 10 pairs from Army & Navy years ago and still haven't used them all up.

Unless of course you don't want to buy shit made in China and give the Walton family any of your money, then look at the link I provided as you will be supporting a small family business and they're made in the USA (plus you can't beat bison wool)

Fish for Winter Steel. I have had boulders the size of a bowling ball freeze to by wader boots! Guides that freeze up continuously. And drying your hands will last about 3 seconds in the sleet.
now i hate gloves as well! but here, they are a necessity.

Everything I buy is made in China.
Even when it says made in Canada, it's made in China.
Or the raw materials come from China and it's "assembled" somewhere else.
Countries have adjusted their laws to make the labeling requirements such that it's easier to hide where the product is made.
Because it's racist otherwise.
I think the only thing you can surely know where it comes from is food products. If you go to a local farm and buy it, the likelihood is high that it's local.
But I appreciate the sentiment.

So buying bison wool gloves from the Bison farm where bison are raised means that there's a high likelihood that the wool came from that farm - glad we can agree on that.

But still don't understand why you'd rather give your money to China and the Walton family rather than a small business based in North America - whatever floats your boat.

Here's a quote from the Competition Bureau of Canada's website "No false or misleading information can be placed on the label. The product must conform with claims made on the label relating, for example, to type, quality, performance, function, origin, and method of manufacture. "Product of Canada" and "Made in Canada" claims are subject to specific assessment criteria."

Does that sound like Canada "adjusted their laws to make the labeling requirements such that it's easier to hide where the product is made."?

I did not know that " Countries have adjusted their laws to make the labeling requirements such that it's easier to hide where the product is made." Can you please provide a link where I can read more about what countries have done this?

Sounds like finger-less wool gloves are pretty popular. The Kast gloves look great too, trying to find a Canadian retailer.

Wouldn't be a good HBC thread unless it got derailed hahaha. But yes I can appreciate buying North American whenever possible. Have made the effort for the past couple of years to look for a NA made option if I'm buying something. You'd be surprised how much you can find that's still made in NA. Sometimes you pay much more, but I've noticed the increased durability makes up for the cost by a long shot.

No, I wouldn't give my money to China, you misunderstand me. I would rather give no money to China.

Whatever competition bureau puts out, is mostly crap.
You have to really dig into the details.
I saw a documentary a few years back relating to Germany, where they modified their regulations to allow labeling to say made in Germany but all the products are made in China.
For example it is well known that China produces all bicycle parts and whole bikes.
Germany has changed their laws so that they never import fully assembled bikes from China, only parts.
So they put the bikes together in Germany, but everything is made in China.
But they put made in Germany labels.
I'll let you decide how you want to classify that as made in Germany or made in China.

It's well known that China is pretty much the largest if not the only manufacturer of bike parts.

Canada, for example, is one of the biggest enemies of proper origin labeling.
Because in Canada we are woke and we don't really make anything.
I don't think we even label GMO foods. (this may be outdated info)
But Europe is leaps and bounds ahead of us in the product labeling game.

I can't give you any specific links, I could google it, just like you can. But the info is there.
You just have to dig into the details.

I have seen some Simms gloves (neoprene maybe) that i guess are water proof?
Not sure, but they keep them in a locked glass case and go for like 100$!
I think OR does make some thin gloves that are water proof also (goretex i think), if they still make them and are thinner as well?

[Jack Russell]

Zippo handwarmer - they work great. I find gloves, especially tight fitting and/or wet gloves are not helpful. I can’t fish with gloves as I don’t like the lack of touch when I’m fishing

Simms windstopper fold-overs.
