nhglyn Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Can anyone recommend cold weather shooting gloves. I shoot IPSC and want something thin, but warm for our Winter matches up here in NH. Any websites etc. would be appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carinab Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Go to a ski shop and ask for liner gloves. They are thin with enough dexterity to load mags but are really warm because of the pocket on the back side. It's designed to hold one of those hand warmer packets. Since the blood supply for your fingers passing right by the warmer, your fingers stay nice and toasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerT Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Being in Northern IL, I shoot year round. I personally like the warmest gloves I can find, and don't worry about how well they work for shooting. When it is my time to LAMR, I will be wearing almost the same thing I do when I shooting the summer. Once I am done, then the jacket, gloves, and hat go back on. If I'm in the zone, it could -80 degrees, and I wouldn't notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybrosh Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Blackhawk Hellstorm Tactical Gloves-Cold weather Hatch Cold weather gloves *I personally love Blackhawk...but haven't had the chance of using their cold weather gear. I love my my Light Assault Hellstorm SOLAG gloves. No personal experience with Hatch. There are 'mini' glove inserts, a glove on glove, that could solve warmth issue within a normal pair of gloves. Tried it one, didn't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ong45 Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 (edited) Check out these wrist bands, It's supposed to warm the blood flow to the hands. When shooting in cold weather, my hands are chilly but dexterity is maintained. Pretty good compromise. http://www.campmor.com/webapp/wcs/stores/s...mberId=12500226 James Edited October 27, 2005 by ong45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loves2Shoot Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 (edited) Gloves, gloves, gloves... ...we don't need no stinkin' gloves... but, mechanix gloves fit like a second skin, if you must. I prefer a portable propane heater. Edited October 27, 2005 by Loves2Shoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Cheely Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 I have some thin cycling gloves that would work ok. I don't think I could wear anything with bulk at all. I'd just rather freeze my hands for 60 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attila Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 The one time I shot in the cold, I used a oversized heavyweight glove to keep my hands warm. During the stage I wore a nomex flight glove that I would keep on under the larger gloves in between stages. The flight gloves arent the best for warmth, but they give you good dexterity and feel and the short amount of time I had only them on, it really wasnt too bad.

GuildSF4 Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 + several on the mechanics gloves. I got mine at Checker Auto, you can get simular ones at Lowes/Home Depot. They are warm, and I have no problem loading magazines and shooting with them on. (PS - They are very durable also). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougCarden Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 When the weather is above 20degrees I wear "shorty" operator gloves from Hatch. They are form fitting and allow incredible dexterity, I can pick up a quarter off of a flat surface with them. When it gets colder I use the form fitting knit gloves with the rubber nubby grip surface by Manzella, available at ski shops. Just be careful on the slide action, or you will have an opening on your shooting thumb area(thanks Beretta). DougC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of makes me want to "march up and down the square" for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
