I generally wear a thin pair of gloves (wool when I can find them) and cut the three fingers off the string hand. Seems like I don’t see them for sale like I used to in just the right thickness (doesn’t matter if camo).
Recommend name, why you like and where to get please. I hunt.northern MI and some days it’s 10-20 degrees with wind

Well Ray, I don't know who makes them?
But I have a few pair of poly fleece camo gloves around, that I absolutely love!!!
I cut the fingers on 2 Rt hand gloves, and they have never frayed, and still going strong!
Added bonus.... They dry very quickly, when they get wet :thumbsup:
I think I bought them years ago at Dick's, and they were only a few bucks a pair.
-
I buy the ones that runners use. You can go to a sporting goods store and go to the area that sells running gear. The really thin ones with wind stop are great.
Another thing they sell are fleece masks/hoods with windstop...these are great too.
-
I use regular ole $2 jersey gloves in a tight size... Then if it gets a little colder, another pair over top with cut slits in three fingers to poke my leather shooting glove through...
-
I have used wool gloves with half fingers purchased at fishing stores, like the ones at Cabela's. Use a full finger on the bow hand, or carry your bow under your arm with hand warmers in your coat pockets, aka Fred Bear.
There are three pairs on this page.

On really cold or wet days I use those thin jersey gloves like Zbone.
I put one pair on, then slip a thin rubber glove over them and slip on another pair of gloves, waterproof, windproof and warm and not very bulky.
-
The best I knew of and I’m not sure if they’re still available is the kangaroo leather shooting gloves from cabelas. They were pricey so I’d get them after season cheap.
-
Runners gloves is a good idea. I have a pair of light spandex/poly gloves that is all I need for Texas.

Filson wool fingerless gloves are absolutely great.
They are warm, and they wear like iron. Typical Filson best quality.
-
What Joe said. If not Filson, definitely still wool, as you know they will still work if wet, damp, or moist.
I picked up a nice pair a few years ago but I have no idea who made them as I cut the tag off as usual.
-
Along the same lines as the Filson, the First Lite Talus glove has been one of my go to kit items for years. Mind you I'm in Texas, but I have worn it in temperatures in the 30's and been very pleased with them.

I've tried quite a few and always come back to the green Army Surplus wool glove liners. While they are called liners, they're as thick as most wool outer gloves by other brands I've tried and seem warmer to me. I think they're 70% wool, 30% nylon and you can pick them up for under $10 at multiple places on-line.

I have worn wool military glove liners with good results. I also have some thin fleece gloves that I like. Being a tab user, I don't need to cut fingers out of any of these gloves. Fortunately, our southern winters are not so bitter as you northern and western guys contend with.

This was what i used to do also, but what I use now if hunting in a tree stand is a fleese mitten that has the fold over finger covers. I wear my regular finger guard under the mitten and fold the finger cover back, fastens with velcro, when I see a critter coming.
-
Always bought a cheap pair of wool gloves in a dollar store and cut of middle three fingers of string hand. Most do not unravel too much and are good for a few seasons. Bow hand, lightest weight needed depending on temperature. From thin leather (batting or golf type) to heavier as season goes on.
-
I have a couple pairs of fleece mittens that the finger tips flip off on. The only problem I had was I shoot a glove which obviously caused a problem when trying to strap the glove on. What I ended up doing was just cutting the part that flips over off of the right glove and it works great. Nice and warm and I can shoot easily with them on. Another thing, if you get a pair of these, get the ones that have rubber on the palm if you can. I've had pairs that were all fleece and pairs with the rubber pad, and if you shoot a wood riser like I do with no wrap, the fleece is kind of slippery on the grip.
-
I use fleece mittens like elkken and Trenton G, I just slip my tree finger glove through the three open fingers (ok, I force them through). Works good for me I also have one of those waist muff things to keep my shooting hand in until I need it. Bow hand stays gloved and on the bow.
-
I too prefer wool due to still works when wet. And I also shoot with a tab, but cut the fingers as I like to feel the string like normal. I've been using the surplus wool liners for decades. Love em. :campfire:

Winter soft golf gloves work well [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

I bought a pair of BruceRiver knit wool gloves with Thinsulate last year for photography last year. I plan on using them in the late season this year. For a warm glove, they don't have much bulk and would make a great glove for bowhunting.
-
I have tried different types of gloves, but have always come back to a thin pair of jersey gloves with the fingers cut off for my shooting glove, and use hand warmers when it gets really cold. I have an Asbell pathfinder and use two handwarmers in the front pocket, and when it gets really cold for late season, I have a fleece hand warmer muff that I use two hand warmers in.

look up Nomex flight gloves, thin and warm
-
Thank you for all the great responses!! I ended up going with the Bruce river wool gloves with thinsulate lining. This is similar to what I had before a few years ago. Even though I use a tab, I cut finger stalls off first three fingers because I want feeling to be same always
-
Thin glove liner of silk or other material, then a fingerless wool (or upgraded to alpaca or buffalo)glove, then your shooting glove over the whole thing.

Same. First lite or filson, if it’s warmer kuiu

A few years ago I started using a hand muff, boy has that made things more comfortable.
I wear thin pair of gloves in the muff and pull my hands out when getting ready for the shot.
If it is really cold add some small chemical hand warmers that are activated by oxygen.
