What are the best gloves to keep your hands warm? I had a pair of wool,gortex thinsulate gloves for years. They were good. A little pricy. Turned inside out when they went through the dryer. Prone to rips. I'll get another pair if I have to because they kept my hands warm. Just thought you guys might know of something better.

I carry some very thin Under Armor gloves with extra long wrists in my pack. However, I very rarely use them because I don't practice shooting with them on. To keep my hands warm I keep them in sweat shirt or goose down jacket pockets. My hands are generally the last part of me that gets cold.
There are probably no gloves that will actuallly keep your hands warm on a stand. In the early season use the chemical hand warmers and will put 3-4 in each pocket. Later on I will use the chemical warmers with a pair of wool golves like the so-called "glomit"...glove/mitten and try to keep my hands out of the ambient air.
On the really cold days, I'll do that and ask the Lord to bring my deer in early because He and I need to get out of the cold and go home. Sometimes that actually works.....
Not good enough for ice fishing, but black Winter Golf Gloves work great bow hunting for me. I wear a shooting tab over them and practice with them also. When not real cold I wear a pair of black Browning Shooting Gloves.
The golf gloves were twelve bucks and the shooting gloves were eighteen bucks. I get about six or seven seasons from each of them.
You can spend a lot more on Sitka gloves, which are nice, but it just doesn't seem worth it to me.

I keep my hands in my wool pockets while sitting with my light shooting gloves on. Some use hand muffs two. I would find it difficult to where something heavy on my hands while shooting. I practice all year with light gloves so that is how I prefer to hunt also.
