cold weather gloves recommendations?

I'm hoping to hunt next year.  I shoot using a leather finger tab with spacer.  My tabs have an adjustable elastic strap, and so can accommodate gloves.

I am looking for suggestions for thin, cold weather gloves with good dexterity, and which would work well shooting with a leather tab.

A good camo pattern would be a plus.

Best wishes,
Frank

Don't worry about camo. I use Thinsulate and fleece lined ragg wool glo mitts. Just wear my tab over the fingerless glove and flip the mitten back to shoot.

Not sure what you consider to be cold, but when it's cold in Minnesota, I wear thin cotton gloves with Glomits over top of them.  The tab slips on just like if you had regular gloves on.  I keep the "mitt" cover part over my fingers until I figure I'm going to get a shot, then flip it open and get ready.  Even if I have to wait for a while, the thin cotton gloves keep my shooting fingers warm enough for a short time.

Here is what i used this season in Alberta, hunted in -10°C and felt just fine. You have to get accustomed to holding the bow with it though. But still shoot the same with it, just feels different at first.

Lots of glove/mitten combos out there, and that is the best that I have found.  30 degrees and up, I use a thin spandex glove on my bow hand, and just my shooting glove on my string hand, and keep my hands in my pockets with a handwarmer.  I do not believe there is a merino glove out there that will work for me when it is below 30 and windy.

Fix the strap of a good hand muff to your waist, then place a couple big chemical hand warmers inside. Wear jersey gloves and keep them inside the hand muff until shot presents itself.

Walking in and out, wear big heavy mittens over the jerseys or heavy gloves. Once to location, place heavy mittens/gloves in a day or fanny pack and do as described above

I like surplus pilots gloves, muff, and chemical hand warmers.

I have some very thin Under Armor gloves that I wear, but I don't think there is a glove of any kind that will keep my fingers warm in the cold. I wear the thin gloves and my tab over them and keep my string hand in a muff or pocket with a hand warmer.

If stand hunting jersey gloves and a muff work fine, If your moving (still hunting) I have a pair of the glomits like Gil showed above, they work great, mine have a small pouch behind the fingers where you can use one of the small chemical warm packs.

I am with Shadowhnter on this one.  I use a camo fleece muff with hand warmers inside for 20 degrees and colder.  I use a large wool mitten shoved into a pant pocket for shooting hand if not too cold. I wear a thin lightweight camo glove on bow hand.

Muff for me as well. I use gloves to and from but nothing works when it is cold like a muff.

I just got a tab and was wondering how I might make that work in cold weather. Those hybrid mittens are a great idea. Ill just wear my Merino Wool lightweights under that. Great idea!
