    Hey guys, after realizing that gloves are a good investment, I'm in the market to get some. Which ones do you guys like and which ones are you using? Most of my clothes are Mossy Oak Breakup Infinity so if it would match that would be great, but not necessary. Thanks.

    Gloves

    I like the Bow Ranger gloves by Manzella. They do not come in Mossy Oak Break Up but they do come in AP or M.O. Treestand. I really like them.

    I was looking at Under Armours gloves. But none of them looked heavy enough and the one was too heavy. The Idylwild gloves looked kind of promising but they didn't get good reviews on the websites that I found. How low have you taken your liner gloves down to, Fitz?

    Temp wise? Once it starts hitting 30s or colder I take my hand muff. With the gloves and muff the coldest I've sat in was -17.

    One other reccomendation would be Limbsaver's insulator strip...

    When the temps drop and you have a deer coming in, the riser of your bow can be quite cold. I had to set my bow down and grab a handwarmer once while a deer was still comming in. This fixed that issue.

    I went with the lightest gloves they had. I can use them all season long and it won't effect my grip, anchor, or my grasp of the release.

    I even cut the tips of the fingers on one so I can use my iPhone with them on.

    I have a cheap pair of remington gloves that I use all season, when it gets cold I use a muff with some hand warmers.

    ok I have a bunch of gift cards for Amazon so I will have to see what they have in stock there. Thanks guys, I did a lot of thinking how cold my fingers were when I was sitting in the stand yesterday. Finally realizing that I need gloves.

    Honestly, I look at my gloves as camo for my hands, and the hand muff (or pockets of my fleece pullover) too keep my hands warm.

    Under Armour liner gloves are plenty even in colder weather if you have a couple handwarmers or a hand muff

    UA Liner gloves for me as well. When it's really cold, my hands go inside my pockets. Bulky gloves + bowhunting = not good.

    I go buy the 5 dollar black poly dipped thin gloves at the parts store. Camo pattern on gloves doesn't really make much sense to me. You're really just needing to make it so your hands aren't exposed. Please don't take this the wrong way, but if I was African American, I'd only ever wear a glove in cold weather on my risor hand. Up until November, I would never wear gloves. Gloves to me are just to cover up my white hands.

    I used Under Armor's liner gloves and keep them in my jacket pockets as much as I can. I switch to a hand muff when the temp drops below freezing. Both my hands and release stay nice and toasty.
