Thread: Gloves

I use these ones https://nzsafetyblackwoods.co.nz/en/...l-pair--404314
which are pretty similar to the ones already posted. An alpine guide put me onto these and I rate them - great grip, reasonably warm, not too bulky, and cheap as chips so you can carry a spare pair

Ninja Ice gloves, Used to get them at Bunnings.

Next level Ninja, water resistant all the way around which would be great for my boating activities. I'll try some on, but I bet the smallest size are too big for my lady like hands!

So I went crazy and bought a pair. Of all the money I've blown on outdoor gear, these are good value at $13.90. Bizarrely, XL was an almost perfect fit, so don't know who they were designed for, small children? The dexterity isn't quite there for me and hunting, but if I was somewhere really cold, I might get over it.

I bought some of the standard 'Ice Ninja' gloves a couple of years ago. Got wet, no good, unless conditions are totally dry. The blue Esko Polar gloves on the same Blackwoods page would be my pick. Dont loose a glove in cold conditions - ask me how I know.
I still think a ski glove would beat freezer gloves

Yes, that's why you need the "full coat" version. I dipped my hands in the sink last night and all good.

When we were kids my mother would sew an elastic band or some string to our mitts, pass the string through the sleeves of our jackets and we never lost a glove after that. Could be useful if you have to take one glove off in a hurry and don't have time to find a pocket for it.

I've used fingerless neoprene fishing gloves. Grippy palms and dexterous enough. Not in winter conditions though, although they may work as an under layer
My last trip i wore possum and merino knit gloves. Kept new warm even when wet but picked up a whole bunch of hookgrass seeds so won't be using them again in a hurry

Identify your target beyond all doubt because you never miss (right?) and I'll be missed.
