Check out the Core 4 gloves on camofire when available. We use them & love them for bowhunts & rifle hunts, they perform very well. I'm getting a second pair myself. Click on the camofire above banner daily until they finally come back up, they are under 10.00 to boot!

This year, I'm trying Sitka gloves. Not cheap, but I'm impressed with teh fit & the grip. But again, I'm a glove-aholic and have enough gloves to literally open a store! I always buy gloves if I see a pair I like, regardless that I already own enough for two compelte lifetimes!

Curvebow, I've been meaning to check the Sitka gloves out, they do look nice, I was worried about bulk?

i'm pretty lucky. i never really need gloves cuz my hands get cold. even a thin layer is pretty comfy for me.

i wear thin slippery gloves. the kind that have those tiny silicon dots for grip. cheap, and i swear my bow accuracy goes up. if it is really cold, i put a thin pair of synthetic underneath.

+1 on the Under Armour liners. They are my go to until it gets about 30*. Great fit, non-slip palms & fingers, and very lightweight and compact.

I had a gift card from Amazon ... so I bought the Sitka gloves ...

Gotta say -- not impressed. Multiple threads unraveling within the first camping trip ... and we're not talking about heavy use ... just leading a horse on a trail.

I do have a little of their other stuff, including a Sitka-45 pack, and I've been impressed with that, but the gloves -- "not so much".

I am going to try some home repairs to get them through the season ... but they won't last much longer.

Love my under armour ridge reaper gloves! the liner gloves are great also. i have very poor circulation in my finger tips from years of ice fishing in the upper peninsula of michigan. these gloves are form fitting, yet somehow promote good circulation, in turn keep my fingers warm. great gloves for upland hunting also.

My go to gloves are the jersey gloves I can usually pick up for about 50 cents per pair or less if I can find the bulk packages. I just carry multiple pairs in case they get wet. By about 9 o'clock I don't need gloves on anymore ;)

I bought a pair of the new Kuiu merino liners and Yukon gloves. I have to say I am unimpressed. I will be reverting back to my old climbing gloves again this season and not using the new ones. I feel that the fit was poor on these golves. The liners finger length was too short and the diameter of the fingers in the Yukon shell was way too big.

Filson rag wool fly fishing gloves - fingerless. They're great to shoot with, thin, light, and they keep the palms and backs of my hands warm.

I think Pok3s must have just about cleaned out the store before I arrived. Fortunately I have small hands and there were some of those cheap jersey gloves left. I will also buy the gloves timber cutters wear if Pok3s gets to the store before me next time. They are the same price and maybe a little better. The problem is that, you may have to stop buy a place that caters to loggers to find them. Fortunately I have a good supply of jersey gloves and like Pok3s, I don't use them much.

I am using angler gloves from Buff. They have a pleather palm and a spandex back. They have the half fingers on them. I find them very comfortable. For those days when it is real cold I use the Chili Grips.
