Gloves for winter shooting?

[nerwin]

I'm wondering if anyone here at TPF can give me a recommendation on camera gloves for shooting in the cold?

I know there are some out there but I wanted to see if anyone here actually owns a pair that could provide feedback.

Depends on how extreme the cold. I have a pair of Mechanix gloves (<$25 at any auto store). They are available in a variety of thicknesses and allow for all necessary dexterity, but they won't be much good in really cold weather.

I was checking these out, seem pretty interesting. I wish a store around me would have these in stock so I try them but I don't have that kind of luck up here.

Freehands Men's Stretch Thinsulate Gloves (Medium, Black)

These are neat too, but I could still see myself not being able to press tiny buttons lol.

I bought the Freehands Unlined Fleece folding back magnet finger tips, I spent a couple hours out In 26 degrees and they kept my hands pretty warm and I had no issues with the controls. Mine are not water proof, but I'm not making snowballs with them so shouldn't be a problem. One thing you should be aware of theses gloves run larger then I expected.I have about average size hands and the finger tips are a tad longer and I went with mens small so measure twice order once.

I just wear my black leather lined dressy type gloves. I was surprised that they worked OK a couple days ago. My issue is I have big hands and can't find gloves that fit me.

I hate shooting bare handed in the cold weather, they will look like lopsters after a while haha. It doesn't matter, I don't function well it the cold anyways, all I think about is getting warm rather than shooting, unless there is an interesting subject that's worth the pain and suffering lol. Those are usually the best shots!

That would be cool as ****. Just think, could be hanging with You, Gary, and Frank at the drive-in drinking choice wine, developing film, eating excellent barbeque, and harrasing his dog, wife, and neiborhood.... Good times...Man that sounds excellent..,. Add limr and the P A R T Y is complete... Now that's what I'm talking about!

That's not an option for me right now, haha. But it sure sounds good.

Have a look at fishing gloves, I have a couple of pairs of neoprene ones with fold over fingers that have kept frostbite at bay on many a cold, wet outing.
