Default gloves for cold weather

best gloves for hunting in cold weather.
i was looking at the under armour, but the reviews are pretty bad, i need something to keep my hands warm in - 15 weather, (my hands get cold easily btw)
thanks
something that bass pro (even wholesale) sells would be nice as its on my way up to hunt

Grab yourself a set of mitts and wear those thin white cotton "string" gloves that you get at Mark's Work World inside. 10 pairs or so for $10. They'll keep your hands off the steel etc. while you're doing more finicky work.

I have the under armour and they are cold. I got the Scott gloves at a quad place and they are better. They are very tight at the top and hard to get on but I think that is what holds the heat in. You can also get gloves that have a trigger finger in them. Then if that finger gets cold you can move it into the glove part with the rest of the fingers.

I use a pair of wool mitts as liners in leather mitts. Just have to take one off to shoot. I also wear the tight hellyhansen gloves underneath for loading the gun ect.

Default Gloves

I'm not sure what kind mine are, but they have a pouch on the back of the fingers that zips closed. Those hotshots or hand warmer things fit perfect in that pouch and do a lot to keep the gloves warm. Those little packs are super cheap at the dollar store and can be stored and reused as long as you put them in an air tight baggy. So...not exactly a glove reccomendation, but these warmer things do a lot to keep my hands and feet warm.

cant beat a leather gauntlet with wool or thinsulate liner, I have all kinds of expensive gloves and mits and nothing beats the leather rig gauntlets

I bought a pair of these flip mitt gloves last year when it was super cold last November and with a hand warmer in the pouch my hands were toasty warm. If you have to do any small chores like undoing a buckle, tying string, etc you just flip the top of the mitt over and away you go. Once you're done flip them back and they'll get toasty warm again. For shooting your finger fits in the trigger guard great. For me they are the best thing going and not at all expensive.

I wear a pair of Canadian Tire knit camo gloves under my heavy mitts - they're about $4 and have little rubber bead that let you grip but still feel what you're doing. The system works great for me.

BTW the heavy mitts are similar to the leather gauntlets in a previous post.

I most shamefully have to reply that MEC has a variety of mix and match systems that you develop to your own liking.

I picked up a pair of Hy-Arctic mitts for extreme cold, which are the Canadian military arctic issue mitts, and so far they seem very warm and durable.

I wear a wool glove inside a mitt with a battery powered heater in them. Calling coyotes in -38 and fingers are toasty warm. Peel mitt off to shoot.

Bought them at Canadian Tire but see Cabelas has some but they only had medium size.

Just bought a pair of Canadian Goose Down mitts from Wholesale and they're the best i've owned in my life. Full day outside in -30 and i'm not cold. Have had cold hands my entire life until now
