Title: Hot weather gloves
Post by: catrancher on February 05, 2012, 05:41:23 PM
I just got done reading the thread on facemasks, it was so helpful I thought I would ask what is recommended to cover your hands in hot weather.  I am new to the site but I absolutely love it.  Can't wait for March 31! (Texas opening day)

I wear my mesh gloves once the temps get up. H.S. has them. Prolly only 5-7 bucks a pair.

I have never found mesh gloves I cared for.  Too slick.  Maybe just the wrong brand?

The ones I have have a fabric palm with the rubber beads for grip.

I use Cabela's Camo Skin gloves.  Have gripper palms as well.  Very nice and light with fairly long cuff.

Primos stretch fit gloves are a good inexpensive choice for hot weather. UA cold weather gloves work well but are pricey.

It is not unusual to be chasing turkeys in the 90's in central Texas, even then do you recommend UA Cold Weather?  Thanks for all the responses, I haven't worn the Cold Weather but unless they breath like crazy I gotta think they would get a little toasty.

Nope not toasty at all.  They actually wick the moisture away from your hands.

I use BassPro branded lightweights.  Very comfortable and they breathe well.

I've been wearing the primos stretch gloves the last few springs.  I've got some mesh gloves, but they've never felt good to me and if its hot I'm usually dealing more with keeping the rest of me cool so I don't think much about my hands.

I have a pair of mesh gloves with the rubber nobs on them but have never used them, it hasn't got warm enough for me to worry about hot hands, most of the time I am looking ofr warmer gloves.
I use cotton camo gloves with the rubber nobs on them.
gotta get a couple pair soon.

I have found that most mesh gloves will not last through to the end of a single season.

I have 2 pairs of long-cuff camo jersey gloves. Early in the season, while it is still a little cool in the mornings, I wear one of them as it is. Once the season progresses and it starts to get Mississippi hot, I take the other pair, cut off half of each finger and snip V-shaped vents in the back of the hands.  They last several seasons until they camo has completely faded.

I have been using those manzella (sp?) Gloves for about 10 years now.  They have held up well and do not get too hot.  Though listed as camo, the pattern is very hard to tell.  The birds don't seem to care though.  I like them because they are form fitting.

I liked the Primos gloves. Now I have 1 I can find plus a single mesh glove. Needless to say I need new hot weather gloves

I was wondering if anyone was using paint.  It gets dang hot here, sometimes any glove is too much.  I guide on a place, may be easier to paint the hunters up than to keep extra gloves around.  Thanks

Just cheap, simple mesh gloves or jersey gloves.  Things get lost and wet chasing gobblers in the dew, rain, and creek banks.  I also don't like using expensive gloves if I'm crawling around thorn bushes or locust trees.  Keep 2 pair in your vest for backups.  If you need to cut the finger tips off to help with feel then you won't feel guilty about it either.

I wear the same gloves from the chilly beginning of our season to the (often) warm, muggy end. I prefer plain old jersey gloves with all the fingers removed. Camo or brown, doesn't matter.

I'm with PaLongspur. Plain old jersey gloves with all the fingers removed.
Also have and use the dot grip gloves but I prefer to do removed all the fingers.
