I like the seal skins for if its raining. Teamed up with wool socks and some beater shoes. I dont fish in the extreme cold(California). I am also a fan of Wool gloves. Just basic cheap gloves, with finger tips removed.Good luck!

Wool or fleece mitten gloves that you can flip down so you can use your fingers. Stuff handwarmers in your pockets and boots. All standard issue here in Montana.

I have chased and chased this as no amount of weather wind rain or temp keeps me from going. If the ramp isnt iced in Im in.In the end what you need is this-#1 gotta keep hands and wrists dry #2 gotta be able to get hands warm within 10 seconds when they get cold.#3 gotta still be able to use your fingers when you need them.#4 gotta still be able to feel.What I do is use wool gloves- buy a bunch and keep them dry.Cut first finger tip and thumb tip out.Buy about 3-4 old school zippo hand warmers.Carry rosinol in boat with windproof lighters.Light 2, put them in passenger console with gloves. Dont use that silly bag they give you- you want the Zippos so hot you almost cant touch them.Change gloves often, put your fingers on the bare metal of the zippo at times.Best I have found.Any glove that is tight blocks bloodflow to fingers and will make you coldC.O.D.

Thin gloves, 18 hour hand warmers, and Smart Wool socks. I have bowhunted at 25 below and I am good at those temps. It has worked for me on the water too but never been there in below zero temps.Dan

I use the under amour glove liners and put wool mittens over them with the fingers cut out of the mittens. Feet you need to also have good pair wicking socks with a good wool sock over them. I like the BPS wool socks. I use this set up for cold weather fishing and also sitting on a deer stand.

I use the Toe Warmers (like the hand warmers but made for toes)They have a sticky back and I stick them to the palm of my hands. They are same size as my palms. They get very hot but burn out faster than hand warmers so I have a couple pairs if its cold all day.

I have some wigwam wool socks that are the best. Wear just them and a good pair of shoes.13 PIV w/ 200 MercIG: WarriorRiverCustomRods

Marino wool socks year round. Theyre expensive and they work. Smart Wool is my favorite. I like quality leather golf gloves for the hands. They shear the wind while driving and I can cast, pitch and flip like normal. If you need a bit extra- put hand warmers on the back of the hand under the glove. Wont get in the way and itll keep the hands from freezing up.

Money talks for your feet…get the best boots you can affort…..as for my hands I have found the micro fleece winter golf gloves combined with hand warmers on the back of your hands are great. The golf gloves have excellent feel and dexterity…keep your head and neck covered…Elwood…..Bass Cat Proud
