Gloves

Ok still with the clothing theme here. B)

Any advice on a good pair of gloves for fishing?

Gloves to keep me warm and dry but not too thick. :D

Maybe asking for all three is asking too much for gloves.

 

Also is it best to wear gloves over the cag seal or under for a better seal?

I assume over would be better over but would like to hear your ideas on this.

 

Many thanks

I use fishing neoprene gloves

Lat/Long :- N50°58.366 W001°26.468

 

I must go down to the sea again

To the lonely sea and sky

I left my shoes and socks there

I wonder if they're dry?

I have those and they are great for shore fishing but not so good on a kayak.

Too thick and water gets in the slits.

 

So are you saying the flexor gloves have lasted you 2 years maidstonemike?

 

 

Can you tell me?

 

I don't know if I am thinking about this in the right way or not but. Neoprene is what wet suits are made from, and therefore your hands would be wet all of the time. I do understand that for neoprene to work it has to be wet. So your hand would be like shrunken proons after a fishing session, am I right or wrong?

Absolutely Right! when I paddled round the I.O.W. last year,I used neoprene paddling gloves(proper paddling gloves not fishing ones!) to start as I found it helped with my arthritis,after around half the journey one of my hands did end up like a shrunken prune and it became painful/impossible to continue to wear the glove on that hand as the skin was really sore.

 

Now if I wear gloves it is my woolly lined waterproof ones in winter
