Default Glove Recommendations

I'm looking for a thin, waterproof pair of gloves that I can wear while fishing in late fall and while fishing in the shack. I have lots of thick pairs for setting up while ice fishing, but I want something waterproof and thin enough that the gloves don't get in the way of my reels.

Any recommendations are appreciated!

Maybe just try the thin nitrile type gloves that doctors wear?

Not enough insulation. I want something that keeps my hands warm in *chilly* temperatures (think of a late fall evening, inside an ice shack). Thank you for the recommendation

How about something like 3mm neoprene glove? They are for kayaking/canoeing/whitewater/biking.

I have a pair of these and love them. They are thin enough to still have pretty good dexterity and be comfortable, and they are 100% waterproof. You can put your hands right in the water on a release or in the Live well and be totally dry.

I got Mustang Five Finger gloves from The Fishin' Hole. They're a tight fit and definitely offer you some warmth. I was fly fishing in the Bow with them and stripping line, didn't seem to be an issue.

I like the looks of these. Unfortunately they only seem to have XS and 2XL in their waterproof gloves though. Hopefully they get more stock soon.

That's what I'm looking for! I don't want anything bulky, as it really isn't cold enough to warrant something heavy, and with bulkiness comes reduced dexterity. Too bad they're out of sizes.
