I’m with Coral Maestro, fingerless gloves. However, I’ve found that I prefer the Merino wool or silk type that bikers use under their gauntlets are the best compromise for warmth, dexterity and convenience.

On a recent trip to the River Eden in Cumbria I had a reason to don my gloves as the combination of a keen wind and wet hands soon had them suffering. I haven't had cause to wear gloves for a few years so had forgotten the make that I use. Here they are:Image

They aren't perfect but keep out the worst of the cold and are thin enough to maintain some dexterity. Another bonus is that I don't seem to hook them as often as wool gloves.

I recommend Simms wind stoppers, I have had my current pair for over 15 years, they were purchased when I was steelhead fishing in Oregon. they have been in the washing machine on numerous occasions and they are still as good as new

At £65 a pair I would expect them to last at least 15 years!

Another vote for the Aldi (Crane) neoprene gloves. :Thumb:

Olive green or camo and both available in fingerless gloves or full gloves where the thumb and forefinger tips can be folded back, held with velcro. Warm and comfortable.

£5.99 a pair or thereabouts.

I've had both for several years and still going strong. Amazing value for money!
