Why can't I just use my Ski gloves?
Ski gloves are both waterproof and insulative! That’s great, but they’re also super bulky and not really great for doing anything other than taking bindings on and off at most. For hunting, and work gloves, you’ll want something much slimmer and with not so much insulative material surrounding your fingers.
Do I really need gloves for hunting?
You can go every step of the way in hunting without gloves, or a lot of other gear that we often suggest. However, we live in the 21st century and this gear is really here to make your life better. Hunting gloves can protect your hands from becoming cold and wet which can lead to stiffness in the field which isn’t good. Hunting gloves are also a good way to protect your hands from scrapes, bumps, bruises and bodily fluids from slain animals.
What is GORE-TEX and why is it on so many hunting glove options?
Gore-Tex is a waterproof, breathable fabric membrane and registered trademark of W. L. Gore & Associates. Invented in 1969, Gore-Tex can repel liquid water while allowing water vapor to pass through and is designed to be a lightweight, waterproof fabric for all-weather use. You may get 100% protection with a standard vinyl waterproof, but with GORE-TEX you get something that is much more geared towards practicality and an active lifestyle.
