Hi All, What looks like a super thin, fingerless glove, has been found by Steve Parkes from Atomsix.

These are from Betterware and retail at £9.99. Other detail is scarse, but these could add a level of insulation on a cold day, without adding bulk.

If anyone has tried these or has other info, then let me know please.

Best Regards

Stuart

Thermal Gloves

Not to take anything away from your post but, going by the picture, the gloves look a bit tight especially around the thumb which would decrease blood flow and make the fingers feel cold.

I prefer these from Damart.

Damart - Fingerless Gloves

I used them for twenty years as a postman and found them ideal and in the very cold they go under a pair of heavier gloves nicely

Do those Damart gloves not feel uncomfortable when they get wet? They look like they'd hold water. The Betterware ones look like they're made of a thick latex-like material which might be better for repelling water. I really suffer with arthritis in my right hand in the cold so I'm really interested to find a decent fingerless, waterproof glove

You wont get a waterproof fingerless glove, the water goes down the fingers and into the glove

I have worn them in everything the Scottish weather can throw at you for the last thirty years both at work and fishing. They do get wet and I have physically squeezed my hand and the water has run out of the glove like a sponge but my hands were still warm. To keep them warm though you have to keep moving so that the blood is getting pumped into the finger tips. Curling your fingers into a ball and extending them repeatedly for a few minutes is generally enough or go for a short stroll along the bank.

I have arthritis in most of my joints I take Ipobrufin which is the only thing that helps

Ha ha ha.. I realised as soon as I'd posted that how daft it sounded!
I know the water will get down the open finger holes, what I actually meant was did the main part of the glove soak up and hold water, a bit like my neoprene gloves do, and if so, did your hands stay warm - and you've answered that... cheers,
Steve

I tried neoprene gloves once and my hands were colder than the would have been without them, or so it seemed. The neoprene doesn't seem breath and release the moisture, with the Damart gloves they dry very quickly once the water was out of them and even quicker from the heat of the hands inside them. Everyone is different of course and you might find them of no use in your circumstances, a case of suck it and see I'm afraid

I just had a thought Have you tried the cycling shops for fingerless cycle gloves?

When the weather is cold or there's a biting wind I wear a pair of thin wool fingerless gloves. The palms have tiny little rubber micro dots to aid grip. Although not waterproof the hold very little water even after submerging my hands in the water for releasing fish. The heat from my hands and a slight breeze dry them out again in minutes. Although there is a slight drawback as they cost a whole £1 a pair from the pound shop. Subsequently I have about ten pairs now...

I have wool gloves where you can fold back the finger part and fasten it to the back of the hand leaving the fingers free. I've worn this style of glove for thirty years and fished most winters.
