Has anyone seen a supplier offering a full lineup of these gloves? They are readily available in L(9) and XL (10) - this is great and wasn't the case a few years ago. I was hoping for a pair for Gus and Jen, in smaller. I have looked a couple times over the past few years and have not found anything online (but there are a lot of folks selling them and a lot of clutter of "discontinued" and "out of stock"), which makes it tough to sift through.

A suggestion of another sturdy waterproof mitten with removable liner would be great too in kid/child sizes.

Do you have a photo of the glove you are looking for? Do you have any marine supply places near you that you could look? We have one here in Gloucester that I frequent often. They have some gear for fishermen, and I'm happy to take a look. A photo of what you're looking for would help.

Tod,

I don't have any leads on mittens with removable liners. If you can live without the removable feature, the icefishing mittens made by Clam and Frabill are really warm. It doesn't really matter anyway, since you'll forget them at home.
 
Thanks Nate, these are ice fishing mittens - dont think they would have them at a commercial fishing supply. I will say that the availability of atlas gloves on eBay and Amazon is impressive these days. I was looking for commercial fishing mittens like an atlas 495 glove, but a mitten, but I can't find one. There are come nice bondage style on eBay, but they didn't look very warm.

Harsh! :)

I'll look at them - thanks. This is mostly for Gus who last time we were in the arctic on a float trip wet something like five pairs of mittens/ gloves. Granted he is older now (6 vs 11) , but this time I'll be expecting him to actually work some and something with liners would be key for drying out if he did get wet. He has some neoprene gloves, but they aren't that warm.

Do you need these to set up your Mojo spinner on cold days?

I have 2 pairs of jokatherms already and I'd use a finger cot to flick the thingy underneath the tail on a mojo.
 
This isn't exactly what you're looking for but I'll chime in and maybe you, or someone else, will find some value in it. For years now when duck hunting I've been using cheap PVC dipped work gloves over military surplus wool liner gloves. I'll use these when hunting in temps into the teens but I suppose that's an individual matter of cold tolerance. The wool liners generally provide plenty of warmth, the PVC gloves are completely impervious to wind and water, they are very flexible for working with decoys, and they are cheap!

The PVC gloves can be found at Lowes, Home Depot, Tractor Supply, etc., with their work gloves usually and look like this: https://www.fullsource.com/memphis-gloves-6300/ (note: price is per dozen)

Everyone is familiar with the military wool liners which can be found at any Army/Navy store: https://www.ebay.com/i/381796600675?chn=ps&dispItem=1

I hope this helps.

Ditto, except I use cheap fleece gloves from Walmart or the Dollar Store under rubber "lobstering" gloves from Hamilton Marine, and only use this combo for setting decoys, pulling anchors, or other "wet work". When sitting in the blind or boat, I switch to a pair of heavier wool or fleece gloves (Goretex-lined on snotty days) so I can feel the safety and trigger.

Tod, this might be a good souce--they have hundreds of different gloves to choose from: https://shop.hamiltonmarine.com/


I also use heavy neoprene gloves for paddling, and find that although I get a little water inside them, they keep me plenty warm down into the low 20's. Not a good option to wear all day as you get "pruny" hands, but fine for the 20 minutes or so from shore to my hunting spot. If someone ever finds a truly water proof pair of neoprene gloves, please let me know the source! I'll buy a lifetime supply. Neoprene does get beat up fast, and pretty expensive.

HAve used the atlas 495 (blue lobstering gloves) for years for duck hunting and clamming - I have several pairs with lots of extra liners. Would love to find mittens in the same material, but they aren't made.
 
Do a search for Nokia gloves/mittens, they may be called" Eskimo" now. I've never seen them in kid sizes, but these are the black gloves with a grit type surface. They come with fleece liners but I use the Military wool inserts. Last time I checked there was a work wear supplier that sold them online but the CRS keeps me from remembering the site.
