When the weather turns cold there may be no more important piece of fishing gear than your fishing gloves. In this article I will review 2 of the best styles of gloves for fishing in cool to cold weather. I use them both and both styles of gloves a great for different fishing scenarios. Depending on your favorite style of fishing one of these gloves are probably perfect for you, or if you're like me both styles of gloves need to have a place in your fishing arsenal.

If you've ever had the pleasure of being on the water and having your hands feel like a pair of popsicles attached to your arms you know exactly what I'm referring to. I most certainly have, and I can tell you having freezing cold hands will stop a fishing trip faster than a wife who hasn't been taken on a dinner date in three months! This is why gloves are so important when fishing in cold, or even cool, weather.

I personally keep my fishing gloves (both styles) in my fishing vest at all times, just in case they're needed. Better safe than sorry, that's what I say.

1. Neoprene Fishing Gloves - The great thing about neoprene gloves is that these gloves are 100% waterproof, which is nice for handling/releasing fish, because once your hands get wet in cold temperatures the problems begin. A good thickness for the neoprene in this style of fishing glove is 2mm. There will then be some sort of waterproof coating around the neoprene, making these gloves very warm and waterproof. Any angler who fishes in really cold temperatures, like steelhead and ice fishermen, need to have a pair of neoprene fishing gloves at their disposal.
2. Fleece Fingerless Fishing Gloves - These gloves are great because they are so comfortable. The downside of fingerless fishing gloves is that your fingers can still become quite cold in extreme temperatures. It's a great idea to wear these fishing gloves when the temperatures aren't frigid or as glove liners when the temperatures are. I wear my fleece fingerless gloves in the spring and fall and in the winter under my neoprene gloves. This type of glove makes a great fishing glove, especially when finger dexterity is needed.

The bottom line is that these two styles of gloves are the best styles for fishing and any serious angler should employ at least one of them. Having your hands comfortable when you're on the water is of the utmost importance when the temperatures start to drop.
