For 66 years i have fought the problem of cold / frozen fingers and hand and feet . Having the body temp of a SNAKE makes it even worse . The best boots i have are my boots i wear hunting and are good for me at temps above 25 degrees for around four and if lucky five hours . Now hands Nothing and i mean nothing will keep them comorfable for more then and hour or so . Youngest daughter's new guy friend who i sorta like and took him Deer hunting with the group this year bought me a new pair of gloves thinking that they would do the job , sorry to say NOPE they are like wearing air conditioning . while deer hunting on the last day of our gun season since he is a young buck we let hi do the driving , since he is not up on how our deer act around here he was moving to fast and darn near stepped on a nice buck and spooked it out and he was not ready , well i am getting old and i was not watching in his direction and here come this would be nice buck if it would have had both antlers , well here we go by if it is BROWN it is down . Being late in the day with vary cold hands and at long range it took me three shots to drop him . I am the one of the group that is really good at the long range shots and it took me three not one but three i am still upset over that . My fingers were vary cold and stiff and i had on the best i had for gloves . Feet were good fingers NOPE . Does anybody make a glove today in 2018 with all the modern tech that is flexable , not to bulky , and WARM anywhere in this country . Now with the temps hovering in the 0 range on the nightly walk with my dog after fifteen min. i could use my fingers to stur my Crown Royal and make it ice cold by the time we get back in . Cold fingers make for poor trigger control and makes for a really mad wife placing fingers in warm location .
