Yep same, cheap and more than up to the job for a season or so.

Mechanix Wear fleece lined gloves - stay warm even when wet, so no need to take two pairs with you. Best glove I've used for fishing, end of. Good dexterity too, which is important to me when I'm lure fishing on a cold, winters' day from the boat. No small wonder the army special forces use them...

I use the most ordinary gloves. I don't even remember how long they stood, but certainly not expensive.
It's that time of year again. I'll be sticking with my snowboarding gloves that have a inner glove which will do. Although wouldn't mind a thinner pair of index and thumb fingerless gloves for inside my thicker pair.

The sealskinz fold back finger (shooting) gloves are what I use, had them quite a few years now. Worth a look anyway

Neoprene Fold back when I am going to get my hands wet. Thinsulate for dossing

i just got a standard marks and spencer pair with the thinsulate logo on, i also have a whitby hand warmer which runs on lighter fuel, on the coldest of days it's in my pocket and it keeps my hands nice and warm

If you want nice warm hands on the coldest of days buy some mittens, pertex ones, better still
I got a pair of Mechanix gloves for Christmas, weatherproof and windproof too. They are the 3m insulated version, need some wearing in a they are quite stiff to start off with. Would recommend these however 👍

I have those Mechanix thermals, had them a couple of years - not that great IMO once it gets below 5 degrees. Don't keep my hands warm for long on proper cold days. Also, not fully waterproof either, more showerproof I would say. Bought them more for shooting than fishing, where, let's face it, you can put your hands in your pockets for most of the day. Mechanix have really gone down hill in recent years - used to be the best and I still have some older ones that I use for general wear when shooting (it's all about grip), not now though. For carp fishing, a decent pair of thinsulate gloves is all you need. Most are about a tenner, so I take two pairs in case any get wet through. If I am lure fishing, I need 100% waterproof, so use moutaineering gloves, with gortex outer - expensive, but good dexterity and my hands will never get cold or wet. For really cold days, I use a liner glove inside them. Neoprene - waste of time IMO. Never found it kept my hands warm, but then I do suffer from cold hands more than most...

Careful about buying expensive skiing gloves. I thought that it was a wise investment but as they are for an active sport I find them too cold for fishing - the cheap Thinsulate ones from the petrol station have been much better!
