Battery Powered Heated Gloves

Cold fingers

I live in Alaska, so it is always cold in winter, I always keep two or more pairs of those little stretchy knit gloves in my bag, and wear another pair under my regular gloves. Stretchy gloves generally cost about $1 a pair so if I lose one it's not too bad.

Cold fingeres

Glove liners are thin and allow ease of handling your equipment. Hunters gloves have a removable finger tip section. Sometimes I use one, the other or both.
