Gloves

The Gloves category brings together Simms gloves, mitts and hand protection for fishing comfortably across seasons and conditions. It includes GORE-TEX Infinium, Windstopper, Challenger Insulated, Freestone, ExStream, ProDry, SunGlove, Solarflex, wool, neoprene, half-finger, full-finger, no-finger and foldover mitt models.

A fishing glove should be chosen by temperature, wind, rain, sun exposure and the need to keep finger precision. Half-finger and no-finger models make knots, casting, lure handling and line contact easier. Foldover mitts are useful when you need to switch between warmth and dexterity.

For cold or windy conditions, Windstopper, GORE-TEX Infinium, ExStream, Challenger Insulated and wool gloves provide more protection. For summer fishing, boat use or long days in strong sun, SunGlove and Solarflex models focus more on UV protection, abrasion protection and comfort with a rod in hand.

Before choosing, check insulation, wind resistance, waterproofing or water repellency, fit, grip, finger freedom, compatibility with rod and reel, and ease of handling leaders, clips, lures or landing nets. For winter, prioritise warmth and protection; for summer, look for breathability, low weight and sun protection.
