Types of mittens

Fishing gloves

Anglers tend to prefer gloves because they are comfortable to fish in. They do not constrain the movements of the fingers, since in the cold it is necessary to carry out actions of a different nature. Of course, you can’t fix the hook on the fishing line with gloves, but other operations are best done with gloves on.

It is very important that the fingers act independently and, at the same time, be protected from low temperatures. Gloves can be different: with a solid finger, with delayed valves located at the fingertips, as well as heated gloves. Such types of gloves, especially those with flaps, are very convenient and practical, since you do not need to take off your gloves every time you need to do something.

Despite some inconvenience, they perfectly protect from the cold and, in this case, are much better than gloves. Almost all manufacturers insulate the inside of mittens with heat-saving materials, both artificial and natural.

Outside, mittens are sheathed with water-repellent materials. This is very important because the angler is constantly in contact with the water while fishing. The presence of water enhances the feeling of cold and very significantly. For sewing mittens, they use such widespread materials as polyester, velor and leather.

3. The product must certainly be examined by touch to make sure that it is suitable in quality, depending on the conditions of wear.

5. All seams of the product are also checked for quality: no threads should stick out of them, and the seams themselves should be even and neat.
6. If there is a shoulder braid, then you should check the place where the braid is sewn to the mittens. In addition, the process of measuring the length of the braid will not be superfluous. The most important thing is that it should not be short.

We warm fishing mittens with our own hands

As a rule, when buying this or that thing in a store, each person is faced with a situation where the product does not meet the necessary requirements. It seems to be normal when buying, but wearing them once or twice, there is a feeling of discomfort and dissatisfaction. Therefore, each angler resorts to additional warming of mittens, armed with ingenuity.

For additional insulation, you can use an old fur coat with faux fur. Using a wide sleeve, you can build a kind of clutch that allows you to close the possibility of cold air getting into the mittens. This is especially true when the angler is just sitting, waiting for a bite.
