BP,

Glad you tried the knot tying test...as you saw, there is absolutely no problem with the feel and sensitivety factor and they most definetey don't get in the way. You are also righ about keeping your hands warm even when wet. The gloves trap the heat when it is wet and you barely feel the chill.

JBuck,

I hope you hold many 40's with your gloves but even if you don't, you'll be happy you have'em on!

BernOC,

We will not be coming with a split-finger as we feel this glove will meet those needs due to tha fact that you can feel the line as you feather it. By keeping the glove whole, your hands benefit from warmth, protection and the overall strength and durability of the individual glove. I had mentioned that I cast conventional with the gloves on, I did and it was no problem once I made the slight adjustment for the glove. I think you will find the same if you give it a try.

Thanks for all the feed back and know that we will always strive to bring you, the user the best that we can. We would not put out something that we did not believe in or would not use ourselves.

I'll mention another great thing about using these gloves. The fact that you will reduce your chances of getting fish handlers' disease- that nasty bacteria stuff. I scratch and cut my hands alot unhooking bass and having gloves on will reduce that. Granted they won't stop a hook from poking me, but it's like one more precaution to take. Enough people have already lost limbs and lives, I don't want to be added to the list.

Great point Slip! Does it hurt to have them on???? Absolutely not....but it can hurt to not have them on....literally.

When you look at the price of Glacier Gloves or Kenai's, or even some of the cheap-assed neoprenes from SA or other mega-stores, these things are an absolute steal at 25 clams.

If I wanted to make a fashion statement I would have asked Kadir to make me a pair in mauvre, or chartruse, instead of black

I'm a guy who hates gloves, even for being outside in the wintertime. I think I've worn a pair twice this winter. But I can see me loving these---they're really like a second skin. If I can get the feel of thumbing conventional, I may never fish without them.
