Hi all,
I have had a touch of Raynaud's all my life, which means when it gets below about 45*F, blood supply gets restricted to my extremities and my fingers go completely numb.
I've recently relocated to the Northeast, my original stomping grounds as a youth. I haven't had to face hunting in really cold weather in some time, but now I'm back and having to deal with the climate while out in the woods.
The major problem is hunting with gloves that actually allow me to feel the trigger. This is most critical during muzzleloader season, where the hair-trigger is too easily touched off by a bulkily-gloved finger entering the trigger guard on my flintlock.
My former MO was to wear a pair of very lightweight gloves, then another pair of heavier wool mitten/fingerless glove combinations over them.
My question - can anyone please recommend a light, thin, WARM, preferably windproof glove to wear as a base layer? Silk liner gloves don't really cut the mustard, and the fleece options I've tried are too bulky.
Yes, I use handwarmers, but we all know having the trigger finger ready to rock is key on a pushed deer, as is often the case in late season hunts.
Thanks for any recommendations!
