Question for all.
Looking for a new pair of shooting gloves. I want a pair that is barely thick enough to keep my paws from getting frostbite.
I have use golf gloves for years. I pick up the cheepo's at the flees market. They are a little thicker than latex and will last for a month or so with twice weekly pistol range work. No thermal protection, but will work indoors or at the range shack.

The next step up are 3/4 finger sailing/rigging gloves. Good thick palms with stretchy back and velcro wrist strap.

I have not tried them but I see people using the mechanic type grear head gloves. They look similar to the sailing but thinner..

Caveat: In Florida I wear them for GRIP texture with all our heat and sweat. WE DON'T DO COLD...

My $00.0002..
