Cold Hands please help!!
I hunt in usually mid 20 to low 30 degrees weather. I have bad circulation in my hands and when i am sitting in my tree stand after an hr my hands get cold. I wear a pair of wool gloves with the removable top to shoot. I am looking for a new pair of gloves, any suggestions i want something warm and something that can keep me dry from melting snow or rain.

What works best for me is thin fleece gloves, and one of those hand muffs that go aroundmy waist, I put a couple big handwarmer packs inside and keep moving my fingers. Most of the time I'll take my gloves off, put them inside my jacket so the're warm when I put them back on, and have bare hands in the muff.When it gets really cold I'll take a couple adhesive toe warmers and stick them to the ends of my long underwear sleeves under my wrists.
No matter how good the gloves are if I'm not moving my fingers, they'll get cold.

as said, you can drop in those hand warmers in middle of muff.
i use the ones that you light,not those ones in pack.
i dont wear gloves at all in muff but its cold when you grab your gun but usually thats no problem.
i have another for your feet.
i bought those artic things you put over your boots, well, i dont put them over my boots, i take my boots off,throw in a handwarmer and stick my feet into those soft booties.
man, they stay warm in those.

A good hand muff that goes around your waist with a warmer in it.
I can sit in10 degree cold with no gloves with m y hands in thereand not get cold. However i do put on a thin pair of gloves so when i grab my gun it's not too cold.

Check these hand blankets out. I have used the same one for 20 years or more.

You can get it with or without the compartment for a hand warmer, but I've never needed one. I use that and just have some light gloves to use when stalking or climbing into a ladder stand or climbing stand.
You can find them at a Gander Mountain too.

i grabbed my gun without gloves on , my gun is wood and it was no problem to hold in cold.
