Best Fishing Gloves of 2026

"I've always struggled to find gloves that fit just right, but these are perfect for my hands. The grip is excellent and the fold-back fingertips are super handy for using my phone or camera. I now keep them on even in cold weather, so my hands stay warm while fishing. Highly recommend for anglers or even for driving—they'd make a great gift too!"

"I really like that these gloves are lightweight and stretchy, and the fold-back finger tips are great for tying hooks and lures. The sizing runs a bit larger than other gloves I’ve tried, but overall they’re comfortable with a nice grip. Perfect for cool days outdoors!"

"For the price, these gloves are a great value and look sharp. They fit well and the graphics are cool. They work fine for fishing above freezing temps, but I noticed they don’t keep my fingers as warm as I’d like when it’s below 40 degrees. Still, for a budget option, they meet my expectations for recreational use."

"I was looking for waterproof gloves for fishing and hunting in cold weather, and these really hit the mark. They fit true to size, and the camo pattern looks fantastic. Warmth and waterproofing are both impressive, and the gloves feel durable so far. Although they're a little stiff initially, I still get the dexterity I need. The grip could be stronger on slick surfaces, but for my uses that's not a dealbreaker. These gloves are a solid addition to my cold weather gear."

"I tested these gloves by running water over them and even dunking them in ice holes at frigid temperatures, and my hands stayed completely dry and warm. Finger movement is flexible enough for baiting hooks and handling gear. The insulation works well down to about 15-20°F, but in even colder conditions, I find myself needing extra warmth. Fit is good, though a bit roomy in the fingers for small hands. Overall, these gloves are a smart buy for ice fishing, and I plan to keep using them, maybe with larger mittens on top for the coldest days."

"These IceRiver Fishing Gloves are very warm, comfortable, and fit my hands perfectly. The snug fit makes them easy to put on and take off, and I like how the grip is only where it's needed. The fleece lining is cozy, and the waterproof layer truly keeps out both water and wind. Great quality and durability—they’re just what I was hoping for in winter fishing gloves."

"I really appreciate the magnetic convertible flaps on these mittens—it’s so easy to expose my fingers or thumb when I need to tie knots or handle gear. The fit was perfect following the size guide, and the grippy palm gives me confidence while fishing. They’re also comfortable and keep my hands warm during cold weather."

"For ice fishing, these gloves are hard to beat. The Thinsulate insulation and fleece lining genuinely deliver warmth even in sub-zero winds, and the waterproof exterior keeps my hands protected from snow and slush. Magnetic stays make it easy to use my fingers for tying knots without taking the gloves off. Great balance of dexterity and protection."

"I love the practical design with the mitten and thumb flaps—the magnets work much better than velcro. The gloves are warm and roomy enough to fit a liner underneath. My only minor complaint is the color options, but the functionality is excellent overall."

"These gloves have excellent thickness on the palm and the elastic wrist keeps them secure. I bought them not just for fishing, but also for tackling blackberry bushes and Hawthorne branches—they hold up well. The fit is a bit loose since I have skinny hands, but overall these are very versatile gloves."

"For me, these gloves make removing fish from hooks much safer and I don't have to worry about hooking myself. They're lightweight, breathable, and offer great grip, making them one of my best fishing gear purchases."

"I purchased these for my son, who is autistic and has trouble with certain textures. The gloves are true to size and really help him confidently hold fish and remove hooks. They've made fishing together much easier."

"As someone who prefers classic wool over trendy fabrics, I found these gloves to be both functional and warm. The dexterity is impressive, making them my go-to choice for kayak fishing. On really cold days, I just add a small heat pack at the finger cut-offs, and even then my fingers can withstand the cold."

"These gloves are my favorite for fly fishing during Pennsylvania winters. The fingerless design on the thumb, index, and middle fingers makes changing flies a breeze, while the full coverage on my ring and pinky keeps those colder digits comfortable. The waterproof materials and grip are perfect for handling rods and lines."

"I actually use these for hunting rather than fishing, and they have been very warm and durable—not that flimsy wool you see elsewhere. I can handle decoys, weights, and shells without needing to take the gloves off, which is a huge plus when reloading quickly."

"I've bought multiple pairs of these gloves because they fit great, aren’t bulky, and keep my hands warm even in cold conditions. They’re comfortable enough for all-day use and are a must-have for any cold weather angler."

"I use these gloves for ice fishing, and they’ve always kept my hands warm—even after getting wet. The stitching is solid and the wool is soft. The only minor downside is the palm feels a bit bulky, but overall, I’d say they’re worth the price."

"These gloves are my go-to for fishing trips. They’re thick, warm, and have great grip on the synthetic palms. If your fingers are a bit larger, I recommend getting a bigger size, but you really can’t go wrong with these."

"I found the sizing chart to be spot-on—my palm measures 8-13/16 inches, and the Large fits comfortably snug without being tight or loose. The Merino wool keeps my hands warm even though the gloves feel thin, and the Black Gray color adds a touch of class. After trying a larger size, the cuff was more comfortable, while the palm and fingers sizing stayed almost the same."

"These gloves were a perfect gift for someone recovering from wrist surgery and dealing with cold weather pain. They've provided the necessary warmth and comfort, and the look and feel are excellent. I would absolutely recommend them to friends."

"I bought these for my husband who suffers from Raynaud's disease, and he says they're super cozy, warm, and soft—not too thick, just right. He wore them hunting in the fall and his fingers stayed warm and usable for hours. Highly recommend, especially for lovers of natural fibers!"

"I bought a pair for my grandson, who’s into winter sports. They fit perfectly, covering his fingers enough for warmth but leaving the tips free for things like using his phone or adjusting boots. Exceptional material quality and a very reasonable price."

"I was surprised that even when these gloves got wet, they still kept my hands warm—I didn’t even notice until I took them off. They stretch a bit with use but come back to shape after washing. The little wrist loop is really handy for clipping them to my backpack."

"I purchased these mittens for my husband and he decided to keep both pairs I ordered. He loves how warm, heavy, and soft they are inside, and especially appreciates the flap that lets his fingers move freely. The fit was perfect, they seem waterproof, and for the price, they’re a fantastic value."

"Wearing these gloves in 24°F with strong winds, my hands and fingers stayed very warm. I went with a size down for a snug fit and they’re just right. The magnets are durable, the gloves stay dry in snow and rain, and I love the easy finger and thumb access. There’s even room for hand warmers. Highly recommend for cold weather and hunting!"

"I've switched from gloves to mittens, and these are truly next level. Even during long winter walks, my hands got so warm I had to unzip the tops. The zipper and foldable thumb features work great, and the magnets hold well. I have wide palms and these fit comfortably. Definitely recommend these mittens for anyone with cold hands!"

"I've found these gloves to be exceptionally comfortable and lightweight, offering a snug fit and excellent grip whether I'm fishing or just running errands. The touchscreen feature is handy, though I wish the fingertip coverage was a bit more extensive. Overall, they're a great value and perfect for everyday use."

"As someone who’s hard on gloves, I appreciate how breathable and warm these are for work. The touchscreen function works most of the time, but occasionally I need to dampen the fingertips for better response. I do wish they had a bit more grip, but they still keep my hands warm and functional."

"I was looking for a thin, warm glove for outdoor sports and these fit the bill. The material feels durable, and I love that the seams are low-profile and comfortable. They work well with my phone, and the price is reasonable. I’d recommend them to anyone seeking versatile, well-fitting gloves."
