Rolling the dice on late or early season expeditions (or fishing right through winter) frequently means fewer people and more fish. It can also mean frozen fingers. With our toasty R1® Gloves, your hands stay warm and nimble even in freezing rain, icy wind and cold water. The thin, flexible 1.5mm smooth-skin neoprene outer stops wind and shrugs off moisture, while the combination nylon/polypropylene/spandex insulation locks in warmth. A 3-panel, stitched and glued construction with anatomically placed seams provides remarkable formfitting comfort, water-resistance and dexterity.

Here is my take. These gloves are the first glove I have worn that I can actually feel the fly line while fishing. They are water proof and extremely warm. The only downside to these gloves is they are not tough enough for rowing and pulling on anchor ropes all day. These gloves are fragile. and should be used with care to get a long life from the glove. If used while only fishing I think you will find these gloves to last a long time. When I first saw these gloves my initial thought was duck hunting, but after using them chasing steelhead on the Salmon river I am convinced these are great fishing gloves as well.
