Cold Hands, Warm Casts.
There's a specific kind of miserable that comes from fishing a cold river in November with the wrong gloves — numb fingers, no feel, fumbling with tippet and flies you can barely see. The Glacier Glove Alaska River Fingerless Glove is built to fix that. Windproof soft shell fleece blocks the river breeze, a 2mm neoprene sharkskin palm keeps your grip on the rod, and the fingerless design means you never lose the dexterity you need to tie a size 20 midge in the cold.
We carry these at basin + bend because they're the glove we reach for on cold-weather fishing days — and at $17.97, serious savings off retail, they're an easy add to any order.
Why These Work for Fishing
- Windproof soft shell fleece — cuts river wind without the bulk of a full winter glove, so you can still feel the line
- 2mm neoprene sharkskin palm — textured grip that holds onto a wet cork grip or reel handle even when your hands are wet
- Fingerless design — full dexterity for tying knots, handling flies, and managing tippet without taking your gloves off
- Touchscreen compatible — check your phone, use your GPS, or snap a photo without pulling them off
- Available in S, M, L, XL — sized to fit snugly without bunching inside a wading jacket sleeve
When to Reach for These
These are the glove for shoulder-season and winter fishing — cold mornings on a tailwater, late-season streamer fishing, or any day when the air temp is low but you still need your fingers free. They're not a neoprene wading glove for full submersion, but for above-water use in cold, windy conditions, they're hard to beat. Great for kayak fishing, paddling, and photography too.

If you're shopping for a fly fisher or angler who fishes year-round, a quality pair of fingerless gloves is one of those things they always need and rarely buy for themselves. At under $20, it's a solid stocking stuffer or add-on gift.
