SITKA GearSitka Men's Fanatic Whitetail Optifade Elevated II Camo Hunting Gloves

While these gloves are for hunting, I use them for photography - these gloves do exactly what i was i hoping for - leaving two critical fingers exposed to handle the camera. I would use these in most typical weather situations but probably not in temps below freezing

These gloves are great, just like all of the Sitka gear that I have. I noticed that they are quite tight to get on, but once you pass them over your palms, the fit great. It's true that they are quite thin, so they won't keep your hands toasty warm on late-season sits, but they are at least warm for their weight. I like having my index fingers and thumbs exposed for using a cell phone, or for better feel on a trigger, etc. I would recommend these gloves, with the caveat that you will have to have another means of keeping your hands warm when it's very cold.

These aren’t super warm gloves, but enough to take the chill off on a brisk day. They are super comfortable, though they run a bit large (I am an XL in Under Armour gloves and a Medium in these). The only improvement I wish they would make is to only cutoff the thumb and index finger on the trigger/release hand. It would be great if you had to select left/right and one glove was normal full coverage. Still, like everything Sitka does, well worth the price and very high quality.

Gloves are so warm and the grips make it easy to function! The look good and so comfortable and it’s a great thickness

I got these gloves for whitetail archery and spring turkey hunting. They are warmer than I was expecting with their fuzzy lining, but that’s a positive. I love that only the index finger tip and thumb tip are exposed for maximum concealment, but why does Sitka have to put such a large and visible orange logo on the top of the hand?!?! I’m sure there are folks out there who have harvested tons of turkey with them, but if you hunt turkey you know that they have quite possibly the best eyesight in the animal kingdom, so why do that?!?! Anyway, the orange marking is the only negative.

My husband was having a hard time keeping his hands warm and having the ability to be immediately ready should a deer show up. I got these and a pair of Sitka bibs for him that have the built in muff, and he said it’s the perfect setup and his hands are no longer cold.

I wore these gloves for two entire seasons now, and I couldn't be happier! They are the perfect combination of having a lightweight early season glove, but still retaining the dexterity and convenience of not wearing gloves. Using a phone or other electronics, even with "touchscreen gloves", are still a pain; but not with these gloves! I wear these for the entire season, using a hand muff with some hand warmers in the late season. I like to wear lightweight gloves throughout the entire year, and these are the best of the best! I used them very roughly for two years now, and they still look basically brand new! When it comes to quality, function, and looks, you can't do any better than Sitka.

I can't speak highly enough of Sitka gear! I have their base layers, gloves, balaclava, hat, shirt, stratus jacket and stratus pants in the elevated ii pattern. The deer have so much trouble seeing me and the gear that has gore tech in it stops the cold wind from penetrating. Everything has been worth the price tag in my opinion. I love that they have tall sizes everything fits perfectly which is unusual for me since I'm tall (6' 2") and skinny.Edit: 12-15-2020... the seams on the side of the glove for my left hand split open. I contacted customer service and my interactions went smoothly they asked for some photos. After they reviewed the photos they sent me a new pair :)
