Hooded fingertips on the digits you actually need to use - thumb and forefinger. Well photographed controlling an iPod (how’s that for product association). Assuming they keep you warm the rest of the time, those are some well designed gloves for today’s world. [Hat tip: CXC]

That’s sad that you know that ;)

I’ve heard this type of glove, very popular in NY, referred to as the “smoker’s glove.”

And it was only yesterday I was talking about gloves on here…

Those are hunting gloves, they’ve been around a LONG time. Free’s up the trigger finger and thumb to cock the gun.

You can find other colors (like camouflage) at you local hunting outfitters.

“You can find other colors (like camouflage) at you local hunting outfitters.”

I think a point here is that the gloves are functional and also *look* nice, because I highly doubt there are a lot of women running to their nearest hunting store for a pair of gloves. (Unless they’ve got some camouflage sweater they’re trying to match with…which is wrong. And gross.)

Yep, hooded fingertips aren’t new. I’ve had gloves like these for atleast 5 years, and i’m sure they were around before that.

I went looking for those very gloves. But i couldn’t find them!

Thank you very much, I’m here all week…… :-D

They are old school. The new hunting gloves are made with thinner materials so that you do not need to “fold over” the top.

They also make a Mitten that the entire top folds over, exposing the fingers.
