Everyone I know has got at least one piece of gear they are looking to replace every year,worn out, fed up, doesn't fit whatever the reason seems like nearly every year something has got to go.
For me, its gloves.. I have yet to find a set of gloves that I've been even remotely satisfied in during the January permit season in jersey. Granted January in jersey is no picnic, the last few years it's been single digits or teens and fighting a breeze. The running joke in the family is what's the coldest week of the year, my hunting week if course, but true it is .... Year after year.
Perhaps I have unrealistic expectations that jamming one or two hot hands inside each glove, and protecting them from the wind will keep my fingers from a total loss of function in two hours but that's what I'm after.
I've probably got 4 sets of varying brands of "heavyweight gloves" that disappoint every january. I'm not afraid to spend money on them, I've learned long ago, in a general sense if you spend good money on sporting goods you will have then for years. But the gloves are an epic fail every year.
Granted I have trouble with gloves in a general sense being that I am apparent part Neanderthal, with my wide thick palms and stumpy fingers. But I have accepted long ago that practically every glove that fits my palm, will be long over the finger and can work around it.
Glove recommendations that I wont have to take a mortgage out on please.
