Are these gloves watertight? Will your hand get wet if you had to dip your fingers/palm in the water to grab a fish when ice fishing?

I have not tried that directly but I have used them in wet snow for work and my hands stayed dry. Be aware that the cuff is rather short so you cannot dip your hand in very deep.

I have only used them in snow, but I believe they are watertight. The rubbery outer covering seems to completely cover the glove.

They are when new, but if you use them as work gloves, they won't be for long.

I wouldn't. You might turn them inside out and wash by hand. Blot well with a towel and air dry. Mine got wet on the inside. Fortunately, they're stiffer than the lighter weight grocery store gloves. I stuck mine on a narrow, cottony covered bottle cleaner up the middle finger and it dried out nicely because that held the glove open. You could also use the handles of wooden spoons.

No, they are a knit material and water will penetrate. You shouldn't have wet hands, either.

No. They are a flexible cloth like material with a silicone grip pattern on the palms. They are great, highly reccomend. If you need waterproof ones maybe try those silocone ones? I have some starfrit ones. They aren't very flexible though which makes them tough to use.

No they are not water tight. You want to get yourself some Muck boots for that my friend.

No..i believe it would freeze..it needs to get wet to stretch so it would hold a knott...by that alone if water enters it it would freeze..they do sell line for ice fishing tho..

I use them for fishing in the winter. I don't have much rope to pull on because I am trolling and my hands are rough to begin with. They would work if you have to pull on rope. Fast moving rope may burn through the glove, they are thin. The glove comes to the first knuckle.

I found them cumbersome. We all bought a pair for a wilderness kayak trip in Alaska last year and the fit for me was ok. The fingers were too long so I had no dexterity at all. Couldn't size down or would have been too tight! Grip is good but if you are fly fishing, no way could you attach a fly or leader.... they did however keep my hands warm like a wet suit would.. if your hands sweat you would want to wear a liner. Hope this helps.

I bought these gloves as a gift & my friend loves them. I don't know anything about the gloves being waterproof or not.

Their strongest selling point is not their warmth but their waterproofing. I work in the TV/Film business and it's true that on a below freezing day when I'm handling aluminum pipe they get cold pretty quickly, but when it's snowing/raining they can keep my hands dry for hours. So if cold is the only problem then these aren't the gloves for you but if you have to work in the wet, they are great and really do still give a decent grip even on wet slippery surfaces.

They're absolutely not good for anything below +10F. Your fingers will freeze in a hurry, and that's even if you're wearing an inner glove liner.

Absolutely! That's what I bought them for. Our dishwasher likes them because they don't let the water seep down into the gloves. They go all the way up to his shoulders. They are big on me because I have small hands and they are a bit big on him too. But they are textured and grip really well so the fragile things don't slip out of his hands. I now have 4 pair of these. Love them.

Hi, fellow member of the "Leonard" club. The glove is not waterproof and I believe, but don't know for sure, that the glove would float for a while, from air temporarily trapped in the glove. Don't forget that right handed folks wear the glove on the left hand. Good luck, Leonard Kay

The gloves are like wearing a rubber sauna and if it's anything strenuous your hands will be sweating inside and then become cold. You can grip a rod easy enough, but you won't be tying on hooks or small bait. I find these gloves useless for practical purposes. Wore them a couple times while jogging and my hands were soaked on the inside when I was done, might as well not wear any. After the 2nd time they've been collecting dust on my shelf. If you're going to sit and fish and not move much and it's not super cold outside these gloves would be alright.

My gloves are totally waterproof. However if you get the fleece liner wet inside the gloves you need to turn them inside out to dry them.

I've had great luck with this glove, even on catfish. I can get a good grip on them holding them around their body. I use a suture to remove the hook(s). If you are right handed you want a glove for your left hand (and vise-verse). That way I can use my right hand to remove the hook. I have both aboard to accommodate my left handed friends. It's the best glove.Len Kay

These aren't water proof on top...just on the bottom. If you get the colored part wet, it seeps over the whole glove. I like these because they are breathable and my hands don't get sweaty when cutting wood or working in my garden.
