Why We Made This
Waterfowlers need gear that can pull double duty. Our design on the Gradient Glove was all about versatility. A lightweight liner glove that provides warmth, holds its own brushing blinds and is dexterous enough for shotgun operations. Work it, shoot it, high-5 it.

Wore these out in Skagit Valley (WA state) for duck hunting this past week. Not super warm (I should've read the information on weather conditions for wearing these more carefully) but the mobility is fantastic. I was able to keep my hands in the gloves throughout the day instead of having to remove them constantly for reloading, changing chokes, etc.
I've never been one to hunt with gloves on but these gloves are great. The snug fit makes it a little tight getting on and off but once they are on they fit perfectly. Just thick enough to keep the chill off but thin enough to still shoot and call.
Great gloves. Can be worn alone in moderate temps or can also serve as a liner under heavier/bulkier gloves. Worn alone they are thin enough to allow you to still use duck/goose calls. I wasn't sure how well they would hold up while setting decoys and moving around layout blinds in fields, but so far they are doing well for the harsh treatment I have given them. Easy on/off wrist cuffs makes them versatile for various temperature ranges and applications.
The perfect glove for mid season and I can wear inside a mitten when it's very cold out.
I purchased the XL. They fit perfectly for me but may be tight for larger, thicker fingers. Very comfortable and warm in 30-40 degree temps. I really like these gloves and can recommend them. Reasonably priced for the quality, warmth and fit they provide.
Very comfortable in size XL. I believe they'd be a little tight for larger hands. They have a rubber grip on them. I wore them in 27-35 degree weather and they were very comfortable with no extra bulk or loose material. Highly recommend!

Following the Call: Honoring a Waterfowl Tradition
My love of the history and tradition of the American duck call goes way back. I was eight years old when my parents handed me an old shoe box of calls that had once belonged to my grandfather and his brother. The calls fascinated me, and it wasn’t long before I started my own vintage collection and began attending duck calling competitions. Eventually, I was spending what would become invaluable time with Butch Richenback at his Rich-N-Tone Duck Call shop here in Stuttgart, Arkansas, learning everything he had to teach me.

As a water fowl guide in idaho, these gloves saved me this year. I hate big bulky gloves, even at temps into the single digits these did the trick. Granted you won’t sweat but to keep the sting off and still stay warm while being able to load, shoot and or call without bare handing it, look it no further! These suckers dry fast too!!! Go SITKA or stay home!!!
Looking for a next to skin type glove that you can wear on your shooting hand and actually provides warmth? Look no further, the gradient glove covers most of your bases during early season hunts to mid-late season mild weather days. While most gloves make it difficult to use your hands fine motor skills, you will hardly notice any hindrance at all; you can easily type on the keyboard on your iPhone while wearing these. Another great product from Sitka Staff, good job!
