Dunkield Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 No they aren't But they have a loyal following who will along shortly. Do a search for previous threads about them, IMO overpriced, not warm and not waterproof. I use the ones I have for stalking just so my hands are green and not pink.

moz Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 I have some. Might be OK for walking from clubhouse to stand at the clay ground. From experience they are no use at all out on a cold day game shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckytrigger Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Good spring/summer glove but no good for winter imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet boy Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 I thought about them for quite some time now but I'll stick with my Nomex Gloves which are not warm but have excellent feel quality and I mainly use these for Spring/Summer shooting.

Ian750 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 To be honest I'm grateful you asked the question, was going to buy some myself, don't think I'll bother Cheers mate, another few quid saved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet boy Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 For Winter shooting I use Deerhunter's Rusky Gloves which are superb and would keep you warm in Extreme Weather conditions-Brilliant!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrispti Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) They are designed to give 100% grip in wet conditions. They are not advertised as a waterproof warm winter glove Although they do now have the ''Climatec'' which is said to ''shelter your hands from the cold''. They are very good at what they are designed for . . . . . GRIP. . . Edited January 12, 2011 by chrispti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apache Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 I have a pair and they are OK. Keep scratching my nose on the velcro on the back of the finger, it doesn't hold the trigger finger back. I use them but wouldn't buy more. I have some Musto game shooting gloves and they are excellent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are very good at what they are designed for . . . . . GRIP. . . Yep, they increase grip in wet conditions and, TBH, do what it says on the tin. MacWet Gloves are becoming the most popular sporting glove globally as sport enthusiasts discover the benefits of the unique fabrics the gloves are manufactured with giving 100% grip in wet conditions. With a range of sports for which the gloves are used, the MacWet logo is becoming well known throughout the world. Whether your sport is Equestrianism, Shooting, Fishing, Cycling, Watersports, Paragliding or Quad Biking a pair of MacWet Gloves will give you the edge over the competition with their 'all grip, no slip' properties. The benefits of the gloves are obvious with the skin tight fit giving full dexterity and sensitivity in the lightweight fabrics so the wearer doesn't feel as if they are wearing gloves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Fox Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) Have some. Love them, also have some musto's - always take the mac wets out in preference. Keep me warm enough. Edited January 13, 2011 by Hot-Shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colster Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 I have a pair and they are OK. Keep scratching my nose on the velcro on the back of the finger, it doesn't hold the trigger finger back. I use them but wouldn't buy more. I have some Musto game shooting gloves and they are excellent Not sure that what you have are MacWets. I bought mine specifically because they DON'T have a fold back finger. The grip is good enough for me to reload my Air rifle/roll a smoke without taking them off. As said above they're aren't intended as a thermal glove for you southern pansies that feel the cold Personally when it's my turn on the lamp in the 4x4 I have some nice chunky Thinsulate ones that keep my lamp hand warm but for shooting I like MacWets - cheapest I found online was from justcartridges website but they have gone up a bit recently (think I paid £26 for them).

I have to agree I've got a few pairs of Macwet gloves that i used for both clay and game shooing and can't fault them When its a bit nippy outside the peacock handwarmer sorts that out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Bought a pair when they first came out,very good grip in the wet..which is what they were designed for. They weren't designed as a warm/waterproof glove,but find i get on better without gloves at all,don't eeven know where they are now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 I wear glove to keep my hands warm and/or dry. I don't need gloves to help my grip, dry or wet, if I did I would save the money and get few pairs of these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troosers Too Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Great product if what you want is an expensive, non-warm, non-waterproof pair of gloves! Don't bother with them. TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT That's like considering using a microwave to dry a cat, IMHO. If you want something to "give 100% grip in wet conditions" then they're great. They do not claim to be warm nor waterproof, AFAIK, but to give 100% grip, in the same way that a microwave does not claim to dry cats. They do exactly 'what it says on the tin'.

Dunkield Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Great product if what you want is an expensive, non-warm, non-waterproof pair of gloves! Very accurate and also quite funny. You can pay £40 for the Musto ones at Kennedy's at Bisley - queue this way please... In all fairness if they called them Macgrip or similar it would make more sense. I remembered where my hatred for them stemmed from the other day, I spent a day on the hills is Scotland, my Seeland's are normally too warm to I wore my Macwets instead. After about half an hour away from the argocat it started to tip down, and didn't really stop all day. My hands were soaked and absolutely freezing (I know we have established they are supposed to stop that) but I honestly would have been better of with bare hands.
