Although I love double triggers for the ease of selection, simplicity, etc. there is one problem that I have. When it is cold, as in late season grouse hunting it is not uncommon for temps to be near the 10-15 degree mark. Wonderful weather for the dogs to run in but my hands get cold - very cold. I have to wear heavy gloves that make it near impossible to get a finger on the rear trigger. So, as the temperature drops I am forced to a single trigger gun. Hey, better than not hunting at all!

In the never ending search for winter gloves that are double gun compatible -I gave these a try last winter. Basically an insulated version of the uplander glove I wear most of the time

They worked well for winter clays. I wore them for a January duck hunt on one of the Finger Lakes, no issues with triggers. But after a day of heavy rain, I scoff at the claim they are waterproof
