For those who love the sights and sounds of hunting ducks, geese and other waterfowl, this one’s for you. While seeing a flight of ducks decoy into the spread, the conditions also present some unique challenges. The hunting is often best when the weather is at its worst—cold temperatures, drizzling rain and even sleet or snow, plus gusty winds. Being on the water doesn’t help things, and retrieving decoys can also make for a soaking-wet experience too. And you also need to remain well concealed.
Hunt Monkey understands these unique challenges and has a complete line of gloves designed with the waterfowler in mind. From those dry, warm early season hunts to later in the year when things can turn downright frigid, there’s a glove solution for nearly every condition.
First up is the aptly named Duck Pond decoy glove. This one is 100 percent waterproof, with fleece lined brushed neoprene for a warm, dry fit. The longer cuffs prevent water intrusion when setting and retrieving decoys, while the slim-cut index finger and thumb allows for precise trigger and reloading control. There’s a non-slip Monkey Grip palm as well, which works just as well when wet as it does dry. And it’s also available in a variety of camo patterns including the Mossy Oak Bottomland and Shadow Grass.
The WildCat, available in a glove and also in a mitten, is a technologically advanced glove designed for extreme cold and wet weather conditions. Featuring performance-based materials that create one of the highest warmth-to-weight ratios in the industry, it has a unique thermo-conductive lining which traps and retains heat while drastically reducing bulk. The result is greatly improved dexterity and precise trigger management with a dry, warm, comfortable environment for your hands. The mitten has flip-top fingers with magnetic stays to rapidly transition to shooting when needed.
The Wooly Hunt is always a best-seller, for a variety of reasons. A natural insulator which works great wet or dry, wool is an exceptional performer in any cool or cold-weather environment. The comfort and fit is unmatched in performance and the unique characteristic of wool allows the glove to absorb up to 30 percent of its weight in water without feeling heavy or damp. The wool fibers also breathe, allowing moisture to be wicked away while its insulating quality keeps your hands warm even when wet. Synthetic leather palms and non-slip Monkey Grip provide a sure grip, too. Pair these gloves with a Conceal or Conceal Fleece face guard and you’ve also not only added warmth but also concealment to your face and neck.
Give your customers the gear they need to be warm, comfortable and safe on the water or in the blind this season. To learn more about becoming a dealer for Hunt Monkey products, head to www.dealers.fishmonkeygloves.com.
