Product Information
Full details
For anglers and outdoor enthusiasts needing enhanced dexterity in cool, windy conditions, the Simms Windstopper Half-Finger Gloves offer crucial hand protection with the freedom to perform intricate tasks. A key benefit is the improved ability for knot tying and line management. One caveat is that these gloves provide wind and water resistance, not full waterproofing, and are best suited for cool rather than extreme cold.

FAQs
Are these gloves fully waterproof?
No, the gloves are made with GORE-TEX WINDSTOPPER® fabric, which is windproof and water-resistant, but not fully waterproof. They are suitable for light rain or spray but not prolonged immersion in water.
What is the primary advantage of the half-finger design?
The half-finger design significantly increases dexterity, allowing for easier knot tying, line management, and handling of small gear or objects without removing the gloves.
How do I determine my glove size?
The gloves are available in Medium, Large, and XLarge. For best fit, measure the circumference of your palm just below the knuckles and compare with sizing charts if available, or try them on if possible.
Can I use these gloves in very cold weather?
While they offer wind protection and warmth, the half-finger design leaves fingertips exposed. For freezing temperatures, consider using them as an outer glove over a liner or opting for full-finger gloves.
How should I clean my Simms Windstopper Half-Finger Gloves?
Machine wash cold using a mild, non-bleach detergent. Do not use fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Do not iron or dry clean.
What does the TPU palm overlay do?
The textured TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) palm overlays add durability to high-wear areas and provide an enhanced, reliable grip, especially useful for handling wet lines or tools.
What is the material of the gloves?
The shell is made from GORE-TEX WINDSTOPPER® stretch fleece, and the palm overlays are made from textured TPU.
Troubleshooting
Reduced grip on palms
Clean the TPU palm overlays with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or oils that may have accumulated.
Fingertips feel too exposed
Consider pairing with glove liners for added warmth in colder conditions, or use for tasks that require brief exposure rather than prolonged cold exposure.
Gloves feel stiff after washing
Ensure you followed the care instructions, avoiding harsh detergents and fabric softeners. Air drying or a low heat tumble dry should restore flexibility.
Wind still penetrates slightly
Verify that the glove cuff is properly sealed around your wrist and there are no large gaps. Ensure the WINDSTOPPER® fabric is not damaged.
