Will have to get a look at the Macwet next time I'm over. Having choices of intermediate sizes will likely be helpful. The closest thing to an ideal fit for me was a pair of Outdoor Research. As always, thanks for the video.
Loving the podcast mate. I just can't leave a comment on Spotify. I also concur with the gloves, those are the same macwets I've had for a couple of years. I really like them. Keep up the good work mate, love all the content.
got both mac wet and sealskinz mac wet are the better fit the sealskinz seem to be too thick hard to feel the trigger mac wet about £30 andthe sealskinz about £50 ill stay with macwet cheers great review mitch
Agree that the MW aren't the warmest and not much use in the wet. The one thing that annoys me about them is where the neoprene and leather meet. The seam is right at the end of the finger , when I would prefer a smooth end. I would have brought the seam to where the finger nail is. But they are thin and useable when shooting. The Sealskinz that I was given are too thick for me, even with the trigger finger and thumb foldbacks, so I've never used them shooting.
last time i used those sealskins was grouse hunting in october in norway, lost a capercaile because of the humidity and the layers inside the glove made it impossible to get the gun off safe. Big trauma! October in Norway is freezing in the mountains, so i thougt it was a good idea to bulk up... So your concern regarding safety is consensual:) ill try those macwets. Some nitril disposable gloves underneath or over one layer gloves, will make any glove windproof and keep hands warmer. If the gloves are dry, over. If all vet, one disposable glove next to skin and one on top. Still u should operate firearm without any loss of control.
I’ve had MacWet gloves now for a couple of years, excellent gloves but can’t say they keep my hands warm compared to non shooting ones, if that makes sense! I’ve used hand warmers the type you can reuse. We don’t get as cold as you down south! Enjoy your channel, thanks.
Just subed mate love how down to earth you are I miss taking my Side by sides out I wear some tight leather gloves when I shoot in cold or wet weather but I may give these a look. All the best from East Yorkshire.
Thanks for this Lloyd, if you're looking for a fair comparison with Sealskinz perhaps try the Sealskinz "shooting" glove or "Hunting" glove. I'm a lucky Scotsman who doesn't need (thinner) cold weather gloves but when it's really cold and wet you can't beat Sealskinz "hunting"; a leather trigger finger and tactile leather palm and thumb allowing that dexterity you were looking for. The "Shooting" glove is good but they replaced a Velcro fixing for the hinged trigger finger and thumb with small magnets. The magnets catch cartridges by accident and can be pulled out of your pocket or bag and dropped, not ideal. The Hunting Glove will give all the use with your dog too; I've a cocker and Lab and the glove never fails. I can't comment any more than you've given on the MacWet but they are basically an all-weather golf glove which can be purchased at a fraction of the price, just as well you get them free of charge. All the best and keep up the good work.
I hate the finger flip style gloves for shooting. They are grand for stalking as your trigger time is limited, but clay shooting is much more trigger intensive, and you are always in and and out of pockets for carts where I find the finger thing just p***es me off.
I was told by my local gun shop to get half a size smaller so there nice and tight so not to have any wrincles around the fingers and that they then stretch slightly to your hand making them fit alot better
I bought some Beretta gloves and they are 💩 they have or I should say had a rubber webbing on the fingers and palms which came off the very first time I used them so I’m going to have a look at the Mac wet ones 🤷♂️
Lloyd I'm going to have to get a pair of skins . I've been wearing me light duty work gloves with the blue rubber on the palms and their cold and they do get wet nasty pair too
@@lloydyp lol sorry I’m not familiar with the UK system. Works a bit differently in Canada. Once you obtain your firearms license it’s good for life and you can purchase as many firearms as you want. Just have to pay to renew once every five years.
great review, just looking at what to purchase, as I walk the dog and collect the same wet cold dummies looks like I might be purchasing one of each... :-) Please keep the info coming, warm clothing which allows easy movement is also an area or research im exploring if you have any ideas.
@@lloydyp they are a great glove I’m sure they do a winter version too I’m forever buying gloves there pretty essential bits of kit for the money I would say MacWet offer the best shooting gloves
I'm afraid the most miserable I have ever been wildfowling was wearing a pair of macwets on the north bank of the tay in a storm. In the end took them off and my hands started to warm UP in the rain and wind. Mine were an early pair, but even then the name "macwet" is disingenuous.
I still have both pair, the macwets normally last me about 3 year, 1st year as shooting gloves, 2nd and 3rd year as general dog walking, rough shooting, stalking, gloves, The sealskins only get used when its really cold and wet but they are still going strong after a year as I would expect.
As soon as I'm finished watching this I'm going to check out your podcast. Enjoy the heck out of your channel!
Enjoy :)

I really enjoyed the 3rd episode from the broken gun podcast! Keep up the great work! Cheers from the states!
Thanks Aaron. Be sure and share it with anyone you think will enjoy our potty mouth humour.

Thank you sir 😌
Macwet are my preferred glove when shooting
Thanks Jonathan
Macwet best by far and have tried them all. Excellent fit and amazing in the rain.
Amazing *grip* in the rain. They are not warm or waterproof.
got both mac wet and sealskinz mac wet are the better fit the sealskinz seem to be too thick hard to feel the trigger mac wet about £30 andthe sealskinz about £50 ill stay with macwet cheers great review mitch
Thanks for watching Peter.
Enjoying your channel mate! All the best to you and deirdre cheers Lawrence 👍
Thanks man.
As always great video Lloyd. Great info
Cheers man.
Cheers Lloyd I have been looking for a good pair of gloves for the cold weather. I have a pair on order and can't wait to try them. Good vid!
Got the MacWet's today. And they fit like a glove!!! Nice 1

The seam doesnt bother me as the fit is tight enough that I dont notice it.
There are thin gloves out there that are thin and get warmer when wet....just depends what you want them for...?

To anyone that hasn’t checked out the podcast, do so as soon as you can, I was howling at Ep2. Ed’s driven koalas 😂😂😂😂
Thanks Michael.
I thought it was a legit sport..

@@lloydyp try the hunting ones Lloyd, they are fixed finger and the longer you use them the more sensitive they get; they need a little wearing in.
@@stuartnaysmith1282 link? I'll have a look.
Good video. Thanks
Thank you.
How accurate do you find macwets measuring guide for glove size ?
Works great for my hands, and for Mrs P.
I was told by my local gun shop to get half a size smaller so there nice and tight so not to have any wrincles around the fingers and that they then stretch slightly to your hand making them fit alot better
You'll have to show us how you are getting on working the Springer....
We shall see.
Very useful review... Im more of a naked hand sorta gal... But those macwets might sway me.. Cheers Lloyd
Cheers me babs.
I bought some Beretta gloves and they are 💩 they have or I should say had a rubber webbing on the fingers and palms which came off the very first time I used them so I’m going to have a look at the Mac wet ones 🤷♂️
Good shout.
Lloyd I'm going to have to get a pair of skins . I've been wearing me light duty work gloves with the blue rubber on the palms and their cold and they do get wet nasty pair too
These would, I'm sure make good work gloves.
Very good gloves,I want it too
Thanks for watching
Great content mate. Any plans to purchase any guns this year?? Do you have your eyes on anything specific?
I do, but it very much depends on the backlog for FAC grants as to whether I get to buy any guns this year.
@@lloydyp let’s hope you get some grants than 👌🏻
@@davecervo lol only need 1. Ideally before my ticket runs out. 🤣

Would love to do some comparisons there but while buying a set of gloves is easy enough, I'll not be buying a load of 400 quid jackets any time soon.
@@lloydyp LOL......what about base layers etc...for us newbys to clay shooting......when we are allowed to get out again.
Is there a second pod cast Mr P?
1 podcast, but there are 3 episodes now. Which you would know, if you were a subscriber.....
I was sure I subscribed, maybe I didn’t, it’s my old timers, 👍
for shooting macwets and the company are well above par.
Thanks for watching Tim.
I wear big thick warm gloves and take them off on the clay stand
Iv'e tried that and it juet gets on my nerves.
👀....moral of the story find what suits you, and not what other people like.
I love my macwets but there not waterproof
Indeed they are not. I never said they were though.
@@lloydyp they are a great glove I’m sure they do a winter version too I’m forever buying gloves there pretty essential bits of kit for the money I would say MacWet offer the best shooting gloves
I'm afraid the most miserable I have ever been wildfowling was wearing a pair of macwets on the north bank of the tay in a storm. In the end took them off and my hands started to warm UP in the rain and wind.

Witch would you say is more durable
I still have both pair, the macwets normally last me about 3 year, 1st year as shooting gloves, 2nd and 3rd year as general dog walking, rough shooting, stalking, gloves, The sealskins only get used when its really cold and wet but they are still going strong after a year as I would expect.
