Half Finger gloves A half-finger glove is best for people who want to have the best of both worlds, but it does come with its drawbacks. The best feature about this version is that you can keep your fingers free and wear a glove that's usually made from neoprene and has a hole for the thumb and pointer finger. Flip over mittens The flip-over mitten is best for people who want to wear a glove and use their fingers like they normally would. The best features of this type of glove are that it has a hole for your index finger and thumb, which makes it easy to hook fish and release them. Waterproof Neoprene Gloves Neoprene is best known for being waterproof, but with the best neoprene gloves designed with microfiber lining, you can keep your hands dry and warm. Low-quality neoprene gloves are not only ineffective in keeping you warm, they are also water repellent, so they won't keep your hands dry.  The best neoprene gloves have a full wrist enclosure to prevent water from creeping up inside the glove.  The best neoprene gloves are made of high-quality materials that will not provide an easy entry point for water to enter the glove. Low-quality materials trap warmth without preventing moisture from entering the glove, making them ineffective.
