What to look out for when choosing gloves
Richard Banbury: “Gloves must fit with no loose material that could get caught in the breech. They need to dry quickly, have good feel and absolutely give you a safe grip on a polished gun stock. For me, a fold back trigger finger is not essential, but you must have excellent feel through the trigger finger.”
Jonathan Irby: “Gloves that are thin, warm and well-fitted.”
Kristian Ferner Robson: “I mainly look for warmth, movability and how supple and flexible they are while shooting.”
Lady Melissa Percy: “I look out for stretch, warmth, a subtle colour… black, olive green or brown and waterproof / windproof are handy too.”
