The AFTCO Helm Gloves are designed for cold-weather fishing when warmth needs to be balanced with the dexterity required for handling tackle and gear. A windproof four-way stretch outer shell allows natural hand movement, while a microfleece thermal insulation liner provides warmth without the bulk of a heavier winter glove. They can be worn alone in cool conditions or used as a liner when additional protection is needed.

A reinforced nylon palm adds durability, while silicone palm texturing provides additional grip when handling rods and equipment. The two-layer windproof cuff helps protect against cold air, and a touchscreen-compatible index finger allows smartphones and other touchscreens to be operated without removing the gloves.
