Traverse Gloves for Men - Thin Touchscreen Hunting Gloves

In this review of the Traverse Gloves for Men, the bottom line is simple: these gloves are built for hunters who need thin, dexterous hand protection without removing gloves for phone or scope adjustments. The reviewer found the recycled stretch poly fleece construction gives a snug, tactile feel that preserves fingertip control, while the touchscreen-compatible index finger and thumb remove a common annoyance on hunts. Lightweight and treated with a durable repellent finish, they shed light precipitation and resist staining so they work well for warm- and mid-season hunting when a heavy insulated glove would be overkill.

Key Features

• Thin construction: Provides full dexterity so hunters can operate triggers, bow releases and zippers without taking gloves off.
• Recycled stretch poly fleece: The 98% recycled polyester and 2% elastane blend offers a close, comfortable fit that moves with the hand.
• Touchscreen fingertips: Ax Suede on the index finger and thumb lets you use a phone or GPS without exposing skin.
• Durable water repellent finish: Sheds light precipitation and helps resist staining during wet or muddy conditions.
• Textured grip palms: Light silicone print on the palms improves purchase on a bow grip, firearm or treestand ladder.
• Lightweight: Total weight around 2 oz keeps hands agile and prevents bulk during long glassing sessions.

Who It's For

These gloves are best for hunters who prioritize dexterity and touchscreen access: turkey, deer and big game hunters in warm or mid-season conditions will appreciate the thin feel and grip. The lightweight construction also makes them a good layering choice under thicker insulated gloves on colder mornings.

Those who need heavy insulation for subzero hunts or require fully waterproof mittens should look elsewhere, since the Traverse focuses on light precipitation protection and breathability rather than heavy thermal performance.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Excellent dexterity and tactile control for handling gear and shooting.
• Touchscreen-compatible thumbs and index fingers remove the need to bare skin to use devices.

• Eco-conscious fabric choice with high recycled polyester content.

Cons

• Fit is mixed among users: some find the gloves snug and others prefer a roomier fit, so size selection matters.
• Not intended as a primary insulated or fully waterproof glove in very cold or wet conditions.
