Personal Assessment of product
This is one of those inexpensive products that just makes sense. My experiences in field dressing before using these gloves have always been messy. After field dressing game animals, my sleeves were always covered with blood, no matter how careful I was. I wasn’t immediately sold on the gloves when they first came out. I thought the mess was part of hunting, and I didn’t mind. I received these gloves as a Christmas present a couple of years back and threw them in my pack for the following year. They are extremely compact and take up almost no room. I was amazed at how well they worked, and for the first time completed the chore of field dressing with no mess. I have been using them ever since.
Product Limitations
There are few limitations associated with this product. The gloves are a simple idea; designed to reduce the mess of a dirty job. The only limitation that comes to mind when using these gloves is to be very careful with your knife. When wearing these gloves, your knife can become slippery throughout the process of field dressing. My main concern with the popularity of this product is that people remember to bring the dirty gloves back out after using. I pack the glove kit in a zip lock baggie, so when I’m finished, I put the dirty gloves in the zip lock baggie and stuff them in my pocket for my trip out.
Recommendation
I do not consider the Hunters Specialties Field Dressing Glove Kit to be a necessity for big game hunting, but I consider them to be a huge convenience. They do however, limit mess and exposure to bacteria, and they just make sense to have along on a hunt.
