    So I got the OR Metamorph Glove many year ago.

    Why are they the perfect glove for me?

    • Comfortable
      • I have short stubby double jointed fingers thus large joints, individual finger are usually too narrow and cut off my circulation, non issue with this clover.
    • Magnets
      • Fold mitt or thumb cover out of the way so it they don’t get in the way
    • Long cuff
      • Keeps my arm and hand warmer keeping cool air from seeping in
    • Thin enough to be a perfect liner mit
    • Super quick to have full dexterity

    I can’t find ANYTHING like these, anyone plan to make gloves of this style again?

    If you haven’t, you’ll probably want to look in the fly fishing industry… companies like Simms, Orvis and Reddington make a ton of different fingerless and convertible glove configurations. I’m not aware of this exact style, but it won’t surprise me if they do make it, or there’s something very similar that will work well for you. Good luck!

    This is the closest thing I found with Flyfishing, I just can’t have individual fingers as they always cut off my circulation making my hands colder.

    These actually look really promising, some use Polartec fabric. Might have to purchase some.
