Deerhunter 8855 Approach gloves with silicone grip XL/ 2XL

Deerhunter 8855 Approach gloves with silicone grip XL/2XL, quiet, grippy, calmly reliable

Sometimes you only realize outside how important good gloves are. When the binoculars don’t slip, the trigger breaks cleanly and you can still operate your smartphone without exposing your fingers to the cold. It’s exactly in this niche that the Deerhunter 8855 Approach gloves with silicone grip in size XL/2XL feel at home.

Elastic outer material for flexible hands

The outer material is made entirely of polyester, more precisely a lightweight 100% polyester fabric of about 120 g/m². This allows the gloves to fit snugly around your hands without feeling too stiff. The material is elastic, so when you’re gripping, climbing or reloading, you don’t feel like you’re working against the fabric. You can move your hands normally, even when you need to handle something more delicate.

Breathable and comfortable to wear, even on longer tours

If you’re out for longer periods, perhaps stalking or changing stands, you don’t want sweaty hands in a heat build-up. The fabric is designed to be breathable so that moisture can escape to the outside. This makes them noticeably more comfortable in everyday life, at the shooting range or while hunting, because the gloves don’t feel clammy. They are soft and comfortable, rather unobtrusive at the wrist, so you almost forget about them after a short time.

Camouflage design for discreet use

The surface is designed as a camouflage polyester fabric. This means the gloves blend in visually well with wooded or mixed hunting grounds. Especially when you work a lot with your hands, use binoculars or touch ladders and railings on the high seat, it’s pleasant when nothing flashes in bright colors. The camouflage pattern looks functional and unobtrusive, not overloaded.

Water-repellent finish for changeable weather

The gloves are treated with a water-repellent finish. Light drizzle, damp branches or wet grass tend to bead off rather than soaking the material immediately. Of course, this does not replace full-fledged rain gloves in continuous rain, but for typical Central European “it’s drizzling again” days, the finish is very helpful.

Silicone grip for a secure hold on firearm, optics and gear

A key feature of the Deerhunter 8855 Approach gloves is the continuous silicone grip on the inside. The palm, side areas and thumb are coated with silicone to provide a non-slip grip. You notice this when handling the rifle, holding binoculars or operating equipment, because you simply have more control, even when it’s damp or cool.

Especially when aiming or carrying the firearm safely, this additional grip is pleasant because you need less force to keep everything stable. The structure of the silicone areas is designed to be grippy but not sticky. So you have traction without constantly getting caught on your clothing.

Touch-tech on fingertips and thumb tips, touchscreens operable

A practical detail that has become almost indispensable in everyday life: touch-tech material is integrated into the fingertips and thumb tips. This allows you to operate touchscreens without taking off the gloves. Whether you quickly check a message, open your hunting app or trigger the camera on your smartphone, it generally works without any problems.

This way your hands stay protected while you can still quickly access digital devices. Especially on cold days or during longer sits, this is a real comfort advantage.

Stretch fit for XL/2XL, sits close to the hand

The gloves are designed in size XL/2XL and use a stretchable outer material. This allows them to fit closely without pinching. The elastic structure ensures a fairly precise fit, which is particularly helpful when shooting or operating small buttons and dials. You have more feel in your fingertips than you would with thicker winter gloves.

Durable polyester outer material, easy-care and suitable for everyday use

Since the outer material is made entirely of 100% polyester, the gloves are relatively resistant in everyday use. Polyester keeps its shape, dries quickly and tolerates frequent washing better than many natural fibers. At the same time, the fabric remains lightweight and flexible, which is ideal for outdoor activities.

Care instructions to keep the gloves in good condition for a long time

To enjoy your Deerhunter 8855 Approach gloves for a long time, it’s worth taking a look at the care instructions. We recommend washing the gloves on a normal cycle at up to 30 °C. Please do not use fabric softener, as this can impair the function of the material and the water-repellent treatment. It’s best to wash them separately and turned inside out so that the outside and the silicone areas are protected.

The garment should not be treated with bleach. So use only color or delicate detergents to preserve the camouflage pattern and the fabric structure. Dry cleaning is not intended; the gloves should not be dry-cleaned.

After washing, the gloves do not belong in the dryer. Simply hang them on the clothesline to dry, ideally in a well-ventilated place. Please do not iron them either, as heat could damage the polyester and the silicone coating. This way, fit, grip and appearance are preserved for as long as possible.

Areas of use, from hunting to everyday life

The Deerhunter 8855 Approach gloves with silicone grip XL/2XL are primarily intended for hunters, outdoor enthusiasts and sport shooters, but they work just as well for walks, dog walks or light work in the hunting grounds. Thanks to the camouflage design, good grip and touch-tech function, they cover a wide range of uses without being obtrusive.

So if you’re looking for gloves that are lightweight, stretchy, breathable and at the same time grippy, while still allowing you to operate your smartphone, these models fit the bill quite well. Not spectacularly loud, more inconspicuously useful – and that’s exactly what makes them so interesting in use.
