Blue can be one of the worse colors that you can wear. The animals can see it faster than anyother color. something to do with the light rays or something. I can try to find the info for you if you want. But i guess if the animal has seen you then you don't have very good odds anyways. But just something you might want to consider. As far as the gloves go just keep trying different ones. or find a cheap pair and cut out the fingers where your glove realese is, and sew some thin fabric back on the "warm glove" and then you should have a what your lookin for also. just a thought.
