Skytec Argon for me. Good upto about -2°C, any colder then it's unsafe for WFP anyway Imo. Can be picked up from ebay for a little over £5 a pair.

I think they all leak like a sieve after a good days graft in the wet , For me they are currently ideal having nerve damage in my hands which even at +6 my hands can get pretty cold easily .

Showa 460s don't ever, ever, ever leak.  And they are toasty warm.

Generally they don't make them in a small size so I have not been able to order any in the past , Not sure if the medium will be to big

I was told the other day to buy a decent pair of workable motorcycle gloves, fully warm and waterproof but generally start at about £35.

Disposable Nitrile gloves when it's cool.
Skytec Argon gloves over the top of those when it's cold.
Showa 490s over Disposable Nitrile when it's really cold!

Thanks for reminding me. I've got a pair gathering dust in the wardrobe. I spent a small fortune on gear then sold my bike soon after so maybe I could even use the goretex bike jacket and fancy helmet for all round protection.  :D

last year doing trad i just wore pound shop magic gloves, pretty crap got wet and didnt keep hands too warm but on the plus side they was nice and tight fitting so helping with the feel when doing trad and took the edge of the stone cold ladders!
cant wait this year using the pole and not the ladders.
