www.engelbert-strauss.co.uk   been having a look at the range of leather gloves for sale they look good for the price i like the assembly ice gloves and the full yellow leather ones as well ,

I only have small hands and most of the gloves sold are to big , yes they will get wet but if you have a few pairs to change they should work well as they are proper work gloves and they have star ratings for the usage .      MIKE

Have a look at the gloves at go outdoors or decathalon the good thing there is you can try them on! I wear snowbord gloves which is not for everone but once you get past the thickness your hands will not get cold I have done two full seassons snowboarding so there well tested.

I do notice mine now let water in a bit as there not totally waterproof & 5 years old  so I just spray them fabsil waterproofer also avil from the above stores.
Having said that the above shops gloves are waterproof and have a 2 year cover there not cheap but will last the other good thing is they have straps the go over your wrist so if you take the glove off it just hangs down and you cant loose them if your sorting money etc.

Yes, I use them. You can get black, heavy duty ones in Tesco for less than £2. Add some thinnish liners, when it's really cold. Warm hands and they are totally waterproof, if a little restrictive.
They might not be for everybody, but for the money, you've almost nothing to lose. Unlike some of the more professional gloves.

even top Quality gloves will fail i just thought the gloves been built for work would last i expect my gloves to get wet when moving hose , even damp gloves in really cold weather will make your hands cold i intend on wearing rubber gloves underneath ,    MIKE

I bought two pairs of sealskins last winter but after a few months they ripped and were worthless. I know use Wilko gardening gloves £1 a pair which last about a month but compare that to price of Sealskins and its still a good saving. No more black hands either!!
