^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

i find they tear when wringing out scrim :(

What gloves you wear now then?

ive gone back to the thick marigolds (handyman ones i think) with thermal inserts

This is a good idea and cheap! Can you get black ones as pink and yellow are not for me lol
I'll give this a go for sure  

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.

Tried this with thin gloves as liners & for under £4 in total Brilliant! Totally waterproof cheap to replace if they get torn/ripped and although they are tight on my hands by the end of the day I didnt even notice and my hands where warm & clean! Cheers for this post  ;D

You're welcome, Andy.
They are still the best solution for me. I've tried neoprene, Sealskins and others but I prefer these and they are the cheapest. Also, I like their versatility- add liners or remove when it's not too cold. And they are very easy to work in without a liner.

I have found that Showa 377 are perfect for wfp & trad work...not to thick or thin and strong.....

Cheers
