To be honest I dont rate them for wfp work. I bought a pair a few years ago and although they are smart and a nice fit the palms wear out quickly and holes appeared within a couple of weeks due to constant handling of the poles.
I still wear them though but only for walks etc but not work. Still very warm.

I bought some showa gloves a couple of months ago and they are fantastic. a fraction of the price and havent ripped yet BUT they are not fleeced. They are basically blue thick rubber gloves. I think they are called Showa 477.
I have just ordered some fleeced showa rubber gloves from E-bay and still waiting for delivery so I cant recommend them yet but some people here on CIU recommended them. I paid £14.99 for two pairs so worth a shot. I will try and find the post and bring it back to the top of this forum for your attention.

I use mine for MTB but am a fair weather rider so no need for water proof but a nice and warm fit.

How long have you been using the youngstown for wfp? I just checked them out on ebay and they look good. Any signs of wear on the palm and stitching yet?

YWCS - If you google 'youngstown waterproof winter gloves' and check the amazon site at the top it has some guides for hand measurements.

hi lee,

I have googled Youngstown winter gloves but they all seem to be American sites and the shipping is more than the gloves, is there a uk supplier?

i need some waterproof winter gloves too! im trying to figure out why i get wet hands from wfp in the first place!  :-\ :-\ :-\

i cant remember them getting wet in the summer months! or maybe they did but i didnt care or notice much?!?

its just i cant figure out where the water is coming from to get the gloves wet in the first place, i mean when im doing fascia saofit and gutter clean i can understand then because it drips down the pole! but doing just windows? its beyond me!

any ideas folks?
