i used the sealskin gloves, they are pretty good, preferd them to the unger gloves because the ungers make your hads sweat and smell. on really cold mornings i found the tips of my fingers took a while to get warm in the sealskins, but overal they are a good glove,

tried alot of gloves and these are the best your going to get for trad, bit more money but worth it.

Bought a pair of these and they're not waterproof. Your hands get damp immediately and stay damp and therefore cold.
Can anyone recommend some warm and waterproof trad gloves?

ive got the glacier perfect curve gloves and they are excellent for trad on cold days esp if you carry around an ali ladder.only problem is they do make your hands smell and sweat a bit but they stay warm!!
had a pair of GUL gloves from gardiners.rubbish and lasted 6 weeks before being binned.
both of these are expensive at around £20 a pop.
if you want some good all arounders at a fair price then the showa 377 gloves from arco are ok and seem to be hardwearing AND waterproof!!
just google SHOWA 377 GLOVES
hope this helps

go for these, dont waste your money on any others, used for both wfp and trad all winter so far and still on first pair!

I have a few pairs of woollen gloves with rubber palms. They are OK, but I find gloves a pain, as I have to keep taking them off to get my book, change etc out, and it just slows me down.
This winter I haven't used gloves at all. After the first hour my hands are usually warm enough.
