Title: anyone tried ulta tough sealskinz gloves?
Post by: prestige cleaners on January 05, 2011, 09:42:50 pm
i know the standard version are rubbish for wfp as they wear out within 2 weeks, but these are kevlar, but are £30. will also use them for snowboarding (once a year  ;D) as the standard ones were excellent in the snow. loads of feel too.

I got some from Window cleaning Warehouse at end of Nov after having the normal gloves last Jan. I used them for 8 days in total doing water fed poling during the cold at start of Dec and found holes developing on both index fingers, where they support the pole, and between index finger and thumb on both hands.

I sent them back to WCW and got an immediate full refund as they are no better than the standard gloves!

I wish I could find some decent tough waterproof gloves from somewhere!! :(  :(  :(

I've not tried the gloves you mention, but over the years have spent to much cash on gloves, to be honest the best thing i have come across is a pair of the yellow rubber/nitrile gloves lined with a pair of fleece gloves from Primark.

Similar to these

Total £2.00 , the yellow last a fair few weeks before they go, but throw and replace.
