Title: The Best Cheapest Gloves For Trad/Wfp
Post by: dazmond on February 11, 2011, 12:29:03 pm
just google SHOWA 377 GLOVES for those that havent got any!thanks to the guys that told me about these.used them this morning and yesterday and got to admit their great for the price!!


waterproof,tough and not too big and bulky.ideal for both wfp/trad.


theyre about a fiver a pair but with vat/postage its over a tenner but still worth it.i think if you order more than £50 of gear postage is free on the arco online store.


regards

The ones with orange rubber fingers and wool backs are great. Use them for a month then chuck'em.

I'm a pro. I only use the best kit.The tool for this job is double dip short gauntlets.These cost two to three pounds at a good safety work wear type outlet.

Get a pair of ten inch ones for gutters. Next time you see a wheelie bin cleaner notice they will be wearing the longer ones.

I use any old gloves like gardening gloves 3 prs for a fiver. Each pair lasts about 3 months. If they didn't get caught up on pole clamps then they would last longer.

Hi Dazmond

Do these SHOWA 377 gloves last long and do they make your hands stink?

Post by: dazmond on February 21, 2011, 11:09:56 am

Been using these for years.

http://www.protecdirect.co.uk/General-Handling-Gloves/BLUE-GRIP-Fully-Coated-Grip-Glove.htm

I usually have about 3 pairs on the go, and leave them on the dash to dry

Just thought I'd say I've been using these for a couple of months now, and they are the business. However they do make your hands smell bad.  Something like a combination of wet dog and bad feet, so says the wife and son.

poundland gloves...rubber palms cotton back have about ten pairs(wash them when iam doing scrims)..and poundland surgical gloves underneath..

showa has doubled in price from that guy i think we all must have bought from him he wants a fiver now.. ! they are good but they only last 2-3 months. before they wear between the tumbs and water pours in. dont get me wrong still good for a fiver.

are these the ones from pound land if they do the job like showa or even say a good month it might be worth a shot.as long as it does what the advert says its worth a try Water Resisitant too it says.
