Title: Seal Skin gloves
Post by: soapy on February 23, 2011, 07:17:33 am

I seem to get through a pair of Seal Skin Gloves every 6 weeks.
They don't seem to be hard wearing enough and the Kevlar gloves are even worse !!
Does anyone know of a good alternative?

What i use is seal skin extreme, excellent glove, but don't reel your hoses in with them on this is what shreds them. I change to a pair of gloves i just use for reeling in the hose. A pain but keeps your seal skins in tip top shape. I bought mine in December and they are still going strong.
