Has anyone tried these please? http://www.sealskinz.com/gloves/ultra-grip-gloves

Supposed to be rubbish, get Youngstown winter gloves.

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.

ive got a pair for mtbiking and road biking what they are designed for,and i can tell you that they aint WATERPROOF,
now i also use the youngtown one,now these are waterproof,also they are warmer to wear,
-
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?
-
seal skinz are crap.... youngstown winter waterproof are the best i have ever had
-
How big are the youngstown gloves, it says one size fits all but I usually go for x-large in other gloves (got big hands :-\)
would they be big enuf

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?

I've tried all kinds of gloves from Sealskins to Aldi gardening gloves. The problem that I find is when your pulling your pole up and down the thumb part sometimes gets caught on one of the clamps hence you then needing a new pair. If only some manufacturer could come up with something to solve this problem.
