Showa 490s.

Warm on the very coldest days.  Keep the insides dry and your hands will toast.

Unger have just made a new range of gloves to protect your hands when using Water Fed Poles, they look like a nice product

If buying Unger buy at least one size bigger than you would usually have, they come very small. XL were like a medium or small large on me.

showa 377 (£6) a pair with the nitrile blue glove liners underneath.cheap and great to use all year round for hand protection.i have 3 brand new pairs in stock! ;) ;D ;D

when it gets really cold i have a pair of glacier "perfect curve"gloves that i use which keeps the hands toasty and warm as well as waterproof but they only get used when working on very cold morning or when its snowing.

regards

I have to agree bosh they are sweet gloves.. They don't make your hands smell horrible like most others and worth every penny.

ive used the youngstown winter waterproof gloves and they are very good. the only downside is they only last for a couple of months before they wear. also you can get a cold feeling when they get wet.

Aldi have some Neoprene (wet suit stuff) gloves for fishing in at the moment
£4.99 a pair, if your going to get your hands wet there is nothing better than neoprene to keep them warm and for a Fiver you can't go wrong really.

Trouble with these kind of gloves is that they get smelly very quick and for ever you have to keep washing  them in washing machine.

I get really sore hands with all gloves my skin cracks around the nails. Takes ages to heal too.

Any recommendations appreciated please. I'm in this for the long haul.
