Been using these gloves, strong black rubber.

Bought large which i've worn merino gloves underneath (works well for me)

Also bought the above gloves in medium which i did as tight fit maybe a bit too tight not tried wool gloves under medium, but they are great as i was writing bills out and handling cash not perfect but i was really pleased.
Big bonus is my hands don't smell like with showa's.

I know wearing gloves under rubber ones or rubber gloves is not a new idea; heard people say it alot.

But as said tried this pair in large and medium and really pleased.

Wasted loads of money on gloves over the last few years.
These easy to get tescos and at £2.35-£2.50 brillant imo :)

I've gone back to these after a trial run with the Showa 377's.

Didn't think the showas were any good at all

A way to totally eradicate the non too pleasant odour that inevitably starts to emanate from any glove is to first don a pair of those very thin HDPE plastic gloves you find on petrol station forecourts. They'll stay as fresh as the day you bought them.
