They work out at around £17 a pair plus carriage.
I have had stuff sent over from this company in the US and carriage was cheap enough...

So had a pair shipped over from The US, did get walloped for Import tax & VAT, total cost of gloves around £45.
Very Expensive!
On the good side of things...
They are a very good glove, a little on the large side, and seem a little loose all the time, even tho I have Large hands.
Having said that, I do like them. I like the loose fit, (after a while you get used to it) Thinking of all those tight fitting gloves I've tried in the past and how they used to make my fingers Numb for the first hour or so, these big gloves don't do that and do allow for circulation.

Fully waterproof and because they are 'Triple Dipped' even the coldest water isn't a problem!

The Velcro tops as advertised are a brilliant feature, along with the loose fit it makes for so easy on/off movements when needed (detailing windows, mobile phone, changing tools, dealing with paper/cash ect ect).

The only and main down point is the cost. If you could get them into the UK cheaper, then for the original cost of around £17 they are a good buy.

If anyone else has a pair it would be interesting to know what you think......

I got a pair and not to keen on them, they are too large for my hands, and too expensive to buy them from U.S. due to the tax issue, if some one come up with a slightly different design and smaller size plus make them in England, yes there could be a large market for it.

Yeah totally agree Overall size and import tax are only problems, find the loose fit very warm tho...

45 quid. there must be somewhere here you can get a good pair of gloves for that price  or even cheaper.

Oh Yes lots of cheaper alternatives out there, but as I originally said I got hit for all the Taxes, which for a £17 pair of gloves quite frankly I wasn't expecting, but hey ho lesson learned.
If you could get for £17 then they are worth it.
