I bought a few pairs if these last week. Arrived on Tuesday and I've had them on the last 2 days. I must admit I'm very impressed so far. Very warm and flexible enough to trad aswell. They are cheap too, if you buy 10+ pairs at a time around £3.50 per pair. Thumbs up from me.

as daft as it might sound, i have tried almost every kindof gloves and usually get the same problem (my hands get wet, or skin goes dry, or they get holes in them!!)
sainsburys do some blue rubber gloves with a cotton inside, these last around 3 months and only £4.00
they have cotton inside so resonably warm (put them on the heaters before first job )

Been using these Showa 377 gloves for about a month, and have been completley waterproof so far.
Not warm though.....

With the recent cold mornings, I'll also wear a pair of thin thermal gloves inside them.
Had these for a £1.00 in the local paper-shop......

showa 377 gloves are totally waterproof until they split which is usually between thumb and forefinger after a few months.
i wear these with nitrile glove liners underneath.hands nice and dry and clean!! ;) :) :)
-
Tesco do a thick black rubber glove put a thin pair inside works for me and only £1.47 pair try it john
-
same ,
tesco thick black rubber gloves,
got a few pairs showa 377 but dont like them so going back to tesco ones.
-
showa 377 gloves are very good if you like smelly hands!
-
All you wf polers need to stop messing around with small rubber gloves and get some full on ski'ing gloves.
Warm, waterproof and feels like your holding a baby seal all day instead of not being able to feel your hands at all!
Will work best with an aqua-dapter tho as you dont need to fiddle with a tap all day you just yank the hose!
I got mine from tk maxx. Around £20.
Not so good for trad tho as its harder to feel what your doing with cloths etc.
Over and Out
TLC ;)

as said by others tried em all
unger, sealskinz, showa 377.
These £2.35, when it's cold i wear edz merino tight wool gloves underneath rubber ones.
Got merino wool ones of amazon £10.
Sorry should read if it's EVER warm again will not wear wool gloves under rubber ones ;D

i use the ski gloves from the usual outside clothing stores on the high st.
i like a loose fitting glove that can be taken on/off easilly, for writing payment slips/collecting money etc.
i find the tight fitting rubber gloves to be a pita.
the ski gloves i find not to be 100% waterproof but most of the time wfping they dont get wet, but i do have 3 pairs in the van just incase. ;D
-
I use joka gloves. They are the only ones not to have split on me. The problem with the cold is it is worse on hands when they are wet. If u can stop the water getting on your hands the warmth should generate while your working and stay in the glove.
-
The skin on my hands is the way forward for me ;D
-
Goretex skiing gloves end of will cost you but they last and let no water or cold in what so ever in simple.

Goretex skiing gloves don't let any water in even if you stuck your hand in a bucket of water, don't go for the cheaper option you'll need to spend more like £30 not 20. Go for a good make like Karimoor

Go showa 490 - insulated gauntlets - toasty!
