I wore those last winter & even with nitrile glove liners it felt like my fingertips were on fire some mornings... :-\
I'm yet to find some gloves that will do the trick in cold conditions when doing mainly WFP with a bit of trad thrown in...

-

Had a look at them they look as good and as useless as Sealskinz gloves the outer of the glove is not waterproof they just have waterproof inner membrane .
Which means that the outer of glove will get wet which will lead to your hands been freezing .
Bought some winter gloves of www.gardinerpolesystems.co.uk they are the lightweight blue glove for £9:00 with vat .
kept my hands warm in past 2-3 days with the cold winds plenty of room for a glove liner whether nitrile glove or cotton .
My hands still got cold with Showa 377's and glove liner but i have nerve damage in my hands so my hands get cold easily , But for really wet days they are the ultimate waterproof glove . Mike

The problem with the neoprene gloves I find is that they stink really bad after a bit. They keep the water out OK but no good at keeping your hands warm.
Want to use something decent this year.
-
As i need some good gloves this winter i am watching this thread with interest. Was looking at some neoprene gloves but will wait for other sugestions now!
-
10 pairs of cheap wooly gloves, when they get wet put them on the dash board to dry out
;)

Not sure what kind of neoprene gloves you have been using, but the whole point of them IS to keep your hands warm, and in my experience, that is what they do. As for the smell, yes they can get a bit smelly, but that is the same with most waterproof gloves, especially if not breathable, but it is easy enough to clean them.
But, they don't necessarily keep your hands dry (some do, some don't, I think it depends on what kind of neoprene), and the ones I used were prone to tearing on the pole clamps. I do like the look of those diving ones though, might give them a try myself.
-
Is no one gonna mention a big MAN UP! ;D
-
I wear just vinyl gloves. Just enough to keep the hands dry.
And yeah man up ;)

On the beaver website, the rrp is £29.50, so I think the sites you have been looking at are trying it on!

Ive been recommened these to try.
ProFlex® 818OD Thermal Waterproof Gloves or
Flexitog FG15 which are freezer gloves
Dazzler

Warmest things youll ever wear. £12 or so a pair. Two pairs will see you through winter. Need two in case you get water inside one of them so you can stay warm while the other pair dries. If they dont do the job contact me and Ill pay for them for you.

Good gloves but too thick and bulky, hands get smelly too.
Try skytec argon. About £6 or £7 a pair. The right balance of being thine nought to use for trad and being warm enough. 1 pair on van heater and 1 on your hands, swap as needed.

im into my 4th winter with the same pair of glacier "perfect curve"gloves from the windowcleancentre.i only wear them on very cold days with liners underneath so my hands dont smell.they keep your hands VERY warm and dry.mine are looking a bit tatty as ive caught them on pole clamps a few times but still useable.
most of the year i wear show 377s.again with liners underneath.hands clean and dry.
i also have some pad ice gloves from gardiners which are also quite warm in cold weather although the knitted wool backs can get wet.the palms are nice and grippy and waterproof.
regards

Watched a video about them on window cleaning resources. Outdry looks interesting.
Anyone tried them?

Whatever you do, do not buy sealskinz all season glove. Today was their first main test and my hands are cold, they are also not waterproof. Cost me £35 aswell, not happy!
Think my next glove will be from showa, the 490 looks good.

You won't find many on here recommending sealskinz. Overpriced and not upto the job in my experience.
-
Real wool fingerless gloves are the way to go.... That's all I use
-
Any kind of quality skiing glove especially goretex lined, let in no cold whatsoever or no water, but be prepared to pay one pair will last a winter.

I'll stick with my Marigolds for another winter. :-*

i use joka polar gloves with linings,there 100% waterproof but due to this your hands sweat causing the linings to get damp,then your hands get cold ,i put them on dash board between jobs,then there warm for next job,and that helps a lot.

I take betablockers and my fingers get really cold. I bought a pair of the Showa gloves. Insulation is more imprtant atm.

I use Joka Hold gloves - tough and waterproof with cotton liners (available from Medisupplies). Cotton liner gloves are cheap, washable and easily changed during the day if they happen to get wet.

I've tried most that are discussed on here, so far nothing has beaten these!

Haven't got them yet. Youngstown don't last long enough for the money, but more importantly, my fingertips don't warm up. It's actually verging on painful. At least this morning it was and it wasn't even that cold. I need someting with more insulation.

D'ya think 40 quid is too much for these? Price includes shipping.

Want something durable, warm and waterproof. Sealskinz are made with spun steel?? about same price with shipping but not got a good rep it sounds like. No one tried these?

I was looking at a pair of them on ebay (epic tools is the name of the shop) as well as a pair of 'fox' gloves from the same place, which looked very similar, but were £23.95. I contacted them and asked what the difference was. They said that the fox was a very popular glove, but the ergodyne (proflex), had more padding, more insulation and better quality stitching. I was on the point of ordering a pair, but decided to try the beaver Kevlar lined diving gloves mentioned earlier in this topic. I thought they looked pretty good, and hopefully the Kevlar lining will prevent the tearing issues I have had with other neoprene gloves, but will have to wait and see!.

Just had a look on ebay - I found some similar 817WP gloves $47.99 before shipping but they don't have the Outdry.

Just had a pair of these delivered today. Only ordered one pair as I wanted to see what they was like. 1st impressions are they are very warm and grippy on the outside. Will find out tomorrow if they really are waterproof! Hope so!

I could kiss Dave Mills. First day with these today and these gloves are great. This is the first time that my fingers didn't hurt with the cold.

Tried the ProFlex Outdry gloves.
- Well impressed. They are warm like ski gloves but less bulky. Got the fingers pretty wet but no water or cold felt inside. Look like they will last. Good buy me thinks. I probably should have got large rather than medium probably bordering between both but proved their worth early at 6 this morning at sub zero..

Yes i am sure they will be, the amount gloves i have bought before and end up, either with smelly hands, or tear quick, or water gets through, if these last six months, it will work out a lot cheeper than others in a long run.
