If there is a company out there that can produce a pair of gloves that doesn't develop a hole between the thumb and forefinger on the right hand whilst I'm working I'll buy some shares.
Any ideas guys?
Thanks, Phil...

Showa 306 Gloves can be bought from Screwfix for £6.99 their is reviews which rate them as very good , I will defo order a pair or 2 plus another pair of Skytec Argon gloves .
The 306 Gloves might not be warm but a good cotton or silk liner glove might just be the job going to look for prices on Amazon .

+1 keeps yer hands nice and toasty in cold weather

I find the Skytec gloves to big for my small hands , So just ordered 2 pairs of Showa 306's as they do a smaller size and are breathable also ordered some silk glove liners .

Bless...girly hands springs to mind but still I would not like to be on the receiving end of a knuckle sandwich unless you punch like a girl too ;D

Sorry mike I could not resist that one ;)

Dave g are these gloves water proof
-
they're already falling to bits. ;D
-
Dave g are these gloves water proof
To an extent, yes. They are made from (lined) rubber, but the back part of the gloves are made from fabric
They are great for wfp pole work..I just buy a couple of pairs at a time and have one pair in van and one pair airing out at home.

They are washable and quite tough as well when say hand balling crap out of gutters etc

used these plus another set of expensive Showa and find they dont keep hands warms at all. Last ones were for cold store working but i found once chill got on hands that was it.

Showa 306 got some last week, awesome gloves, perfect for the job, waterproof, seem hard wearing and are easy to take on and off when getting in and out the van . Gives good grip holding your pole but you need a cloth to reel your hose back
-
showa 377(worn most of the year round)waterproof
skytech argon(for cold weather)semi waterproof
glacier "perfect curve"(for really cold weather)waterproof
all these gloves are worn with nitrile glove liners underneath to prevent hands from smelling.the glaciers are the warmest for sub zero temperatures.
-
Showa 306's top gloves and breathable no stinky sweaty hands so thermal glove liners can be worn .

I rarely use gloves even on the coldest of cold days -2 I would use one or two pairs of latex gloves.
However! I am starting to get one Cold finger. It could be

So I have decided to wear gloves now to protect hands.
Smoking and hammer drills when I was younger was the cause I am guessing.

Update, this pair have just ripped on the thumb (after 1 month)maybe not as hard wearing as I thought , think I paid about 7 squid on eBay for 1 pair

You want these. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0090MTD2K?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
Just looking at the picture of the 306s, it was apparent that they wouldn't be hard wearing.

Ski gloves from tk max usually last 2 winters

After reading this post a while ago I bought myself a couple of pairs of skytech argon gloves. They are spot on for wfp work. I've got myself a cheap pair of ski gloves from sports direct for the really cold days also.
