Title: Warmest Waterproof Gloves Available
Post by: Tom White on October 12, 2016, 10:16:44 pm: Okay, it's coming up to that time of year and I'm looking for a Christmas present for Wor Lass.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v737/tosh0987/IMG_1020_zpszujahk53.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/tosh0987/media/IMG_1020_zpszujahk53.jpg.html)

I'm thinking of some extra toastie waterproof work gloves; she's only little and small dogs feel the cold the hardest.

So can anyone recommend the warmest gloves possible?

Thanks in advance.

I try however to avoid WFPing with gloves as much as possible since they can attract grit which gets onto & inside the poles. With bare hands you can feel the grit & make sure it doesn't get inside your poles.

these gloves are amazing... for ice climbing so really cosy, waterproof, and you've still got fine motor control

Been using these for years, great gloves.
