I've only ever seen them at WCW http://www.windowcleaningwarehouse.co.uk/wcw/ecommerce/index.php?file=product&idcate=72

Never used them before though. Any idea on how good they are? They do look better than the unger ones.

I had some last year from Millets £25 per pair.

Had a few pairs of them.  Went through them quite quick.

I don't rate them much.

I'm wfp and they wore through on the thumb and on the ends of the fingers.

They advertise on the packaging they are ideal for window cleaning but i don't think so.

I got a pair from Millets for £25 but to be honest I dont think they are that great. Im not sure if I just got a duff pair but they dont seem to be 100% waterproof but they do keep your hands warm even when they are wet.
other things I dont like about them is you need to take them off if you want to handle scrims or paper cos they make everything wet. Also fingers are very short.
but believe it or not, I would buy them again cos they are warm! (until something better comes on the market!)

I bought a pair a couple of weeks ago from Blacks, the outdoor specialist shop. They where £29.99 - 20%.

I have not used them yet so I can not comment on how good they are. I had a choice of two types, The ones that are last years glove often seen on the internet,they where £25.00, or the ones I bought which are this years glove which have been designed for use with mountain bikes. They have a waterproof but breathable liner inside, and the thumb and two forfingers have extra material over the finger ends. So they should have a longer lifespan then the cheaper ones plus they should keep your hands warmer on the really cold mornings as they are a Tad thicker.

I'm using Irwin Extreme condition gloves this year and think there great.

Your hands do get wet after a while but never cold.

Will definately be getting some more of these.

orange gloves partly dipped in plastic from B&Q. £3 per pair last 4-5 weeks. I rate them more highly than seal skinz. They wear out quick if your using wfp.
