i know a lot on this site use seal skinz and think they are good but i tried them last year and would not recomend them having said that i havnt found a pair of gloves that i do like and prefer just to put up with cold hands which you soon get used to.

I use them and still have last years. They are excellent!

I tried sealskin last winter, got them a good £10 cheaper than the shops from an equestrian store on e bay
They were great with the added bonus of keeping your hands dry even if you emmersed them in water.
But they did'nt last too long before they begun splitting around the thumb joints.

Last year i was using Sealskin and thought they were great. BUT the only downside i found about them were they aren't hardwearing enough.
I went through 4 pairs last winter and at £25 a pair it was a bit expensive.

I bought a couple of pairs of Sealskinz gloves for window cleaning, as they're made from "porelle" and are waterproof.
www.sealskinz.com
Though they are warm, they did not prove to be waterproof for very long. I used them for the 2nd time today and they leaked.
At £20 a pair I am most unimpressed. Especially as they say "for window cleaning" on the packet.
Anyone else had this trouble?

I have killed unger neoprene gloves in 6 days and sealskins in aprox 3 weeks. I use blue builders rubber gloves from homebuild at £2.37 inc vat they last aprox 8 weeks but a lot cheaper than the other two.

using unger on trad work is a little bit of a nightmare, to bulky, you habds get cold whering them also. (way I found to stop getting cold hands was to wet hands first, have not tried the seal skins as yet but will have a go when it gets cold, I still have the unger ones as I stopped wearing them after a couple of weeks as i just put up with cold hands was quicker. On wfp I guess it does not matter to much, it is the cold hands inside the gloves that bugs me a little as i thought gloves are meant to keep your hands warm. ::)

There have been a few cold mornings already and the water runs down the pole, so my top tip is this. Stand further away giving the pole a less steep angle and reducing or stopping the water going onto your hand.
Plastic builders gloves are good with magic gloves as liners. More that one pair are needed for when they get wet.

Great gloves! Get a pair of glove liners for really cold weather though!
