I use them they keep your hands dry but not warm
Feen If you do get them get a larger pair and wear some thin gloves under them.

Dont forget you can get a thermal glove layer to go inside the winter glove should you need it.
Personally ive gone for the Glacier Perfect Curve Gloves. The fingers are actually moulded and the seems are on the inside - better dexterity if you ask me. Ive tried sealskins, and i found them to be cumbersome, and not as waterproof as they say they are.
No doubt the Glacier Perfect Curve Gloves are waterproof and will be easier to work with, but only time will tell if they are up to keeping my hands nice and toasty :P

Im sure you may be able to find them cheaper elsewhere, but as i was making an order at the time i got them there.

ive had a pair of glacier gloves for the last 2 winters and thay are waterproof and good for trad as they fit nicely, but dont keep your hands that warm, so what i do is when you are driving between jobs i put them on the windscreen blower and get them nice and warm before you start.
ive just brought a pair of waterproof seal skinz mountain bike gloves with gel palms, from millets, £29.99 a pair though, but they feel warmer than the glacier gloves. i will only be using these for wfp, so hopefully they will be ok.
-
thanks mate.

I had some waterproof mountain biking gloves a few winters ago, they were the mutts nutts. Kept my fingers warm, waterproof, and great for dexterity (even when it comes to getting change for customers).
They looked very similar to the ones just posted ^^^ The only problem was they tended to stink abit after using them for a few weeks.
Thats why ive gone for the Glacier Perfect Curve Gloves. If i need it i will get some inner or outer thermal layer, but i'll see how it goes first. Living down south its not as cold as it get up north, so i might be ok with them.
I actually remember my fist winter without any gloves, they get wet, they got cold, they went numb.. then once they started to warm back up - THE PAIN!! - I was almost crying :'(
-
the glacier gloves stink really bad as well im afraid. :'( :'(

Wait till december, january time then you will know what cold fingers are.

Thoses sealskinz in the pics above are rubbish your hands WILL get wet,you need the new ones they do now that are like ski type gloves there completley waterproof.
-
cheers for that link trike, the ones I have arent that good, so I've book marked them, they seem well suited for the job.
I have felt it getting a bit colder in the mornings aswell, nice that halloween the night that everyone becomes gools and goblins marks that begining of the dark nights.

The felty palm bits on those gloves get soaked and wet your hands,don`t buy them there a waste of money for window cleaning.
