I've yet to find good warm waterproof gloves with decent grip for wfp. So you recommend the polar eh?
Where is cheapest to buy from?

Ive just looked at joka gloves website and there is about 6 or 7 different styles, what type did you go for?

Post by: RO-Sheen on December 15, 2009, 11:10:59 pm
I've just ordered the polar ones from the E-bay link. £18.11 +£2 delivery.

the polar definately look the best as they have a detachable warm lining inside. Will have to see though....
My hands were so cold today. They got so cold that I couldnt feel the cold but my hands were useless. When I tried to write my hands couldnt grip the pen haha

Tried a pair of these polar gloves yesterday when I was up with Arthur at Sureclean in omagh, they don't look like much but they are soo warm, I don't actually use gloves but if it gets much colder here in the north of Ireland then I very well may purchase a pair!! The inner layer (as a few have said) is a furry material which can be pulled out to wash if they become sweaty and the outer layer was described to me as basically the same stuff as protekacoat we use in vans! Unbelievable grip on the pole too, The two distributers for the gloves are Sureclean in omagh in Ireland and omnipole over in England, so don't think you can buy directly from joka themselves!! They seem pretty good, I'm sure we'l no more after a few months!!

Yeah that's what I meant you can buy them online from omnipole or sureclean! But you can't buy them directly of joka themselves.

update on my joka gloves ,

started the first house this morning got the gloves on ready to go lifted my pole which now felt the thickness of a beer can and struggled to plug the pole into the reel, that was enough reached for my old gloves which were cold and damp and continued to work having it in my head to send the new ones back .
half way across the front of the large bungalow i was doing my hands began to freeze, this was one of the coldest days we have had hear so far so went back to the car and grabbed the joka gloves to try again with them and it was only then i appreciated how warm they are my hands where roasting the rest of the day although they are a bulky fit they definitly keep your hands warm and dry
Title: Re: JOKA GLOVES - WET!!!!!!
Post by: concept on December 17, 2009, 04:28:23 pm
the inner lining flattens after a day or two's use, so they feel less bulky.

what i am finding is condensation inside the waterprood glove as they heat up, so i am going to buy another set of inner linings to swap during the day.

For those who have e polas remove the inner pola when not using because they will over heat and start to rot.

I have put the outer and inner in the washing machine and they wash up great.
The inner absorbs  the sweat and grime from hands so probably needs washing about once a week.
I am going to buy spare liners so I can change them if they become to sweaty.
So happy with my warm hands.

eventually bought a pair from authur at sureclean, just lives up the road from me so popped up and got them, didnt think i would need them because i never use gloves but it just got too cold this last few weeks. on the gloves themselves, their great (in a tony the tiger voice) they really do keep your hands warm, i have used them everytime ive left the house this past few weeks!! they are a bit bulky but arthur reckons when the innerlining is washed it becomes less bulky, which i will soon see as ive just put them in the wash. i dont think i could work in these temps without the gloves!!
