they have the same style on B&Q

the only downside is the backs of the gloves are not coated, so they will get wet fairly quick ( as you rightly said )

how come they only ever sell most gloves for the big people and not for little hobbits like myself with small hands

I hardly ever bother with gloves, but if its a really cold day I may wear the latex coated cotton ones, I get them for a quid from my local pound shop. I have a couple of pairs on the dash so if a pair gets too wet I swap.
Never really seen the point in huge great thick ones, My hands get very cold for about 30 mins then I get used to it and dont notice.

I suggested that about, oh, 18 months ago, but these gloves posts they come and go, well, it's your loss boys  ;)

Sealskin, pah!

I sometimes use those gloves in the Summer, not to keep my hands warm, just to protect them from little bits of glass on my hose or from dog poo.  They're pretty good, and as you say; cheap. 

Welcome back tosh, 15 posts already  ;D

These are the ones I've been using for years. Always have half a dozen pairs on the go, I leave them on top of the dash with the demister on to dry them.
Like Tosh I wear gloves all year round.
