I'm a 460 man used them all last year, but I will pop to arco and get some 377 to see what they are like

Arco delivery charges are a bit ambitious if you're looking at a pair or two.

Mine came from fleabay for a lower price and lower delivery charges.

Ant...as for comfortable boots...try muck boots...they are great...ok the sole is not all that but wear them down and have a proper hard sole to resole them and you have a great boot which is warm, water proof and very comfortable and they look good too.

Cheers

I second this, got some tay muck boots last week, bloody lovely, comfy, dry and toasty warm, oh and light too,

I've been using the Showa 377's this week. They are ok but not brilliant for cold weather - once temperatures got to zero my fingers were pretty painful. They get a bit clammy too when the temp creeps up.

Form B - I agree with you up to a point.  I think they are terrific until about 0 dec C.  Then they are just too cold, and I switch to Showa 460s.  Astoundingly warm and yet not too unwieldy.  Also, very easy to get on and off.

Bought a new pair of these for this year.

Then these over the top! Wear these all year round anyway.

Last year a lot of people on here were raving about "Joka Polar" gloves:

http://www.surecleansystems.com/proddetail.asp?prod=jo-polar

I was going to buy some for this winter... Does anyone have any positives or negatives about them?

Thanks,
Andy

Got  my joka polar gloves, they supposed to keep your hands warm and dry down to minus 44....hmmm

well my hands were wet and cold a couple of days ago, so i used them.. they were brilliant , very arm and totally dry.

they are a little cumbersome until you get used to them, but very warm.

I just use the yellow leather work gloves from toolstation. Cheap warm, hardwearing, OK they get wet and so just keep a couple of spare pairs in the van. Cheap as chips.

Yes, although they are the ones i got,and i would say they are a tiny bit big , fingers ends dont quite reach.....

but i dont know how much smaller the size ten is... so stuck with what i had ordered,

I do have short little fingers for a bloke though  ;D
