Showa 377. Brilliant, and cheap.

I used Joka Polar gloves last year, and they are very warm, and waterproof, but bulky.

The Showas are perfect, good grip, thin enough to retain feel, washable, warm even in below zero temps.

I've got the showas but find they are no better than marrigolds when the temperature drops and the wind blows. They have been fine today at +2

We are been using Showa 490 (and 460) for two years. I have tried most other types but they can't beat the Showa. They cost about £10+vat.

We have 3 pairs each- one drying, after being washed, another one drying and a pair to wear. They show very little signs of use and I expect them to last quite a few years.

after reading about them on here,ive bought a pair of cowhide gloves from Toolstation .these have elastic wrists and a cloth liner. this is for trad work and ive roughened the leather on the fingertips so it grips my ladder better.  theyre well made ,a bit over 4quid a pair

I use these ...

I get the 'Large size'  and underneath i have thin cotton glove with latex glove over - it gives 3 layers - and are waterproof - so far i haven't suffered with the cold.

last year had diving gloves (25.00 quid) too restrictive and bulky then only lasted 6 weeks before falling apart and
still got cold hands.
