« on: January 11, 2011, 07:09:00 pm »
got to admit gardiners make the best poles but their gul gloves they sell are crap and expensive at £20 a pair.lasted 6 weeks before i had to chuck em.

ive got some glacier perfect curve gloves which are ok for when its really cold but i need some everyday gloves for poling.what do you guys use when poling?


regards

Try some of these, could be the answer only 12ish pound,skytech argon gloves,search google.

Using these at the moment seem pretty good,nice and comfyand look like they could be hardwearing, only time will tell how long they last

Get the ones Vince recommended a while ago from Arco. "Showa 377 foam coated nitrile" Good grip, washable, hard wearing and less than £5 a pair. Perfect for wfp.

 Daz, i searched for ages to find a decent glove, spent a shed load of money too, all were crap, Bought the showa , mines a 660 or something like that, cost under a fiver, very very pleased with them, been wearing them for 6 weeks now, no rips or tears, no wet hands, these gloves are awsome. Bought mine at cosco

Jocka best in the world , and warm... supposed to keep warm down to minus 44...doubt that ,,, but my hands were warm and dry throughout the big freeze.

take out the thick fleece liners and wash them too...

the outer skin of the glove are like tarmac... tough and strong...

at first theywere a bit cumbersome , now they are soft and perfect....and a right good grip.
