Great Gloves
« on: February 03, 2013, 01:59:26 pm »
Here is a link to gloves I have been using for the last 2 months. Very warm and keep your hands dry(wfp).

 http://mammothworkwear.com/dickies-workwear/dickies-gloves/dickies-argon-skytec-glove-en388-p2319.htm

I was fed up of using cheapies at a rate of about a pair a week. Well worth the bit of extra IMO.
p.s For those who know=
I am going to even use them when i drill my berlingos floor to fit its new 350ltr tank and cage  ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

They have worn well, they are just starting to wear thin in the area we all know goes first. I hasnt helped having all the slush and ice wearing away at that point. I think without the ice they would last 4 to 5 months. hope this helps.

Youngstown are great gloves. After a year, my first pair have been showing wear recently and finally the waterproof went on Friday so just ordered some more. They had got pricey but now a reasonable £25 again.

Which ones have you got, the general utility or the XT type? Also, are these winter or summer gloves? Finally i concede sealskinz aren't up to wfp work, great for when I was trad though.

The waterproof membrane has ben visible for a week or two with split seams from wear, but it split the other day. But I had over a year out of them.

What sealskinz were you wearing? We use the extreme cold weather gloves and these are brilliant for wfp. Warm, dry and you can still grip your pole!

whats the link to the gloves you wear Steve ? I have been looking for years to find a lagoons pair of gloves that stand up to 8hour use with a pole each day, yet to find ones that last longer than a month or so

I've got the same ones, I've found they wear out too quickly maybe I am gripping my pole too hard ;)

Youngstown winter gloves have split after a month here?
At £25+ a pair they will be the last too.

Hmmm. My first pair lasted a year. I just bought another pair and 2/3 weeks in they are fine.
