my fingers were nearly dropping off last year... and i have had my years as a steelfixer working in frost so bad ...that the steel sticks to your hands....

but ice cold water on your hands takes some beating..... so gloves for me this year.  :-*

Sealskinz for me. Got my feet sorted (Muck Boot Co) but still get cold fingers. I reckon it's part of the job, just keep it manageable  :)

Glove Size Chart


Gloves


Size  XS  SM  MD  LG  XL  XXL
Inches   7"   8"   9"   10"   11"   12"
Centimeters 18cm 20cm 23cm 25cm 28cm 30.5cm
             
Hand measure should be taken around the fullest part of the hand not including the thumb. If right-handed, use right hand and vice versa.

put a tape measure around your knuckles, take it around the palm of your hand at the bottom of your fingers.... thats your size.

my problem, my hands are VERY sensitive to the cold, I mean they are very tough from when I was a waiter in school, I can hold VERY VERY hot things, but they hate the cold!! so I really need some warm gloves, i dont even find 40grams of Thinsulate any good!!!

just a bog standard pair of wooly gloves with a pair of marigolds over them.
can only wear them for an hour or so then your hands are toasty, and dry.
