As arctic conditions are now upon us (well it feels like it!!!)

Anyone purchased any decent waterproof gloves for pressure washing in? I think i need to invest in a pair so any recomendations welcome.

no steve but will keep my eye out for some! how is work? you busy pressure washing?

[steve_doyle]

went a bit quiet last 2 weeks pal but 5 calls this week for decent size jobs so who knows. still not decided if its the weather, credit crunch or both but in general i would say its been alittle quieter than i would expect but still enough to keep on at it,
so its not all bad!

Used to use sealskinz when I was in the army, very good gloves. just do a search on google and you should find some. Most military surplus stores sell them.

poor seals!

[darrenbale]

Yeah but hey what you gonna do, gotta make gloves out of something.

Steve, did you get yourself a pair yet?
how you finding them?

[steve_doyle]

got them monday darren, £22 delivered off ebay.

Pleased so far, i was suprised they dont shed the water like a i thought they would. they kind of abdsorb it but there is a barrier somewhere which means you fingers stay dry.

hope they stand the test of time or it will be cotton gloves and latex ones ontop.

so far so good

had mine for about 8 years now and they're still as good as new, (except for a small tear on the wrist from a climbing accident.)

[steve_doyle]

[darrenbale]

oh yes, one of the best bits of kit i ever bought, that and my silverman.
