Waterproof gloves
« on: October 30, 2008, 05:13:27 pm »
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.

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.

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.)
