Hi,

Every winter we have a debate about the right gloves,

i tried 5 or 6 different types last year, most were recommended on this site!..thanks for the input but none were really suitable.

Do we have any guys on here who have actually bought a good pair of gloves, that keep the hands warm, and the water out, and last longer than one week.?

Thanks

Gary.

hi gazza ive been using the same pair of seal skinz for the last 2 years and they are still like new , the only problem when seal skinzs get mentioned is theres that loads of diffrent types and some are total crap .
if you no where spring green nuserys is just outside wakefield theres a outdoor center there thats where i got mine from .
i allso use leather weightlifting fingerless gloves on the days when it aint too cold .

Sealskins winter gloves. They are called just that. They have got grippy fingers and palms, no small studs. Those are fantastic. Make sure you get the winter gloves, the other ones do not last long for the work we do.

It will depend Gazza if you are pole or ladder.

Just tried a pair of these on, I am wfp, and they seem a bit too bulky for when it comes to things like turnin tap on,  adjusting gooseneck etc.

are you wfp tim?

I find the best gloves are the cheap sets you get that are usually displayed on the counters are builders merchants. They are interwoven with some sort of rubber and generally retail about £1.00 a pair. Buy 5 pairs and dry one lot out when theyre wet and put on a dry pair to replace them.

They aren't too thick or bulky to hamper your work, keep your hands dry and warm. Buy one pair if you're afraid of wasting money, youve only wasted a quid then.

Screw sealskin, waste of money.

I'm the same every year cant seem to find a decent pair of gloves for WFP.

Are these the ones you mentioned daveshaw/Tim?

Yes I am, they feel a bit bulky to start with, but you get used to it. Try it on a cold day, hands are nice and warm, and dry. Not too clumsy.

i never wore gloves till going wfp tried a few different types but never liked working with gloves on so now i just put up with the cold, once the first hour is up your hands get warm anyway and with wfp it is very rare you can work much below freezing as the water freezes  where as when i used to work of ladders i often worked at -5 on some early mornings.

showa winter gloves for the cold , when it's cold and wet use thin gloves as a liner and some chemical handling gloves over them. there waterproof and hardwearing. £10 for all 3 pairs , so get 2 sets interchange them and they'll last for ages.
