My sealskins lasted one winter so can't really grumble. I'm using a pair of Unger rubber gloves now which are good so far. Keeps my hands warm and dry.

Nothing like sealskins.. they (glacier gloves) are FAR superior - had mine for over 2 years now..

sealskins are rubbish - let in the water and keep your hands cold and damp.

i have been winter surfing with these gloves, and have never had cold hands :o

i find them great for work ,when that east wind blows, they are ideal 8)

for me anyway, the gul ones are excellent as well

Depends which ones you get. Just had another lovely warm day with the Sealskinz wintergloves. Including doing some trad. No wet hands, and don't wear either.

You guys are getting the wrong ones.

I used one type of them last year and another type of sealskinz the winter before.

They are absolutely fantastic for about 4 to 6 weeks and then they fall to bits. If you can afford £50 each winter for 2 pairs,  then I heartily recommend them. 

Myself I have changed to another make which cost £16 and seem much longer lasting. but only just into winter so far.

Wouldn't go with sealskinz again myself. They left my hands damp and cold too.

Oh and they snaggged real easy. I fancy trying the kevlar ones next time, but have gone for a rubber pair with some thinsulate inside that this time.
