I'm a Joka Polar man myself too, they are easy on and off, very warm, completly waterproof and great for rubbing stubborn stains off windows! Just don't itch your nose with them!! Ouch.

this is my top tip them plastic docs gloves use them under a thin pair of rubber backed
gloves; or them orange ones that builders use ;)
cheap as chips

Tried that these are better:

Try them.

You will not regret it.

i dont see why everyone are such haters of sealskinz. I do think they take a while to warm up once you put your hands in them, but i have found them decent enough. Maybe they are a bit pricey.

No commission but, I have been cleaning windows for 10 years every winter I would come home fingers numb throw out the useless new gloves I had tried that day. Then one of my friends who works on the oil rigs nicked me a set of these:

I have never even looked at any others.

These work.

or 1 pair of the Joka Gloves -40  --- 21 quid delivered


now my concern on the Joka is they will get too warm ( does the lining fur bit come out ? ? ? ?)

Are you trad or WFP Formb.

All the gloves I've used split on the index finger on the right hand. This is the finger I use for flicking the levers on the pole. Normally last about a week then split and start to leak.

Worth a try for £4.95
