I've used those sealskin gloves in the past they go a bit smelly as well.
I don't think they're tough enough for manual work.
In my experience you're better off without gloves.

If you stop trying to keep your hands warm after about ten minutes of going numb and hurting like hell they go hot and your hands stay warm all day.


It's called Hunters reflex worth a google. Very interesting

Some people dip their hands in cold water at the start of the day.

Gloves are for wimps.  ;D

tried all the gloves.

Not really been wearing this winter not that cold where i am until last week and now snow :'(

Last week went in morrisons and got a pair of industrial rubber gloves; had cheap pair of tesco's gloves material; underneath 100% water proof total cost £7.

Warm enough and 100% dry hands :D
