They are good at keeping your hands warm and that is about it.
Go for Yellowtown gloves.

Had the same jocka gloves for two years now,,, the fleece lining goes in the washer.... they are a bit bulky but keep hands warm and dry.

showa 377 gloves with nitrile glove liners i use all year round.totally waterproof and cheap(around £6 a pair).i buy the liners from gardiners at around £5 for a 100 pairs.

if its really cold then the glacier "perfect curve" gloves come out although it has to be below freezing before i wear them!! ;D ;D ;D

I bought my Joka Pola gloves last winter from Sure Clean Systems (http://www.surecleansystems.com/?product=joka-polar-gloves) - They are AWESOME! Wouldn't be without them!

£22.20 including VAT and delivery.

Thanks lads, Hmmm so much choice isnt there, heh. i like the look of those joka polar the best but are they 100% water proof for wfp work?

i knwo daz as always got good ideas and i was tempted to buy your glove set up, but i cant be doing with poutting liners and gloves on all the time as i do a lot of travelling between jobs you see!

now, youngtown gloves, whaich ones are wrm and 100% water proof if any?

Many thanks

George,

I would say the Joka gloves are 99% water proof, unless you get some dribbles of water running into the insides, that is very rare though.

Youngstown-s Waterproof Winter Plus...

Are these the ones to get in the youngtown range then the "joka polar" for below freezing conditions?

does that sound about right?

thanks
