which gloves
« on: December 02, 2012, 11:11:01 am »
Just spent £40 on a pair of sealskin gloves but even then my hand were screaming cold, just wondered what others have found --my mate uses some from kingstown glove company and says theyr'e the best he's had in 25  Yorkshire winters. Any other recommendations??

This is all I use: http://www.tesco.com/groceries/Product/Details/?id=256727157

When they split throw them away and use another pair, although one pair usually lasts me most of the winter.

If it's really cold, wear a cheap pair of gloves underneath. You rarely need both, though.
I used to buy the rubber ones in L and XL, with the XL for use with another pair. I found it hard to get hold of the XL, recently, though.
Best thing is, Hammy, you've lost nowt if you don't like them.

I use woollen fingerless gloves :-)
Yes they get wet but  once body warms them up
They keep me warm . I've tried all sorts or expensive
Seal skins etc but always end up wearing woollen gloves.

The main thing I require from gloves in winter is that they are 100% waterproof.
If my hands get wet then they will soon feel the cold.
Once I get working I find my hands stay warm as long as they stay dry.
I have used thicker bulky gloves in the past and they actually made my fingers colder.

Which sealskinz did you buy?  We use the extreme cold weather gloves.  They only last a season, but are warm as toast.
