Gloves
« on: March 09, 2013, 12:19:27 pm »
Been using showa 377 gloves, they are ok but not the easiest to put on and only last about a month.
Are there any other gloves out there that are good?
Anyone tried "can do gloves" from j racenstein?

Thanks

ive recently bought joka teddy lined gloves (see ebay) 23 quid.
impressed so far on whole - like most gloves dexterity impaired but beats having freezing hands.
still find tips of fingers get chilled tho when water / day cold.

cant detail in them when doing trad or couple up hose in them.

but pretty good for wfp. would buy again when worn out.

My showa 377 gloves usually last me around 3 months before they split(usually between thumb and forefinger).I wear nitrile glove liners underneath to stop my hands smelling.they do me fine.

For really freezing weather I use glacier perfect curve gloves again with liners underneath.they keep hands nice and warm and dry.
price higher/work harder!

377 gloves are terrible gloves with no padding or lining..
Try some Youngstown waterproof gloves there very good and fleece lined so no smelly hands ever!!

ben because if you dont wear gloves you end up with very dry cracked hands rougher than a bears a*se with little cuts all over them! ;D ;D ;D

my hands are nice and soft and just like an office guys!! ;D ;D

the pure water just dries my hands out and i end up with ground in black carbon all over them.

Does anyone use the sealskin gloves (about £23.00), they look great for when using a pole but not sure about when trading.

I don't wear gloves, but my hands are as soft as a newborn's derriere, thanks to good old Fairy. Not bad for a 50 year old traddy!

Rubbish, Don't bother - they don't keep your hands dry or warm waste of money

if you want warm dry hands in freezing weather then you cant go wrong with glacier perfect curve gloves from the windowclean centre with nitrile glove liners underneath.my hands are always nice and toasty with these on! ;) :) :)
