dead warm, waterproof all day long, and you still have great finger dexterity (as they're designed for climbing). 

if you employ, remember not to leave them in the van though.  i did and they;ve got wrecked!

[P.C.S.]

Last year I used Showa 377's over the top of the thin nitrile gloves, which worked pretty well... although I'm tempted to try the Showa 460's this winter.

£85?, you must be making too much money!

[Richard iSparkle]

we work all weather all throughout winter.  never missed a day due to weather.  for me there's nothing worse than feeling cold, cold hands, cold feet....  it really drains moral!  so for me it's worth spending that extra

[P.C.S.]

I reckon I spent way over £85 on my first 2 winters trying out loads of different gloves... not sure I could bring myself to spend £85 in 1 hit though!! 
They've gotta be the gold-plated Rolls Royce of gloves!! 

[H20cleaning]

Not gunna lie sainsburys rubber gloves with cotton insides (there blue) and about £4.00... Put them on the dash board to warm up on a morning and there fine!!!
Only last a couple of month or so like

[dannymack]

[dannymack]

There are 2 problems I have found with gloves like this.
1, I always end up getting the back of them wet!
2, The waterproof coating doesn't last, especially between thumb and forefinger.

I have tried lots of different kinds of gloves including unger neoprene (lovely and warm, but easy to tear), joka (not nearly as warm as I wanted or expected, but hard wearing), and sealskinz (expensive, and not waterproof for very long). Not sure what I will try next, possibly the showa 460 mentioned.

Don't really fancy smelly hands, or at least the wife wouldn't!. Will maybe try the joka's again, but with a glove liner for a bit extra warmth? .

[jimlaffo]

Cheers fellas.
I was thinking of going with the sealskinz ultra grip, and buy a thermal liner for those extra cold days. Aslong as they can withstand a few splashes from the squeegee and the damp from scrim then I'll be happy with that. Will take a look at the links you've posted now.

sealskinz are terrible gloves.  i've bought them and they are simply not waterproof.  a waste of money!

just my opinion of course, but they aren;t even cheap
