Hot water running through the hose is the answer to cold fingers😉

[Bungle]

Like most here - ive had loads of gloves - Seal Skinz - thermal - you name it

Every pair gave me cold and frozen fingers. what I did discover was that if my fingers got cold ie - first job of the day without gloves
then warmed them up on the vans heater they then seemed to stay warm for an hour of so at a time

I wish I could warm my gloves up on the van heater 😥 mine has been blowing cold now for 12 months or more. I had it booked into a garage last winter. Long story short they said it was the matrix and it was a 10 hour job. They said that they'd had the dash out but couldn't get hold of a matrix. They phoned me next day to say they were putting it all back together and a matrix was on order. I didn't believe them so I checked my Dashcam when I got home and all they did was start it up and drive it round the block and left it there all day.  At 8:00 on the night they drove it into the garage for the night. That cost me 2 days off work. I've still got the video footage just in case I ever need to use it against the garage, not that I'll use them ever again. I didn't get charged for their 'work'. If I had I'd have been over the counter.

I bought a cheap plug in heater for the cab. I rest it on my lap and alternate which hand gets warmed up when I'm driving along.

Soon be Spring

Weirdly, when I take my gloves off to write a slip out my hands warm up when I put them back on.

I only ever need nitrile gloves in this cold weather due to warm hose and hot water through my brush jets...

I would hate to work in this weather with cold water!hose like wire and cold hands!

Rather you than me lads.....👎

To be fair that is true the pole hose is ridiculous in this weather you have bend it straight like a pipe cleaner

Shows 460s every time. Two pairs for a winter with toasty warm fingers. Difficult to use for the first two cleans of the winter then you get used to them. Made to work at -20. As mentioned above buy a big enough size. If not you crush the insulation and have cold fingers.

Dry them out overnight on radiators with a ball of foil in them to allow the moist air out.

Not cheap but I've never used anything else since I discovered them about 12 years ago.

The OP gloves are pretty much 406 copies @ £4 a pair. Got some lads trying them out just now.

So far so good.

460s not 406s.

I've tried the 460s (or similar) before, they were too bulky for me.

Those are the ones.

I agree, they feel bulky but as I've said, only for a short while till you're used to them. Then they are exactly the same as any other glove.

They're warm as toast; truly exceptional in that regard. They also pretty much fall off your hands when you need them off as they are quite a loose fit.

I buy two pairs (normally from eBay; if you can wait they come up at daft prices). One pair goes on in the morning until the insides get damp. Then onto the van vent while I wear the other pair. End of the day, onto a radiator held open with either a ball of foil or a tin can with both ends cut off.

I understand they aren't perfect but I never have cold hands in winter.

Good shout Vin , I ordered a pair and they came yesterday as I dread winter every year. Anything below 5° and I get excruciating pain in my fingers , tried all sorts and bought some over mittens too which did actually work but difficult to grab the hose etc. these showa 460’s  - wow - I wear a pair of nitrile gloves underneath and the heat on my hands is amazing, easy to work with and easy to take off . Thank you 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

Yer but, you wear shorts all year round 😳

No longer. Hit 60 last year and about the same time the cold started biting so it's long trousers for the middle three months of winter now.

Glad to help. They're amazing gloves.

Top tip, set up a search alert for them on eBay and keep an eye on the alerts when they come in in warmer weather. I bought ten pairs for £40 last spring.

I finally cracked the glove thing. (Back in the past before I was a teacher I tried everything). I bought some bright blue thick rubber gloves like I'm going to work with toxic waste. They're a size too large so there's plenty of air in them. They have a slight fabric lining, but basically just rubber.

They stop the wind - and water and the air warms up. I just tried them on a whim.

Thought id give these ago, bit more expensive but claim to be 100% waterproof and available in xl (10). let you know how i get on with them.

Wore them everyday since posting but now have a hole in the usual place (between thumb and finger) so haven't lasted any longer than sky argon which are much cheaper, so it's a no from me.

You need to wear nitrile gloves underneath to stop it....

I just wear nitrile gloves (and no other gloves)and run my hand under my jets if they get cold
