Forget neoprene gloves. They're full of holes quicker than a call girls tights. I use sealskinz gloves. They are waterproof, breathable and hardwearing. They've never seen a seal in their life though. So strange name. Thay do socks also, which are great if you tend to get wet feet at all. Couldn't recommend them enough!

I was looking at Sealskinz (as in my first post) but general view doing a search on this forum was that they DON'T last

How long have you been using yours?

I bought two pairs and used them all last winter. They're as good as new! Whoever said they don't last must have them confused with a neoprene type glove. I got mine from http://www.windowcleaningwarehouse.co.uk/shop/products/workwear.html

if they last 5 months I think that it would be money well spent as it is not expensive IMO and how often do we wear gloves anyway.

I also found these aswell on there:

thats a great idea, I am going to order some as I hate getting cold feet hands are used to it, but me feet are another kettle of fish (I used to put plastic bags inside my socks with a little water in when my feet got to cold)

These gloves are good providing there being used for WFP use,using them for trad cleaning is a no no.Regardless of them being or saying that there waterproof they don`t keep your hands dry when cleaning trad way.

Just a quick search gave these posts, ok also found lots of positives but lots saying they dont last

I tried sealskin last winter, got them a good £10 cheaper than the shops from an equestrian store on e bay
They were great with the added bonus of keeping your hands dry even if you emmersed them in water.
But they did'nt last too long before they begun splitting around the thumb joints.

Last year i was using Sealskin and thought they were great. BUT the only downside i found about them were they aren't hardwearing enough.
I went through 4 pairs last winter and at £25 a pair it was a bit expensive.

I bought a couple of pairs of Sealskinz gloves for window cleaning, as they're made from "porelle" and are waterproof.
www.sealskinz.com
Though they are warm, they did not prove to be waterproof for very long.  I used them for the 2nd time today and they leaked.
At £20 a pair I am most unimpressed.  Especially as they say "for window cleaning" on the packet.
Anyone else had this trouble?

I have killed unger neoprene gloves in 6 days and sealskins in aprox 3 weeks. I use blue builders rubber gloves from homebuild at £2.37 inc vat they last aprox 8 weeks but a lot cheaper than the other two.
