Alex Gul Gloves

Alex do you have them in stock now?

Ordered from another source on Sunday before I knew you were stocking them, received an email today saying they are out of stock until end of next week  >:( took 4 days to tell me this.

If you have them in stock I'll cancel my original order and have some from you.

Thanks
Wayne

Hi Wayne,

They are selling very fast!

Which style (winter/summer) and which size (M, L, XL) do you want. If you let me know I can let you know whether we still have your size/style in stock.

thats the trouble with neoprene, unless you do boating or canoeing not many people realise untill they use the stuff that is isnt waterproof, its just keep you very warm with a sweaty, watery and smelly layer, Luke

The trouble with completely waterproof gloves is that they end up smelly, damp and sweaty inside after just a couple of hours of work.

I prefer breathable gloves, yes your hands can get damp in wet weather but at least they don't stink!!

The trouble with neoprene is that it does stink after 5 or 6 days use so they will need cleaning, but there advatage is flexibilty and grip, Luke

If you have a problem with smelly waterproof gloves, why not buy cheaper ones from say Strauss and either throw them away or wash and use daily.
I have purchased a selection of similar and change twice a day and simply wash at night in the washing machine.
If you need a little fragrance, baby powder is OK

Ey? Neoprene is supposed to let water through, it creates in insulating layer which keeps the hands warm.

Alex, how good are these for Traditional? Wringing out cloths and sorts. The new Unger gloves are falling apart after less then a week!!!!!

Good pair of Ski Gloves is what you need for WFP. They're designed to keep your hands warm and dry and for gripping poles!  Not as good for trad work as they are a bit bulky.

Little tip for those with Gull Gloves. Me being a bit of a girly liked my gloves to be toastie warm in the morning so used to put them on the rad to dry out and ready for next day.

Only had them a few weeks and they are all split and full of holes. They have split on most of the seams. So i presume you're not supposed to dry them like this but to let them dry naturally.
Any advice Alex?

Hey !! Speedliner where did u get them from, may have a spare £30 knocking about ;D
