There not to big in the flesh,there the perfect glove don`t waste your time on others.Out of all the sealskinz range and other brands these win hands down for warmth and being waterproof.

Me too, very tempted, mind you I don't have any gloves at the moment apart from some trad Unger gloves, haven't had to use gloves yet, but I think the Ungers would fall apart.

£25 is not too bad if they last long, warm and waterproof, that's pretty good. :)

Showa insulated.

I bought 2 pairs a few weeks ago (I use wfp) and have tried them on cold early morning starts. They are the best gloves I have tried so far. I have tried Unger, neoprene fishing gloves, skiing gloves and Sealskins mits. If you put damp hands into them, or any other gloves, you start to feel the cold, so buy a couple of pairs.

I found these to be the cheapest H ttps://www.hygienesuppliesdirect.com/products/prod120410.

I use a pair of gortex gloves which are lined. A little bulky but strong and defo water proof.

As I used to do a lot of mountaineering so thought I would dig them out for a try.

Worked well last winter....and warm

Depends on what you use them for, traditional they are good yes (not the new one, but the old neoprene one) if you use them for wfp, I don't think they would last a day. :)

i have used yes the old neoprene for trad and wfp many times and they are good, your hands get so warm you need to take them off after an hour, granted its not so cold in this country that you need them regularly!!

Great, I do have a pair of those actually, I should try them out for wfp when it gets cold. :)

Yea, your hands get VERY hot actually, when I was trad, I did have to take them off a couple of times, very weird sensation.

Its true what others have said about allowing your hands to harden to the conditions.

Ive worked outside all my life, including farming in Denmark, where it went as low as -28°C. Now Im not saying I worked out in that but when temps get that cold you do at some time work out in temps much lower than you ever going to experience here.

If it is cold I go through what I call the burn, where your hands become painfully painfully cold, almost like SOmeone is hitting them with a hammer, then afterwards carrying an aluminium ladder with wet hands seems all of a sudden like a holiday.

If you molly-coddle your hands how are they going to get used to being wet and working in cold conditions?
