So your saying we need to harden up, and stop being softies? 

I don't know about you, but when I'm 60 I still want to have reasonably healthy looking hands, and somehow I don't see that working with hardening up your hands.

btw, you can go past the pain treshold, but then when they get warm again, all of the sudden you start noticing the cracks, not pleasant, you can't really stop your hands from getting dehydrated unless you properly protect them.

Next thing you say is that hand cream is for women only.

The Unger neoprenes are reasonably good.

The ergotech Unger's are pretty terrible, they didn't last long at all. I always wring out the applicator between thumb and forefinger, the gloves did not like that, they were ruined two days later! The original Ungers last longer, for a winter or so.

we can all have harden hands,but when realing in your hose throw dog mess and pi..s.bo you realy want that allover your hands,after 20 years you still carnt stop the cracks in fingers,and it wont stop the cold.the unger ones one hole in then water gets through no good

I always use a cloth soaked in anti bacterial spray when reeling my hose in.

Yea, agreed, one hole and your done, but they seem quite comfy those Ungers, never tried any others tho, maybe they are more durable.

These are the ones I use all year round,

I buy 10 pairs at a time, they are waterproof with a flock lining and are Ok for trad or WFP.
I always have at least 3 pairs on the go, if you leave them on your van dash board, the windscreen demister warms them up nicely. At under £3 a pair they won't break the bank.

Thanks for the link dai for that price worth a try.
I have just ordered 4 pairs to try them out.

[geefree]

really pleased with them today... thanks for help with link....

they were great to wear , and warm too, time will tell as it gets colder..

[geefree]

maybe working on doors stood outside ..not using your hands etc, would not help....  bit time will tell, will wait for colder weather before saying they warm i suppose 

[JSMC]
