I found this morning that my hands warmed up pretty quick, by the time I'd done the first couple of windows I was fine, but a pair of gloves that I can use when working trad would be nice ;)

Black heavy duty rubber gloves. Pair of gloves underneath if really cold.

i just took a set of seal skinz winter gloves back. hands were soaking in them!

tried re-waterproofing them with spray, but no good. was gutted! at £30 a pair, you expect them to do the job and be waterproof as they claim.

I have heard many complaints about them leaking after a short time. The very reason I have not bought any.

there has to be something out there other than rubberised gloves.

i bought a pair of karrimor "waterproof" gloves from sports world last week, only 6 quid, get a bit wet by about half way through the day, so going to get another pair for the second half!

I've found these really good for wfp, toastie warm this morning whilst water was freezing on custies steps. Not completely waterproof but they have excellent grip and are nice and thin so you can feel the clamps and hose tap and still drive the van with them on. £1.25 a pair roughly.

I have heard of an exercise the army do(not sure which army....possibly the salvation one  :P) But apparently over a period of time you condition your hands to the cold putting them in cold water for set periods of time,I am sure if you google it there will be some info,
