work gloves

[Lancstree]

I rub surgical spirits on my hands most nights . It has stopped them cracking . Mind you they aint half rough . I cant climb with gloves on .But on the ground I have found that the heavy duty marigold type with felt lining quite good . Only had the two tone blue ones aint wearing no pink stuff .lol

 

Those two tone marigolds are ace. I sometimes wear a thin pair of fleece liner gloves on the inside for extra comfort and they last for ages. Additionally you can grip pretty well in them in all weather and they will keep your hands warm until the sweat cools them down too much. They also go over your sleeves so the slime doesn't go down the sleeves as much.

These look good but a bit dear. I've had some good sealskins and lost them. I don't like the skin tight ones as they aren't that waterproof and not too warm either

i used to take my mums marigolds for sledging they were great, i will try the cooler option first then maybe come back to the under the sink specials lol cheers

Every winter I try out new gloves because I get painfully cold hands. I'm sure its to do with my circulation because sometimes I feel pins and needles then suddenly my hands come back to life on their own accord as though something was blocking the blood flow. I remember one job when I was setting up a line in the tree and as soon as I started climbing I couldn't feel the rope so I came down, went into the van and put them over the heaters for 5 mins and they felt brilliant. I then went back up the tree and climbed no problem. Sometimes I climb without gloves even though my hands are cold then when I put gloves on later they become warm very fast.

 

Does anyone know of some mitts that peel back to expose your fingers when you need a little dexterity?

[Stephen Blair]

i bought a pair of GILL gloves today from the marina, the tips ofthe thumb and forefinger are missing, i thought this was exremely pointless but once i got wearing them this was great for answering the phone and getting stuff out my pocket, they were £15 pounds, i got 25% off, so far i am very impressed but i look forward to my seal skins from clarks next week.

Was it these Gill Championship ones you got Stevie? Guys are really happy with these and they are lasting for a good long time.......
