Chainsaw gloves

[Ian Clarke]

I buy the cheap ones in packs of 12 they do enough to keep my hands ok but on rainy days I can change them throughout the day. I've never found the expensive ones last long enough to justify the cost. But there are a lot of gloves I haven't tried.

Try the Showa, I think they do justify the extra cost but still not top price.

What ones do you go for? Id be interested in waterproof ones for days it's pissing down. Had it before when my hands were all wrinkled up and they got smashed to hell as they were all soft

Which ever ones I can find for about £10 for a pack of 12 and then they last 3/4 months. I usually go for the thin palm ones as they are not bulky for saws and climbing. If you shred them on a fast rig or something it's not a £20+ pair of gloves. 

 

Usually find eBay has reasonable ones.

Showa 310 in black. I am a size 10 normally but I buy 9 so they are nice and sung, hate a bulge of spare material across the palm.

At £3 a pair I reckon they last a lot more than 3 times as long as the £1 a pair gloves. Usually go through the washing machine after a rain day else they stink (that might be just me).

Showa did a waterproof gardening glove which are good in the wet but a bit bulky, I wouldn't climb with them but decent on the ground if not using lowering ropes.

 

I always wear those fingerless weight lifting gloves to climb now, just enough glove for gripping rope but fingers free for dexterity

None.
You don’t need them.
 
Possibly the most bullshit thing ever invented.

I understand why you say that. I’ve just replaced a pair because the finger pads had worn through and I thought shall I just go for general gloves. The only bits I can ever see injuring are my shins while limbing but these stats say otherwise

That looks like US statistics. Top handle saws popular for firewood, one handing causes hand injury to other hand.

To me seems difficult to draw the conclusion that chainsaw gloves would have made a difference.
