Waterproof Gloves

My poor little trotters have endured nearly 3 years of the finest weather North Yorkshire can throw at them, but I’ll admit defeat and say the time has come for some decent waterproof gloves. I usually use multiple pairs of cheap, thin gloves throughout the day that offer zero waterproofing. Most folks seems to say go for Sealskinz, but before I pull the trigger on a pair I’d better do my Arbtalk research.
 

Main things I need are….

 

A. Waterproof!

B. Finger dexterity isn’t compromised so I can still press the buttons without an Incredible Hulk style rage descending.

C. Ideally a bright colour so when I invariably drop them, I can see the dam things. Orange would be good!

 

 

I wear a pair of milking gloves(nitrile)when its wet, underneath whatever gloves i,m wearing at the time,at the moment wearing rigger gloves for hedgelaying with those underneath

Another recommendation for the two glove system from me too. I wear a pair of nitrile gloves underneath my normal work gloves when its cold and wet. Having dry hands helps to keep them warmer for longer.
Having said that, the Sealskins are very good, though a little on the bulky side. I sometimes use them for cycling, and they're just about dexterous enough to work the controls.

Trust me, nothing will beat a pair of neoprenes. If it’s for something like you are doing where they don’t need to be hard wearing I wouldn’t even bother looking at anything else

I've never tried neoprene gloves but I can vouch for neoprene wetsuits. A correctly fitting, (tight enough), one is amazingly warm even in cold water.

Used to wear them on a market stall when I was young. Never got cold in them ever

These are really good gloves - good fit, warm, don't loose their shape, but they dont have a waterproof cuff, so you will get soggy wrists and eventually gloves too as it goes up the cuff. Cheap enough to own a few sets though.

Another one for neoprene. Try the fishing shops and online.

I should have said, these are exclusively for operating the machine. There'll be no saw work or moving brash etc. The issue with the Logbullet is there isn't a cab as such so my hands are just out getting piss wet through all day. 

 

Sealskinz seem to be available in any colour you like, as long as it's black 😂🙈

Apart from the colour then, I reckon Sealskinz would be ideal.

Doh. Idiotic idea got deleted.

Anyone tried any of  theese  Ejendals  ones?

Used them in wet, cold Wales & have kept my hands dry & warm the last two winters. One pair have lasted me a winter for general work around the farm, operating machinery etc. First pair I wrecked by getting battery acid on them but current pair are still in good nick & worn everyday. Leather can get a bit soggy & slippery so need drying out away from direct heat to avoid leather cracking.
