how much climbing do you get out of a pair of those sealskins

Try Youngstown winter waterproof gloves, just under £20, 3 pairs sees me through a winter so don't mind paying the money

I just bought a box of these today:[ame=http://www.amazon.co.uk/Contour-Avenger-Specialist-Precision-Gloves/dp/B003DBSURS]5 x Pairs of Contour Avenger Specialist Precision Work Gloves Size: S/M: Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools[/ame] they're really grippy and seem to be a little more sturdy than most cheap gloves, they sell for £14.08 in costco for a box of 10, I'll let you know how they get on after climbing tomorrow.

its hard to say man a pair lasts me ages but i dont use them every time to climb, but i find them hard wearing and use them alot when fencing etc. i suffer from a bit of white finger so they keep my hands nice and warm.

I use towa activegrip. Nice and thin. £4 a pair and I find the grip does last longer than cheapie builders gloves. But if you sweat it smells pretty quick. Doing groundwork lifting and dragging brash they don't last long but are ok.

 

I use cheap leather gloves for groundwork. Good for protection against thorns and are fairly warm. Not waterproof though!

you could try these, i havent tried them, but Mark Bolam has.

they are well good! lasted longer than i thought they would, not to think either, well worth trying

if you get sealskinz dont bother with the kevlar "tough" ones, they last less than the grippy ones, fit worse, are more expensive and are less warm. still annoyed i got conned into buying a pair!

I use the ones with the grippy rubber palm and woolly back. Normally £1.20 but arco had a deal on for 30p so cleared them out. I keep loads about after an hour or two dry them in the cab grab some more. We do alot of processing and this is very hard on gloves even the best quality will only last a few days.

I keep a small arsenal of gloves in my work bag, ranging from a few pairs of cheapy brickie's gloves, a couple of pairs of green Tegeras and a pair of Sealskinz for when the poo really hits the fan. A cheap but effective tactic is quantity, not quality. If you've got a nice warm place near a chipper exhaust to dry gloves out, just cycle a few pairs of cheap gloves in and out on 'orrible days.
