Timberland ProTimber Gloves??

[Sam Thompson]

Has anyone any experience of the above?

 

 

Sick and tired of the standard Husky/Stihl orange and white leather that rip, are cold, uncomfortable etc. These looked like a good alternative if a little more expensive, but if they last twice as long/are twice as good, then who cares?

 

 

Oh, and wheres the cheapest place? Clark forest have them for £32.

they are much more comfortable than the stihl or husky although when they get wet they can get quite stiff once they've dried out. Jonesie also stocks them at F R Jones and Son.

fair point mate

if they are anything to go by,i have a pair without the chainsaw protection.

i dont think very much of them,they are not a very good fit,when i buy any gloves,its always size large,these are large and are too big,

when i was subbing last winter,hedge laying,i was buying oregon chainsaw gloves,they were very comfy,an excellent fit and cheap on e-bay,you can also get a pair with protection in both hands

the company i subbed for had these [timberland gloves with protection] in the back of the landy,no one wore them

to be honest sam,dont waste your money

i must also agree with penfold

in my previous post,about the oregon gloves,like i said,they are comfy,a good fit and cheap to buy,but they also go stiff when you dry them,i think most chainsaw gloves do.

also when they get wet,they are well slippery:thumbdown:

Thanks lads, I think Ill skirt them for the time being:thumbup1:

 

I think the new plan will a new pair of the cheapest type (orange backed bad boys) and use the two pairs, rotating half way through the day.

They all are

 

When not at college I use these; Cold Star Latex Hi-Visibility Gloves - B-Click 2000 Ace Safetywear

 

 

I have about 4 pairs and just change them when wet. So much better grip too.

 

 

Wish the H&S would come out with a straight answer yay or nay
