griping in the wet...

[vduben]

i took a large stem out of a cedar today in the pooring rain, i was struggling to grip my blaze as it was wet and slightly green, is there any gloves that grip even in the wet?

it was slightly embarrasing fumbing around not being able to grip!!

i used a set of orange rubber gripper gloves but was still crap!!

I found my 'perfect fit' gloves from screwfix grip extremely well, and keep on gripping in the wet. Think theyre nitrile palms over cotton or cotton mix gloves

 

if all else fails, the black ones!

I book three days a week in, if it rains I then have two days in the week to move jobs into. If it doesn't rain I can fit more work in thursday/friday.

 

It's a system that works a treat .

 

Oh! ...and send the missus out to work helps too

Those cotton dipped in rubber are good, and grip well, but i always find they pinch in the friction hitch.

Treeworker sells the treeclimber dark gloves. Burn out too quick in the dry but there performance is unrivaled i find in the wet
