GOOD gloves?

[Mesterh]

Have a try of these ones.

They are very tough but do have a decent level of dexterity.(I say decent but you cant compare leather gloves with the thin climbing ones)

 

I suggest you get a tight fitting pair especially if climbing in them.

 

 

Just dont hit them with a chainsaw!

As been said you need different gloves for different applications. For climbing you want thin and snug fitting sticky gloves and ground work you want anything else depending on material. Welders gauntlets are the best for thorny stuff but a good thick pair of leather gloves will stop most thorns if you handle the branches with care. You will always get the odd 1 or 2 catching you anyway. Either that or you need hands like slim jim

Look like good gloves. How long do you normally get out of a pair?

Tbh I usually hate wearing gloves especially when climbing but these ones were fairly good. They got hammered as we were doing a lot of scrub clearance with plenty of thorny stuff plus wire,glass and other nasty stuff.

 

So about 2 weeks which considering the abuse they got was quite good.

Cheers! That's a fair bit longer than I normally get so will give them a try.

Gill pro sailing gloves are brilliant for climbing in! Absolutely loads of grip without the rope burns or blisters.

I use these, there's also a short fingerless version. http://www.ewetsuits.com/acatalog/long-full-fingered-finger-sailing-gloves.html

I use rigging gloves for chipping anything. There ok unless something hits the back as there no protection and thorns go straight through.

 

Of course you could always just man up and get on with it.

The sailing ones are spot on.

 

If you got a wilkinsons in your town, go down and find the garden gloves, they have a suede palm, velcro wrist at only £7, lightweight and do go the distance.

ok....cutter gloves...not good at all in my opinion....life threatening actually...the cuffs are flared and if chipping and a twig catches the cuff it will pull you in!!...i hate them...(imo)
