In Desperate times...My Silky saves the day!

[silky fox]

£3.99 from Homebase. felt like a very light and flexible second skin but other than dragging of feeding a chipper I can,t wear gloves.

Same here mate..I have never worn gloves when climbing. I use them when rigging, dragging and feeding chipper. But I only use leather gloves (beal). For best protection.

I am not a fan they make my hands all sweaty!! Up here in sunny cumbria trees are generally wet, so within 30 mins of working the gloves are the same. Nothing dries as quick as your skin!!

I don't have much feeling in my fingertips so gloves turns me into the most heavy handed ham fisted person..when climbing or using a saw I prefer using my bare hands...you need a hand up in sunny Cumbria at all this week?

[trooper harry]

Yes Orchard. . You are so right. Moss etc. However you can't beat it when decending when holding a prussik all the water running up your sleeve. Love it.

[silky fox]
