Chainsaw gloves

[desired_affect]

can any one recomend a pair of chainsaw gloves with a good grip? I'm currently using a pair of gloves with a rubber grip but no chainsaw protection as I like to feel I have a good grip on the saw unlike with the leather protective ones that seem to polish up on the parm and loose grip and no feeling through them.

thats what i think, pain in the arse while climbing, i have a pair of the timberland anti vibration ones for hedge cutting. they are excellent. dont try picking things up with them though because your fingers can hardly move.

a pair of rubber gloves for those crappy snowy days to start off with till the chillblains burn through and leave you with indestructible red fingies:ohmy:

Well climbing as well but I'm really looking for them for ground work at the moment.

i have never found a good pair with protection, they always go to muish, i bought a pair for a new start and they lasted 2 days, the stitching went on them. get some cheap lined rubber ones, and always make sure your chain break works and the chain catcher is ok. if you are taking a hand off the saw make sure its your right one. imo:001_smile:

I use the stihl leather chainsaw gloves but like said they dont stand for much especially in the rain, i shouldn't say this but mainly use the yellow workman gloves with the rubber webbing on them, much safer to use in all conditions now if they can bring out chainsaw version we would all be saved.

i had the timberland ones which were comfy and you could feel what you were doing, but they fell apart after about 6 months.
