gloves

[RobArb]

I'm after a decent pair of climbing gloves/general day-to-day tree work gloves that will last longer than the bog standard rubber palmed ones i use now that fall to pieces after 5 mins

 

Anyone got any suggestions of some decent ones from experience?

Try the new Kevlar gloves. (Blue rubber palm) I think they last longer

try arco they do some blue rubber palmed ones made by marigold they actually wear out eventually rather than rubber comes off or disintegrate

They really are the best value for money gloves

mine usually do several weeks if not longer but usually lost them by then:thumbup:

i'll look into it, cheers

Try the rock climbing web sites, some nice bits of kit,

I prefer bare hands myself

The blue rubber palmed jobs do last alot longer than the others whilst in day to day use.

i use the timberland pro's for ground stuff and the rubber gardening gloves for climbing. mr bullman said about a site where you can get them for less than 50p a pair, but me being me, i've forgotten. something with 505 in it.... steve?

Hi guys I have the perfect ones for you .

I use Timberland Pro serises gloves

 

I love them they are brill for climbing you can feel through them and

great for every thing else they dry quickly when wet and don't feel cloggy when wet like the normal chain saw gloves.

 

I get them on Ebay for 11.99 . enter Timberland gloves and they will come up you can also get them in Carrs in Bristol .

 

Now for the sizing a 9 is a large and I take these .so for you guys you would need to go for the size 10 and above as the large come out smaller then you would think .

 

hope this helps
