Chainsaw Gloves

[R Mac]

I found a pair of Cutter gloves in a kit bag, the plain white/grey type, must have bought them ages ago and they are a good fit for me, the fingers are long enough.

 

To be honest reading through previous threads I'm surprised that so few wear actual 'chainsaw' gloves although I'm not sure why I'm surprised as I knew that they weren't a legal requirement, I guess I just wore them because I had them and wasn't influenced by anyone else who had decided against them. I don't wear them when climbing although I still wear gloves.

 

I'm so used to them now that I generally don't need to remove them but handling timber or working with winches and associated kit shreds them especially if they're wet (which they usually are in the UK)

 

I might just start wearing regular gloves that are either cheaper/more durable/better fitting.

 

I found the Wells Lamont leather work gloves to be fairly durable and they're reasonable at around £8

The Cutter Pro ones are synthetic rather than leather, and hence last much, much longer in the wet...

They're Amara aren't they? like most sailing gloves.

You've got me on that one! But they do feel similar.
