winter gloves

[Gareth J]

I like using fleece lined leather gloves in this weather. The local shop sells these (although a bit cheaper)

I'm not recommending them over any other type of glove but here's an overview:
-Quite warm, no extreme/technical insulation but quite good
-fairly waterproof
-no good for fiddly bits but very quick to slip on/off to pick up that runaway M6 nut.
-not that hard wearing. Concrete/rusty/sharp steel kills them.
-bed in to fit the shape of your hands so quite comfy.

Alternatively, I used to go through the orange, rubber fingered builders gloves. Not as nice/warm but cheap enough to be disposable.

i think a heated tool box would be better, then all my spanners wont fell like picking up icicles.

Got these in the mail yesterday. the fingers are slightly too short for me, but thats my own fault. Pleased with them. Last night wasnt cold, and they boosted my whole body temerature to the point where i was in a t-shirt outside at 11 o clock.

Nice being able to handle wet things without issue.

They have a waterproof outer skin and then a fleece layer under that. Liking them so far, interested to see how they cope with tears, dirt, sparks etc.

They look pretty good, I've just ordered a pair for work. The ones that come from stores are nice and warm but not completely waterproof so once they're wet they are wet for the day! plus it's one size fits all, so with my not massive hands there's plenty f extra finger space.

Hope they work out for you mpats. Its supposed to be cold tonight, -3 tomo, so will get to see how good they are I guess.

Inside of glove. I have to store them in the house becuse they retain the moisture from your body and overnight get very damp and cold if left outside in the shed.

I was outside in the snow last night undoing cold & wet nuts and bolts, for maybe 10 mins.

The gloves did absorb the cold, one of my fingers became very cold, but within 10 mins the gloves had warmed up again.
I run pretty warm so another person might have different results.

So yah, these gloves are solid. Nice to be outside in the snow, and warm.

Riggers gloves are good for general work outside and are dirt cheap

I got some of the black&green gloves ned shows above as they were fairly cheap at £12 and used them for a day outside working in rain and snow; they survived well. Hands were certainly warm if a bit sweaty but not much damp from handling wet stuff, a good buy.
