Gloves

[zeldalithgow]

I want some warm waterproof gloves for poo picking, it's no fun holding a metal rake in freezing temps
Any recommendations for gloves that fit small square palmed short fingered hands ;D I wondered about some neoprene ones

[harveydales]

Mmm, I'd like some winter poo-picking gloves too. Mine must fit large, broad hands.

I'm also looking for some new winter riding gloves as the girls keep pinching my pimple ones.

I was looking at an ad for seal skinz earlier on in the week and I thought they looked great - if a bead dear...

My local saddler sells these. I was thinking of putting them on my Xmas list if they are any good. Does any one here have a pair?

[zeldalithgow]

I have a feeling that Merlinalison had tried them and wasn't impressed but it could have been another make

[SuzieP]

I think you're right, Zelda......I remember that too.

[leannwithconnie]

Yes I have had a pair of those inthe past and wasn't very impressed at all.
I haven't yet found any that are comfortable and waterproof Zelda. I just tend to buy losts of the cheap and cheerful ones now and as they get a bit wet as I'm working pop anther dry pair on

I have found that cheap the £1 fleece gloves from tesco with a pair of normal rubber gloves over the top work well. Sometimes have to cut down the cuff of the rubber glove as the get mixed up with your coat sleeve.
Snuggly and dry on the inside , poopy on the outside. ;D

[zeldalithgow]

Nah no good lol I use a shovel and rake to collect and my fingers are so short the fingers on most gloves just flap about ;D ;D

The macwet gloves are really good Zelda, let me know what size you are and I,ll see if I can get a pair from our rep, I can sometimes get a few freebies.

[zeldalithgow]

Ooo Van that would be great , I'm usually a small

[harveydales]

Oh Van, I've just splashed out on a pair of Macwets for riding! I'm pleased to hear you say they are good - i was very nervous paying out so much for a pair of gloves. They look too good for poo-picking though.

I wondered about these for yard work and poo-picking etc: www.horsehealth.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=275

I use my Musto fleece gloves and put latex gloves over the top when I am doing the horrible jobs. It works really well for me. I buy the latex gloves in boxes of 100 from Costco.

[harveydales]

I must have exceptionally large hands because there is no way I could get latex or rubber gloves over even my thin pimple ones and still be able to use my hands.

I've got a pair of gardening gloves like those Pam, but I think they would be too thin to keep out the cold from the freezing metal handle of the rake, can't see me getting on with gloves over gloves lol as I can't do anything fiddly with one pair of gloves on so have to keep taking them off - gosh I am a fussy shopper
