Best winter glove I've used so far are Skytec Argon Thermal Grip Gloves http://www.screwfix.com/p/skytec-argon-thermal-grip-gloves-black-x-large/64916

Glacier glove, warm all the time. £20

I may have order a pair of those argon thermal though as reviews are nothing short of good

Got a pair of Unger glovers, don't know the model number but they are good and warm, £13 off of cleaning spot me thinks.

Unger's stiched and glued seams are known to fail /emoticons/sad.png :thumbsdown:.....do they now come with a free tube of glue /emoticons/biggrin.png.

The ones from screwfix are not waterproof and smell when get wet inside.

 

[Smurf]

The type I have from screwfix are just fine for what I want them for in cold weather and keep my hands dry and nice and warm. They are also washable too. http://www.screwfix.com/p/skytec-argon-thermal-grip-gloves-black-x-large/64916

Mind you I don't go sticking my hands in a bucket of water /emoticons/biggrin.png

I have the Argon skytec too. They are brilliant. Very good, warm, good grip and a good price :thumbsup:

Well, too late for you to get them for Wednesday but really there is only one glove for window cleaning, Sealskinz. The ones they make from merino wool. Thermal, waterproof (you can put your hands in the bucket and stay dry) and rip proof and also palm lined with some sort of grippy material. I just got a new pair of ebay for £25 but my last pair has lasted me 3 years so at £8.33 per year I think that's pretty reasonable.

If you want another option they also do a gauntlet almost elbow length.

I can honestly say I would never buy a different brand for working with.

Also socks and hats by them.

Sealskins no good for trad use....the liner breaksdown between thumb and index-finger area from the wringing-out of sill-cloths etc....leaving you with leaky gloves.

Can I suggest that perhaps you have been unfortunate Bingo? I only use them for trad ass 99% of the work we do is trad and not encountered the problem you mention.

You could...but....as my mates pair of Sealskins and a couple of other window cleaners we know have gone the same way, I think it's too much of a coincidence.

Maybe we don't know our own strength and are wringing the sill cloths out too dry :rofl:.
