Waterproof gloves for winter washing?

[RenuAuto]

I know we go through this every winter, but have we found an effective water proof glove for washing in the winter? The only thing I`ve got is a pair that have huge/fat/hot-dog fingers that make me look like an alaskan crab fisherman or some kind of Mickey Mouse. Ideally something thin and waterproof would be perfect. It doesn`t get "freezing" here, but when it`s 40-something and your hands are wet, that gets miserable fast lol.

Are the ones you have neoprene? They tend to be a little fat fingered, but maybe not as bad as the ones you have. You can get a pair for around $20.



I also read a comment on FaceBook where someone was sandwiching a couple of HotHands hand warmers between vinyl gloves, though that could get expensive, I don`t know how long they stay warm.

I use the Sealskinz Gauntlets (not gloves) and they work great. I am here in Texas so it doesn`t get too bad - I have the version that isn`t lined with fleece insulation.

I don`t own these so there`s no testimony here or anything, but I saw these (http://www.academy.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_10051_504456_-1__?color=Black%2fBlack&N=628476131+4294954215) at Academy. Even if it`s not 100% waterproof, they`re a very nice fitting, seemingly good quality glove from when I had tried them on.

Renu, I`ve got a couple different sets of "waterproof" gloves. I purchased these recently but have not yet tried them...been too warm ;) They have real good reviews:

I`ve had these SealSkinz for a few years. I think they`re pretty much done and they`re too small. They seem to leak after you`ve had them on for a while...but your hands still stay very warm even when wet:

I`ve got lots of other washing gloves, but none protect from the cold. I found a pair of gloves, probably at Home Depot, that are like thick, dishwashing gloves and are fleece lined. They`re super handy around the house for all sorts of tasks and seem to be just about indestructible. Finger dexterity is very good. Probably $5 or so, IIRC.

I`ve been using these neoprene gloves for the past 10 years--(primarily started when I lived in New Hampshire)--with great success--they fit snugly so allow you to handle your wash media and drying media without problems

Tom, I think I actually purchased those same gloves just this afternoon when I stopped by a sportsman warehouse trying to find a solution. We`ll see how they hold up :)

I use ONR mixed with warm water from the bathtub. No need for gloves. I would check any gloves you use for marring first, particularly when drying where you don`t have any lubrication from the soap.

I don`t know about the quality of the mitt, however.

+1 on the glacier gloves Tom just purchased. My wife helped me find those and man have those gloves worked for me in this cold weather... You wont regret it

[tom p.]

I just checked and I purchased those gloves on eBay for $20 (delivered).

[tom p.]

I tried my new Glacier Gloves today and they`re very comfortable. I wasn`t out too long but my hands were warm the entire time. Dexterity is reasonably good. Seems like a good product for the $20 spent.



Happy New Year to all !

I use primarily ONR washes, so just take the bucket inside and fill it with warm water before starting the wash. Hands stay toasty. :)

I have used this bucket heater for a year now and its unbelievable, got tired of the loss of dexterity inflicted by a bulky glove. Be careful not to leave in more than 30 mins it gets hot. I usually just have it sit in the bucket when I am running my generator and its right nice. I have also left in my water tank over night to prevent ice, and it was even toastie in the morn.

You may be able to find a better price, I think I payed like $40.

I work out of a shop but my wash bay is outside. What I usually do is pre-rinse, foam, and then use a bucket of water that has been sitting in the shop over night to warm up. I wear the disposable gloves but water obviously gets in...they kind of act like a wet suit though. last year I ordered a pair of the seal skinz but never picked them up. Let us know how you like the gloves you bought.
