Showa 660 ESD's from Arco are black

Absolutely useless for hand signals though, but it annoys Chris B so they are well worth getting!!

I don't use baconsdozen - simply because they don't stock the size 11 XL Showa 660's - only up to size 10 (L)

Protecdirect however do..



edit: which reminds me - I should order some more as the other primates stole all of mine..

Not when you're trying to fit them to rolocks! I found the 481s were just a bit too thick

Okay glove geeks, what are the 481's?

Tempted to try the 490's and then use thinner liners.

they don't work well with an inner glove though - and it you wear them without an inner glove (in summer) they stink after a while..

481's - same as 660s but with a fleece liner.

490's don't know - but they are also popular and cold water rated - so I would assume slightly thicker than 660's.
