Imported post
Hi all,
Just completed testing of the dry gloves that i bought -
ok hear goes, the gloves are a pain in the ass to fit (you need 4 hands (get a friend to help - or get shop to fit) but once you get going it only takes 10 mins.
first impressions wernt good - the gloves leaked!!!! found the cause of the leak to be swarf in the o ring grove on the gloves. removed all the access material and greesed the o rings - result! no more leak.
once fixed i took em to dotty for a proper test.
hears my opinion,
the liners that come with the gloves are pants, a warmer alternative was some thin thinsulate/fleace gloves from a petrol station (£1.99 with a tank full - bargain!)
with these your hand stay warm & dry. dexterity is reduced a fair amount (compared to 3mm neoprene) and the gloves can feel "different" when acending - you'll probly get usd to it prety quickly.
overall i wasnt that impressed, but there worth a try if you suffer from the cold.
oh one other thing - your hands will sweat like a child molester in a holding cell.
