I get a season out of my gloves which are just the same as those shown above (but green).  I'm so infuriated at the leather gloves you can buy for £15-£25 that wear out in a couple of races I've taken to selling my type of glove for £4.

Tom, you would make an awesome glove sales person.

Better than you would make a porn star anyway.

Iain, I used the superglove versions last year, generally lasted about 3 to 4 months sailing most weekends. Found they needed a weekend or 2 to bed in though.

I have the supagrip ones with grey rubber, have lasted me ages- and are warmish- i used them all through winter. Cope with thin spinny sheets and halyards very well.

Iain, they do come in different quality.  The ones to go for are the ones with writing on the back in rubber, they seem to last longer.  The hod carriers who use them avoid the really cheap ones, they last them about a day where as the better quality seem to last them a lot longer.

go here http://www.thesafetysite.co.uk/ and go to the personal protection bit, and follow to coated gloves.  They work out at about £24 (+ vat) for ten pairs.  Should last you for ages.
