Gloves...grrr...

I just bought some Gill 3 finger gloves. I will be sailing 4 times a week for the next two months. I have got the cherub nats as well so some fairly hard use. They look well made and fit well so they should last. I had some crewsaver sh*te before that were £12 and lasted 2 weeks before the seems started to go. These were £25 so they should be the muts nuts. I have learned (already, only 17) the hard way with hiking gear, I have gone through countless pairs until I got hold of some £90 berghaus boots that lasted me my silver and gold Duke of Edinburgh practice and final hikes, thats a lot of walking time! Spend that little bit extra every time, I know I will.

EDIT: These gloves (from the actual shop!) http://www.welshharp.co.uk/product_detail.php?productID=1037

I also got an new buoyancy aid (Henri Lloyd) and boots (Ronstan) and some new trapeze hoops. Bigger so I won't miss! AND I got a free mug

Originally posted by Merlinboy I use thermal builders latex palmed gloves slightly better then the orange ones as they are thicker, they cost about £3 a pair and last about 3 weeks tops, but they are awesome, apparantly you can get them with Kevlar in for chainsaw work, my helm is trying to get some as we speak i will report !

 

You can get them with chain mail too.....

The majority of sails don't last a season, gloves are the least of our worries
