I tend to lose gloves so I bought two pairs of thinsulate gloves in
Morrisons £4 a pair. Not sure how waterproof they are.

Skin? It fits the "two-out-of-three" rule, and has the added bonus of
self-repair <g>.

Cheap fleece or woollen ones from somewhere like Wilkinsons and extra large
size Marigold washing up gloves over the top.

That's certainly the cheap option. Trouble is if you've got big hands and
want fairly thick gloves underneath you can't get them over the top. But
it's ok for small hands and not too thick ones.

Did you miss the snowboarders' gloves in Lidl then? Our local store still
had a few pairs on Friday but I haven't looked since.

Or Marks & Spencer ski gloves £12. not sure if the lining would stay
inn place with wet hands though !

Don't knock 'em. And great for doing the washing up as well...

TGO (Dec 05) p. 99 has some ideas on gloves.

(Wonder if anyone who's got the electronic TGO might supply the info)

I'm using my old snowboarding gloves which after a few years of abuse
are now useless for that sport but just fine for walking in winter.

I'm sure that a pair at the cheaper end of the scale will be just fine.

Just bought a pair of ski gloves in ASDA, cheap as they were marked down to
£4 and warm, probably waterproof.

I have medium Thinsulate gloves and they won't fit inside the standard
Marigolds from the supermarket. But a quick Froogle shows that there's
loads of different types (and not all in yellow!), so maybe it is an
option

No, I've given up on Lidl having been disappointed too often. For me,
it's a waste of time and energy.

That's the big problem - waterproof gloves are a bit pointless if you
can't get 'em back onto wet hands after a food break or whatever. Then
if you've got 'em back on after a fashion and there's a gap between
glove and sleeve on a wet day they fill with water. Thinsulate and
some sort of rubber glove might be a good solution for really vile
conditions if you're somewhere you don't need to use your hands much.
I use green nitrile rubber gloves at work for spraying etc - they are
pretty robust, cheap and come in a range of sizes.

Actually, am I being thick here ? Is Thinsulate meant to be waterproof
or water repellant ? I've had them for about 15 years and never tried
treating them with any water repelling stuff.

I think Thinsulate is just the trade name for the insulation filling in the
gloves isn't it? So whether they're waterproof or not would depend on the
outer material.
