Hi sorry its a big off car topic but I'm sure theres people on here in the same position. I'm a roofer and winters coming in (not nice!) my hands get painful wen cold but if u were warm gloves they're to bulky to be able to work ie: hammers nails screws etc. but they also need to be tough and waterproof. Maybe non exsitent but thought it was worth an ask.
Cheers

Spannering, especially in the cold, tends to make my hands sore these days. Ages ago I bought some bodyguards gloves with rubberised palms and fingers. They aren't very thick so are good for car work. However, they quickly got full of oil and curse word so just wearing them made my hands filthy. I now wear a pair of latex gloves underneath them. I can still feel what's going on, the latex doesn't tear, my hands stay clean and protected, and the double layer helps them stay warm.

Hi, have you thought about coldstore gloves? They should be available from the likes of Greenhams, other vendors may be available.

Mountain biking gloves. Good quality ones are water resistant and there much the same feel as mechanix gloves I've been using them for a year or so now and I wondered how I got on so long over winter without them.

Some days you just need to take a grinder to an inanimate object, just to make your day a tiny bit better!!

Hi, I'm a chippy i work in neoprene groves designed for motorcycle trials/ trail riding (I think they may be Scott brand cost about £20), they have reasonably thin leather/ suede on the palms and the rest is neoprene, they AREN'T waterproof, they're designed to work like a wet suit and they're pretty good at keeping your hands warm and they get worn all day long. I don't think they would stand up to handling tiles all day though.

Go to your local garden centre. They normally sell lots of hard wearing decent "useable" gloves. It's we're I always get mine from.

I wear white cotton gloves , like a posh water would wear - dirt cheap mail order bundle , and I think they are marigol brand thin gloves which have a rubberised palm/fingers and are stretchy , also dirt cheap . They keepyour hands warm and clean and are thin enough to feel stuff .

I use a combination while working outside through winter these days - nitrile rubber underneath a pair of Ringers impact gloves.Not the cheapest but works for me,key is getting the size right so you don't have excess fabric on the finger ends to keep the dexterity.
