Waterproof Gloves

I have always suffered in the winter sorting out the bunnies... but have discovered websites that say there are waterproof gloves :shock:

Now if this is true then I am gonna buy some as its usually my hands getting wet when tending the bunnies that leaves me to freezing cold hands.

Anyone use waterproof gloves? I have seen a website http://www.sealskinz.com/ that sell these gloves, but there are mixed reviews on Amazon etc...

If these are no good, does anyone recommend any waterproof gloves?

Ta!
 
http://www.gloveclub.co.uk/feelsafe-ultra-soft-nitrile-pink-p-377.html I use normal disposable gloves which are waterproof. I also have some gardening gloves which are quite good which allows me to do fiddly things without getting in the way.

Looking at the pictures you have shown I would wonder as they seem quite bulky if they will get in the way when cleaning out.

There are a few different designs... and there are some that seem better for doing the bunnies, like these:

I would use those medical sort of ones you posted about but they make me feel a bit "icky" :oops::oops::oops::oops:

There are two possible things that you may have a problem with one is latex, the other is the powder.

You can buy latex ones, some which are latex free and others which are powder free. Might be worth experimenting to find out what works.

With the gloves you show it may be worth buying a pair to see if they work and keep your hands warm ... although they do seem quite £££ If they work they will be worth it.

LOL Sorry should of explained myself better. I dont like the thought of those gloves (they dont make me physically ill). Those gloves always remind me of nasty medical inspections so makes me feel a bit yukky :oops::lol:
 
I used these Town & Country gloves last winter. I bought a size bigger than I would normally have so that I could also wear some thin fleece gloves inside as a liner.

When I go to Kirkby Rescue I'm outside for 3-4 hours and last winter my hands did stay warm and dry on even the coldest of days.

They're not perfect if it's pouring with rain as they have fabric on the cuff and part of the back of the hand, but the majority of the glove is waterproof so I didn't find that too much of a problem.

I actually bought myself a new pair yesterday ready for the winter. :D
 
In Wilkinsons they sell heavy duty rubber gloves for about £1 (they're black and designed for doing yucky jobs like cleaning drains).
They last me for ages, unlike Marigolds or similar.

I buy them a size too big and wear thin wolly gloves inside.
