Winter Gloves!

[5plusbonusball]

Gloves! I just use cheap hand cream as a barrier, some guys wear gloves while still wearing their shorts!

shorts in winter = arthritis in a few years time? Thermal long johns under your troosers ftw!

I've been using these over winter, not waterproof, but they're tactile enough to still be able to filter through a bundle, which is the key concern when wearing gloves.

If money is no object then I'd recommend these:

Toasty warm and waterproof, yet give you a free finger to separate the soggy letters while on delivery.

£50!!!!!!!!!!
You must get a fair bit of docket...

Yeah, I do a lot of OT and if I'm going to be out walking around for 8 hours in the cold and wet I like to be comfortable. It's only the equivalent of working a normal day off one time to get nice gloves which will last a couple of years.

I'd better not admit what my raincoat cost me. It's actually waterproof, unlike the RM rubbish!

Thank you. I've just ordered some. Will see how I get on with these before investigating the Sealskins ones.

Royal Mail fingerless gloves are pretty good in my opinion though I did know someone who used a proper glove on the hand holding the mail bundle. Have a proper breakfast and wear a hat and you should be okay... your manager will likely tell you to work faster

I'm a fast walker so hopefully I'll be ok!

Plus if you're doing a trolley round with a long push to the start and/or from the finish, then have a pair of winter gloves for those bits. Swap to the fingerless gloves when you start delivery and swap back to the full finger gloves for the return.

My tip for any driving a Vauxhall Combo would be hang 3 sacks over the cage section. Then most of the heater output stays in the cab section and doesn't escape so rapidly when you open the back!

They arrived today and look great but I might order some Sealskins too!

It sounds like you have the same problem as me with cold hands/fingers so, trust me, if you have even one finger exposed during a cold Winter's day, it will feel like it's dropping off after a couple of hours outside. I have tried almost every type of glove in existence, even ones with wires in them and batteries to heat the gloves up. Nothing has worked. I am definitely going to order those Sealskinz ones right now.

I bought a similar pair of gloves from Aldi last year (neoprene fishing gloves). Didn't last long at all as the constant holding of handrails while going up and down stairs, opening gates etc put holes in the material after a couple of weeks.

I got these http://www.sealskinz.com/UK/gloves/ultr ... oves-black" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; last winter and they were incredible. I also cand stand cold hands during my walk, especially when it's freezing cold and raining. These were a godsend though not cheap.
