It only happens in the winter, and when i catch them sometimes on letterboxes or gates it feels like an electric shock.

I have to tape them up each day, has anyone who also suffers from this any suggestions on what else i could try, is there a product i could buy ?
Man up for fucksake
Jeez... there's no harm in asking a question is there ? :roll:

I suffer this too. However I have a cure. VASELINE. Use 2 or 3 times daily during your duty and you will not suffer again. Do it even when its not cold. During summer too. It works for me and Im prone to excema an cracked skin.
