Gloves

Hi all.

Just wondering if anyone can suggest a pair of gloves for delivery? I used a pair during the recent Winter but found my dexterity wasn't great when if came to looking through my bundle when out on delivery. So I switched to wearing a fingerless pair on one hand. I need gloves that are thin, and form fitting, enough that I can look through letters easily.
Has anyone come across, or use, a pair that work really well for the job?

Kind Regards,
Neil

You could look for silk gloves that go under motorcycle gloves for extra warmth

There're a couple of other threads raised on this same query, NP1975.

During the current situation I would presume you'll be wearing Blue Nitrile gloves.

I admire your enthusiasm but surely the weathers warming up... not getting colder?

The best advice available suggests gloves & masks are best deployed in medical situations.
For others just wash your hands regularly and cough or sneeze into a tissue along with 'social distancing ' measures.
We have gloves available in our DO but no one is using them apart from the DOM on odd occasions when he starts cleaning surfaces etc.

Personally I don't wear the rubber gloves either, it just seemed ironic that the question was about the best gloves to wear!

We have a few Posties that are obviously a bit more worried about the situation than others, they wear rubber gloves everywhere. Lots of people getting stressed about No Hand Gel ...... I suggested they take a Hand Bowl... Soap ... Towel & and a bottle of water in their vans if they're that bothered. Stay Safe!
