Specialist Gloves

Does anyone have any thoughts or recommendations for warm and as near water proof as possible gloves suitable for use by a person needing to be dexterous with her hands. For instance unwrapping syringes/needles etc.

I'd look at the sailing brands personally - Musto, Helly Hansen etc

Safetygloves.co.uk - huge range on there & very reasonably priced. Ive got the ejendals tegera 517 & they are completely waterproof & thin enough to maintain dexterity. Buy a size bigger than usual though.

I have just bought off safety gloves and seriously pleased with mine! I bought a pair of Ejendals (I found them true to size) and I think they are better than SealSkinz which I was previously a long term fan of. I also bought a cheaper rubber gripped pair which are thermal. You couldnt stick your hand in a water trough but they are waterproof around the palm and fingers. They were bought more for doing yard work and picking up poles so not to wreck the other ones.

I love my tegeras - they are not expensive and do a great job but I haven't tried a really fiddly job whilst wearing them!

I feel some new cycling gloves coming on from the link lol. I do much prefer gloves with proper glove sizing.

Thank you, I will pass the info on.

I have the gloves referenced to above (https://www.safetygloves.co.uk/ejendals-tegera-517-insulated-waterproof-precision-work-gloves.html) And they're great, insulated and waterproof. However I would say they're probably too bulky for using things like needles etc, I struggle to tie haynets up or undo combination padlocks with them on personally.

Disposable latex gloves over your normal thin wool/thinsulate gloves. Top tip from my farmer friend when I was helping with lambing a few years back!

Yes, doing that now.
