Every winter I suffer with sore hands and this year it seems to have started early!
I have loads of the stretchy rubber palm type work gloves and really like them but I take them off to do wet jobs and forget to put them back on!
Any recommendations for some thin easy to wear gloves that I can scrub buckets and hooves off or clean troughs out etc in?
I do have some sealskinz but they are the very warm padded ones and I just can’t do anything in them.
I don’t get particularly cold hands and my priority is to be able to get stuff done as fast as possible without it being awkward or loosing them!
Thanks

I haven’t tried this, but in this situation I’d be tempted to put on a lot of good hand cream and then a thin pair of latex gloves under the others. Then when you take the outer pair off you still have the latex ones on, and hopefully the hand cream won’t get rubbed off. I like lanolips hand cream which actually contains lanolin, but there are plenty of good ones.

Tegera work gloves - I bought some off the basis of recommendations from this forum and they are utterly brilliant. Warm, waterproof, and thin enough I can hang haynets, pick feet out, and do fiddly bits without needing to take them off. Highly recommend! Plus they were only £6.49 so a bargain too :)

I like showa nitrile gloves, tho the backs aren't waterproof. Exam gloves under others are great (or on their own if not too cold - I planted an entire show garden at one chilly Malvern spring show using them and stayed comfortable) but do wear out. I try to reuse the same pair as often as possible.

Yes, not sure if mine was the original recommendation but I can't do winter without them! An added bonus is that because they are so cheap, you simply never lose one, as you would if they cost a fortune lol!! I have a pair that are on their 3rd winter too. :)

Portwest do a variety of waterproof work gloves, they are cheap enough to buy a few different ones to try. They are also where I get all my cycling and horse related HI Viz, massive range.
