Well as winter feels like it's already on its way, what recommendations do you have please for waterproof gloves that aren't big bulky ski gloves? I wont be plunging my hands into water buckets but just to do usual jobs of taking off wet rugs, filling haynets, opening wet gates etc.

I get all my winter years gloves off Work Gloves website. Just filter on waterproof and then choose what you are after. Due to price I normally pick up 2/3 pairs as reasonable. You can choose different thermal levels as well. I have probably 6 pairs in my car ranging from super thin waterproof all way up to mega thermal waterproof for watching lessons and picking poles.

A neighbour gave me a pair of Hy-Flex work gloves. They have been brilliant, and really tough. The palm area is waterproof, but the backs are stretchy fabric, yes, they get a bit wet, but hanging them in the airflow dries them quickly. They have lasted two years up to now.

I loce Sealskinz but usually go for the work wear ones as I get several pair for the same money. I go for the ones with the green as, although they are not rated to as cold, they are more flexible and practical and seem warmer because of it.

They are only waterproof for a while, but that is OK at that price point.

These are favoured by the grooms, not stylish but they work. I bought some last year and they lasted well, stayed waterproof and warm. Better get some more

I got these & they are great so far. I've rubbed a bit of the coating off the palms hoiking soaked haynets about, but they are still waterproof & comfy. Enough room to cram hand warmers in on super cold days.
PLUS they're so reasonably priced.
