Has anyone got any suggestions?

I like the sealskinz gloves as they are waterproof, relatively thin and I use them on a wide range of outdoor activities including sailing, biking and walking where you are often using your hands. This weekend I was mainly strapping a RS tera dinghy to the car roof and helping my youngster rig it with them on, its slower than no gloves but if your reasonably dextrous they work fine.

I use this type

For low season sailing particularly when it's cold and wet I like 2mm neoprene gloves as worn by windsurfers - not the prebent type though.You can undo knots with these on.For colder weather I would change to these to do the job.

I find Hand warmers work wonders.

Gloves off, do the work. gloves on then plunge your hands into a pocked with a handwarmer - bliss.

They need to be waterproof, taking gloves off is ideally not an option.

I use these as for me they are dual purpose, yachting and shooting. Fold back finger and thumb means you don't have to take your glove off for the more intricate jobs.

Business not getting enough hits?

my hands get cold in Seal Skinz. I like these woollen gloves. Pull them off for work, back on afterwards. And becasuse they're wool, even when wet they keep hands warm.

I use some cheap Uvex thermal working gloves[1]. They're plenty warm, waterproof where it counts (palm, fingers) and have a woven back so they can breathe. They're very grippy and not too thick, I've worn them taking down sails and also for cycling.

Macwet gloves. Surprisingly warm.

I use them for shooting, flying in unheated cockpits and golf too.

I have used the kinds of gloves worn by people who work in freezers (meat lockers etc.). They are warm and have lots of grip. Not waterproof, but keep your hands warm even when wet.

This kind of thing:

I know these are US websites but it gives an idea of the kind of gloves I use. As a bonus, they are really inexpensive compared with sailing gloves.

Aldi sell neoprene anglers' gloves whereby you can pull back the thumb and forefinger covering easily (for knot tying)

edit - maybe fishing shops sell them too - yes, here you go, Google found this - very similar to Aldi ones (£5 if I remember correctly). Kept me warm in Solent last January.

I am looking for a glove that is waterproof, it should work with a drysuit to provide total wateproof protection.

Think Merigolds with a warm liner and a seal for your wrist, with touch technology.

For that second the fishing gloves with 2 fingers & thumb openable, loads on ebay, e.g.

Tell the crew to do it, so ones hands stay nice, warm and cocooned in their three layers of thermal liners, Musto fleece gloves and Helmsmans mittens.

 

[JumbleDuck]

Fingerless suede ones.

 

[Poignard]

I use these.
