Warm waterproof gloves

10 replies

Could anyone recommend any warm, waterproof gloves for my 11 year old? She helps out at local stables for up to 10 hours at a time (not slave labour, she lives for it!) and desperately needs something to keep her hands warm and dry when doing yard duties, poo picking, grooming, hay nets, etc. She has Raynaud's and is prone to chapping and rashes on her hands. Most waterproof gloves I've seen are big and bulky like snow/ski gloves, but she needs to be able to use her fingers to tie knots, do buckles etc.
Thank you :)

My dd (now a full time rider/groom) has these - they’re designed as a work glove so not too bulky but they’re properly warm and waterproof (also miles cheaper than an equestrian brand).

Excellent, thank you, will have a look!

We just got some gloves for horse riding from go outdoors. They weren't expensive and they are slim but warm and waterproof.

@Cwcwbird Is there any chance yo could link to them for me? I can't see any on the website that say they're fully waterproof... Thank you!

I just bought some shire aubrion yard gloves - think they were £7.95 and they are amazing

My dad picked up some ThermalMax gloves from his local Town & Country - he used them for yard duties, I found them excellent for cycling as they are SO warm! I've now bought my own pair for cycling as they are slim fitting and keep the tips of my fingers warm during my 40 mile rides! They were £8 a pair online.

Sealskins are amazing - they're not cheap, but you can often get them on offer through sportspersuit. I've also seen some decent waterproof yard gloves on the hope valley saddlery sale page today, which looked really good - one type were flourescent yellow, so not as 'cool', but harder to lose!
I'd advise getting ones that are slightly loose, as tight ones are usually worse for making your hands colder, rather than warmer. xx

Thanks for the glove link. I now have three sets of them and even managed to clean all the ice out of a tub trug and not a wet finger in sight! (Or feel. :D )

Biddie191 · 13/12/2022 09:42

Which did you get in the end?
