These gloves changed my life in frosty and wet weather: for the first time in 50 years of gardening, I've done most of the autumn clear-up without getting wet and cold hands. The gloves are genuinely waterproof and tough: also flexible, so that you can prune roses etc without having to remove them. Alas, I lost one somewhere in the compost heap: so have just ordered a second pair. Cannot buy such gloves in Homebase or other such outlets: even though the postage, unless you can have them sent 2nd class, will cost nearly as much as the gloves.
