GJW, if you buy the Gripswell gloves, I suggest that you buy the white gloves - the reason is; if you have acidic skin like I do, with the first glove wearings your hands will turn brown from the glove dye (uninsulated). I learned that the cure is to wash the gloves out in hot water three times which removes the excess dye. I've now worn these gloves for the past year and they are wearing extremely well.
