Gloves for scrub

Mon 02 Jul, 2012 10:10 pm

I have used many types of gloves over the years of bashing through scrub.What do fellow bushwalkers find best for cold wet scrub?

Best for anything. Ninjas. $6 from nubco, great on rock, light... and durable.

I use ironclad gloves (purchased at Bunnings). A bit dearer but great gloves with tough leather palms etc. Very comfy to wear. Very good fit.

+1 on the Ninjas.
I carry polypro liner gloves (cheaper than merino's & just as warm) to go under these when it's cold & wet, covers most all conditions.

What model of Nijas are you guys using. There are several types that seem quite similar?

I think it's the hpt's, although they all look very similar.

I got a pair of those a couple of weeks ago to try and forgot to take them on the weekend! Do you use the plain one or the one that has the covering up and over the knuckles on the back?

The ones I have are just like a normal glove but pretty good for scrub bashing and on rock.

A large chainsaw. Wielded by someone else, while I supervise.
