Superb advice from you guys, had located a pair of great 3mm neoprene gloves from Crewsaver at £27.99 but settled on the Ron thompson neoprene gloves 1.5mm thick with splits on the first two fingers and thumb at a knock-down price of only £10.75 incl postage which is dirt cheap!!!

Thanks to vespa these i have duly ordered from sportfishing link as advised on beach zone thread "Grippy gloves".
Thanks also to the innovative Kayak/glove idea from Urchaidh also ( must be a great business idea in those if they could be developed for kiting). Will let you know how good the gloves are..........................
A thousand thank-you's
