Tips for keeping warm.

Work harder!
Only kidding, lol.


Have you tried these? - Hand Warmers and Foot Warmers?

You could more then likely buy some off eBay.co.uk and i believe they are only cheap.
 
The socks and back-wrap are smart as you like.
Not sure how long the gloves would last, mind you.
 
Know what you mean, more for a trip out on the motorbike. Battery powered insoles in your pockets for a quick warm up every now and then for the old fingers!
 
Buy quality gear from a climbing shop, I always pay about £10 for my work socks, North face fleeces etc... not sure about gloves when your scaffolding though.. hard to get gloves that keep you warm whilst giving you dexteritory ( that means feel... thickheads lol ) mind you most tight twa.ts on here won't even pay for decent frogs..lol.. so they probably wrap rags round their feet to keep em warm :bigsmile:
 
100% agree.
You need decent stuff for work, especially in the winter, when your outside in the cold for about 13 hours a day or so.

I like Decathlon.
Almost all my winter gear is from there.

Gloves? I wear these ones: (Dont laugh at the name - especially you Cala, you toe-rag, lol.) Tactical Assault Gloves.

They are snug fitting, black suede leather gloves.
They are expensive, yes... but they last for Months nearly, if you look after them and well worth the money.
 
tactical assault gloves are great for pulling your BIG RIG ???? :nuts:
 
I'm not paying £16... I'll wrap wrags round my hands ... lol... no ££££ left after spending it all on frogs....

fukin.el.. did you Google the spelling ;)
 
You'll have to ask my missus. ;)


But yes, Scaffolders are notoriously tight.
I worked with a bloke who simply would not buy a rain coat a few years ago and used to wrap Monoflex around his body to keep dry in the rain.

I wouldn't mind, but he had no kids, or they had grown up and left home and his wife earned a nice few quid up the city and he also earned well due to the amount of overtime we were doing...

AND, AND! ---> What was he??? - A tight arse Northerner, lol.
 
Monoflex .... fuckin.el..lol.. tight bast.ard... i've just spent £300 on Berghaus gear today.. I like being comfy at work... bet that bloke was a Londoner really.. ( which would make him gay ) :D

Thanks for your reply guys. I bought some battery heated socks last year but thet were shte. Ive got bad circulation and the blood dose'nt get to the extremities when its cold. I can keep my hands warm by swinging my arms round and forcing the blood to the tips of my fingers.
