MAPA TechniMix - black (small!!!)

[Jake]

"You've done it Neville... You've found the Room of Requirement!"

I have finally found true love - MAPA. Of all the companies I have searched through for reasonably-priced and correctly sized black "heavy duty" gloves, I have always been disappointed until I found MAPA.

These are their "professionel" TechniMix gloves in a 6-6.5 and they fit perfectly. Comfortably lined and pretty heat resistant (I now use them for cooking when I need to stick my hand in boiling water), I give these a solid 9/10 (dropping one mark because they are a minute fraction too short at the palm area, but, as ever, I blame that on my stretched pianist fingers giving me irregular hands).

Are these glove chlorinated? I have a couple pairs of MAPA Technic gloves which are similar, if not identical, but they are really tacky. I tried chlorinating them, but it didn't seem to help.

Where did you get these from, Jake? I hope they're not chlorinated as that would be amazing - black tough gloves seem to always be chlorinated.

Have you tried Spontex Technic 450's? They're black, tough, and lined. Some of my (relatively) new favorites.

Hmmm, they look tasty! I'll have to give them a go, thanks!!

I found them on a UK-based online hardwares supplier. I'm struggling to remember their name, but it's some short acronym... I guess that doesn't help! Very good prices for all their stuff though.
