I bought these the other day and were very pleased with the quality and cost of them. I thought for just over a pound a pair they would be cheap and nasty, but I'm well pleased with them.

I bought a few pairs of those gloves, they're very good for pulling up ragwort. :)

How big are they, my problem is I have big hands and its practically impossible to get a pair of gloves to fit. Large gloves are not big enough most or the time and if I do manage to find a pair they usually start disintegrating within a couple of days.

These are marked as a 9, but I have biggish mits and they fit me ok.
I tried them out today on a days gardening and I normally have to change a pair about half way through the day..These kept my hands dry and warm all morning.

They are great, I have just bought 6 pairs of yellow ones, great for keeping hands warm and dry.

Hmm, just clicked on the link and it comes up with "Last One" and the price flicks from £22.50 for 10 pairs to £220.50.  Wot?!

a lot of sellers do this on ebay when they run out of stock. its so they can keep the advert live and just put the price back to normal when they have more stock.
