Best gloves?

Wondering if anybody has a suggestion for good gloves. I have tried quite a few different brands from cheap to expensive and they all seem to wear out pretty fast.

I'm also looking for good insulated work gloves. Nothing worse than trying to process wood with cold hands!

Thanks!

 

There's at least one thread on here about gloves.
HDRock has some he really likes. I think they're Atlas......... He'll be along shortly.

 

The $5-6 dollar full grain leather work gloves at Harbor Freight.
I buy 3 pair at a time and use them for work and at home for handling firewood.
I like tight fitting gloves and will root through a stack to find the ones I like.
Nothing fancy and wood is pretty hard on gloves so these fit the bill for me.

 

These Atlas Fit gloves don't wear out fast , unbelievable how long they last , I bought 12 pair in 2015 , I alternate between two pair I got out of the pack and have not worn a hole in em yet .
In the past I worn out so many different kinds it was ridicules , I wear med , they have all sizes

I have one pair of these , not really cold weather gloves IMO , keep your hands warm at about 40°F

I'm lookin for cold weather gloves too

 

I knew you'd show up.
That's only a couple bucks/pair. If I buy the 12 pack, I'll be dead before they get worn out.

 

Exactly what I've been thinking.
You remember Nate up in Alaska with the firewood business he said he processes 80 cord with one pair

 

I like those for firewoodn' ^^^^


For everything else I like the Mechanix Wear synthetics.

 

x2 and i like how they fit!
They don't hold up to firewood, but great for anything else, including riding atv's and motorcycles

 

Ninja Ice gloves gloves for cold weather .... excellent!

For when its not quite as cold, I got some Gorilla Grip gloves at HD. They are very light, but quite warm and durable.

 

They have several different types that are good.
I like them for snowmobiling!
I've got big paws and they fit unlike most others.

Imo all gloves are disposable. If I'm wearing gloves it means I'm doing something where I don't expect them to last long anyway.(hardly wear gloves)

I like Tillman too. But can be pricey.

 

For general firewood duty count me as another vote for the atlas gloves. They won't wear out as fast as leather and a better price too. I like that they sell them at my local ace hardware.

For most other activities don't sleep on the China Fright (Harbor Freight) mechanix knock offs. Lot less spendy for similar quality.

Mechanic's Gloves Large

I also like the goat skin riding/work gloves they sell for running the chainsaw and general chores...

Goatskin Riding Work Gloves X-Large

Excellent durability for the price and they work well as mechanics gloves too. I will say that for both Hardy brand gloves the fit can vary and like TurboDiesel I will root through them for the best fit.

 

I use latex dipped atlas style gloves that I get for about $1/pr for splitting, stacking and weedeating. I find the rubber grip to help with vibration a little on the trimmer. I had in the past tried many varieties of gloves from basic drivers to high end stuff. Splitting wood eats them all in short time, so I go with something cheap. The textured grip surface gives good purchase on wood and I get 4-5 sessions with them before they start to get holes.

For everything else, I mostly use Ironclad brand General Utility gloves or their Ranchworx gloves. I do also get some samples of these type of gloves to try from work.
I always go back to Ironclad when it's time to spend my own money.

Cold weather gloves?...ski gloves. No joke. I found that places like Kohls will have end of season sales on winter gloves. Got a nice warm pair of waterproof Columbia brand gloves for $5. Normal price was $45. I also have some motorcycle gloves that are pretty warm, but I wouldn't use them for chores.

I have battled with bad dermatitis on my hands in the past. The kind where you go to the doctor and he says "Oh my..." in pity, when he sees them. As a result of those experiences, I won't do much of anything without paw protection. I have tried many, many gloves. I would wager that I can pull at least 10 unique pairs out of my truck right this moment, with more at home. What I've learned is that there is no "silver bullet" glove that will work for and handle any situation.

Edit: We sell tons of these for cheap winter work gloves every year. They have a fleece lining, but can be had with a wool style pile lining also.

 

Warmest gloves I've owned are some Olympia Gauntlet Motorcycle Gloves Gauntlet Motorcycle Gloves
Bought them at a local shop many years ago Home
I don't ride anymore but they are great for running the snow blower and shoveling, hands never get cold in them

 

Yep
Im wearing a pair now for riding.
I like how they fit

 

Funny you mention motorcycle gloves. I've brought home several pairs from work that guys included in the purchase when my boss bought their bike. I'm only taking stuff not able to be given away or sold. You'd all laugh if you saw me running saws with this style.

But hey, they're free so...

 

The IronClad Tundra are some pretty nice gloves for working in cold and wet environments.

 

I have a pair of Echo gloves that are too big, a pair of those stretchy gloves would work good in them
