Good Gloves?

[turnkey4099]

I don't think I would want to use those for handling firewood or moving hay bales. I don't think they would keep your hands very warm when it's 0 degrees either. My hands start sweating inside gloves like that after about 5 minutes so I can't wear them very long.

I wear them working wood whenever the temp is warm enough. Cheap, last as long or longer than a good pair of leather ones, thin enough to even do nut/bolt without removing. They do sweat a bit when breaking in a new pair but I don't notice that afterward. I even patch them with gorilla tape when a finger wears a hole. they are on the "don't give them up without a fight" list.

I wear Kinco Thinsulate leather and cotton, 1927KW™ LINED PREMIUM GRAIN PIGSKIN PALM WITH KNIT WRIST - Kinco(R) and keep at least 5 usable pair on hand all winter. On a snowy day I used to soak all 5 pair before going home, but either the winters have changed or I wimp out earlier in the day now. They don't last very long, sometimes the stitching starts to pull out within a week; but they are the warmest that I have ever found, and I like warm hands in the wintertime.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Yup I wear those below 30*, when it's above that and snow on the ground I wear Kinco's rubber insulated gloves. With no snow I get some cheap gloves of ebay, the only place I can find XXL gloves>>> Mechanics Work Gloves Synthetic Leather Mesh Washable XS S M L XL XXL Sizes | eBay

I have large hands so have trouble finding gloves. For cold weather up here in Maine I finally found (and bought) 2 pair of Carhartt insulated weather gloves. Sturdy, warm and wide. By the way, I don’t like gloves that let the inside pull out with your fingers when you take them off.

I just buy cheap jersey gloves and trash them quickly. I prefer a new pair of cheap gloves often rather than expensive dirty gloves that you have to keep because they were expensive.

Gloves I hate the most are those white knitted ones, popular and used in auto plants. WTH?

Same here in both statements. I'll have to look again at the Carhartts...last time I tried them I couldn't even get the XLs (which was as large as they had at the store I went to) on.
+1 on the liners coming out. PITA to stuff them back in too. :irked:

That is the problem that I have also,
I need a 3x minimum and they are extremely difficult to find,
have the same problem with boots for mud and slop, try and find 3 or 4E in a pull on tall rubber boot.

I think these Chinese made gloves run small, think they make them to fit their hands and haven't converted to American hands yet, I dont wear XXL shirt but on gloves that's what I need.

I bought these White Ox Rigging gloves April 2019. I'm still on my first pair. I usually go through work gloves about once per month or two; cost doesn't seem to matter. These gloves were recommended by the Essential Craftsman guy on YT.

Nothing like hanging a wet pair of cotton gloves near the fireplace, so they are comfy, dry and warm. Leather gloves just get hard and brittle.

ALL: i'm looking to stop buying leather gloves at costco that turn to paper when the get a drop of water on them. i'll check out what you all are wearing in and outside the shop and see if I can find something decent.

I found this article. It can help you. Please check here

There are several threads on gloves
BUT

Lamont, specifically with wrist cinch. Natural color don't stain when wet. XXL is actually XXL.

Yup, about the only inexpensive leather glove that fits my left hand. I've probably 20 pair somewhere and have only totally worn out maybe 3 pair in the last 10 years. They were my "go to" glove for years, but don't work well with concrete. I like to use them as driving gloves.

Handling my heating wood is a killer for leather gloves so I tried ones in the link and they outlast leather by a long shot, still on my first pair and still holding up. I don't see a reason to go back to leather.

They are also on Amazon SHOWA Atlas 3 Fit Palm Coating Natural Rubber Glove, Blue, X-Large (Pack of 12 Pairs): Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific

I've bought a 12 pack of blue and a 12 pack of Grey (insulated), a little over $2/pair.

I also have many boxes of nitrile "disposable" gloves, from 3 mil for handling Habaneros, to 9 mil (90 gloves for $15) for changing oil etc. I don't like soaking my expensive $2 gloves in motor oil

I'll give those White Ox a try. Ive seen them before. Maybe one or two pair to see how they do. Not a dozen until I know they will work for me.

I don't know how you buy 1-2 pairs. But it's really moot: PM me your address and I'll send you a pair. The ones I have are large, but they fit my XL-XXL hands.

Found the EC video on these gloves:

FTG: thanks for posting up the video! i've seen a few of the Essential Craftsman's videos and he's easy to listen to and he knows his stuff.

ALL: looks like i'm going to be buying some WHITE OX gloves soon. If a large fits a xl, xxl hand so maybe my smallish hands should get a medium where I usually get large in other brands?

Thanks for the offer. I’ve seen them locally in some store on a rack where you can buy them individually.
I should have said 1 or 2 pair.

Thanks for posting about them also. I tend to go with recommendations from satisfied users more than anything else.

I like goatskin gloves. When I was working they provided free gloves and our vendor had some leather ones almost as pliable as goatskin. It was a gamble at the vending machine whether you would get a good pair or not.

 

[Rebeldad1]

When I used to work setting pile on a piledriver and hooking chockers
Wet weather or working on the water heavy duty cotton gloves
Dry weather deerskin gloves

Now retired
Dry weather costco 3 pair for $20.00 leather gloves
Cold weather Harbor Freight lined mechanics type gloves

Well they do have good ratings but are no good for hot work and thats kinda important for me if paying over $20.00......... Amazon.com: Carhartt Men's W.p. Waterproof Insulated Work Glove, black/Grey, XX-Large: Clothing
