Gloves

SAK · Oct 9, 2002

Looking for suggestions for outdoor leather work gloves. Been using Wells Lamont "Grips" gloves for quite a few years. These have the fingers slightly pre-formed in a grip position. I like these but they don't last as long as I would like.
Any recommendations?

Though not cheap the Geier #445 Elk Skin Gloves are probably the best work gloves you can buy.

BTW, this is a good read on Outdoor Work Gloves.

Enjoy.

I bought some of the kangaroo gloves from them last week & really like them.

their baby harp seal are very durable
and warm in the winter...a bit pricey.

They claimed to be deerskin. From what I remember from the old motorcycle days, deerskin has a remarkable combination of suppleness and toughness. I seem to recall they were about $30.00 for a pair.
Saw them at the local feed and grain store.

I have some buckskin gloves I got at Home depot that seem to work pretty well for me. I don't use them for a living, but they seem much more flexible as well as tougher than most of the plain leather work gloves I've used. Nevermind that they don't give me blisters.
