    Costco usually has 3 pairs of the Hydrahyde for $20.

    Costco is a hour away and I don't have any membership for them. Walmart is 5 minutes.

    Yes. I switched from the "railroad engineer" type cheap gloves. Those are the ones with leather fingers and palm but a heavy cotton back and stiff cuffs. I found the more expensive deer skin gloves last long enough that the extra cost was acceptable if you don't lose them first. Maybe just soak the new gloves in water and that may reduce staining your hands, I do not know. I just accepted the yellow hands.

    None of them last more than a couple months. Tractor supply has some decent ones. Deer skin are my favorite for comfort. Pigskin is durable and cheap. The last ones I got were harbor freight pigskin. Try not to get any that are dyed yellow. Unless you like looking like you have jaundice.

    I have used these gloves found on eBay the last couple of years and they just last forever! Get 'em wet and they don't fall apart like many others. I usually have to retire a pair when the inside of the gloves start to get my hands dirtier than not wearing them. Price isn't too bad either.

    I usually just wear one glittery white glove. And I moonwalk everywhere I go in public.
