Cheap gloves. Like the 5-pack ones. Because then you’re always wearing practically new gloves! That what I do.

3 Pack of leather gloves from Costco, don't remember the brand, might be Kirkland but I'm not at my truck to look at the package. 1 pack of 3 pair last me a year in general. Often times I will wind up throwing them out before they are wore out because I got PB Blaster on them and I cannot stand that smell.

Get some waterproof ones in case you are working in the rain.
But only use when needed.jamespmack Thanks this. -
Nothing beats KONG gloves. Google them.

Have some buffalo hide gloves I’m using now. So far they’ve worked well the last few months. Used to use the Tillman drivers gloves, but they’d only last a few weeks.

Sullivan makes nice gloves in USA.

I'm of the opinion that if your gloves have a brand name, you are paying too much for them. I always look for a good thick leather glove, made of cowhide, and the reinforced palm is a plus. Just don't pay too much for them, because you'll ruin them in short order anyway.
Stay away from those sheepskin and other fancy gloves, they aren't made for real work. I also don't like any lined glove. Buy your gloves a little big, and put a pair of jersey gloves on under them if you need the extra to stay warm in the winter.
Lots of people these days seem to like the mechanics type gloves, but I hate them. Hard to get on and off, and they don't hold up as good as leather. -
