Gloves you use

Buy the cheap ones at the hardware store for fueling!

 

Second that , if your job does not require heavier gloves. I keep cheap jersey gloves in my pocket at all times . If they get torn up , big deal! Out .99 . Buy them buy the dozen . Pack lasts me over a year .

 

I agree. For day to day use and if it’s not brutally cold, use cheaper “disposable” gloves that might give good service for a month or so. Those are probably great for real cold days and especially if you spend a good amount of time in the cold weather.

Gloves for chaining purposes? It depends on how cold (or wet/cold) it is. I find most chaining occurs when it’s in the 25-30f range. Not REAL cold. I like some dexterity so I’ll deal with numerous cheap leather gloves so when one pair gets wet during chaining, I’ll sub those out for a dry pair to unchain with. I’ll buy these by the dozen and will always have a dry pair to start with.

I can buy a half dozen of these for what you can buy 1 high end glove pair that will still get soaked through on “wet snow” days.

 

Always used what I call “welders gloves” the short ones. Cheap. Recently found insulated ones at Truckstop on sale for winter. Bought a bunch of them. Nice feel for fueling year round. Recently bought a bunch of mechanics rubber gloves closeout at TS . Kinda nice good grip hands stay clean. My limit is around $4 any more I’ll do without. I buy a lot when on sale or closeout deal. Then I’m always giving them away if helped out or if I see an old friend or relative

 

I run mostly either a mechanic style glove or deerskin gloves.... if it's really cold out I do have a pair of thinsulate deerskins but I find even in single digits my hands start to sweat then get cold anyway from them.

 

I checked out the gloves in your link , if you crank the landing gear often they will disappoint. The rubber grips on the side of the index finger will pull off quickly. Would hate to see you spend 40 bucks on those if that's what you will use them for. Chain work they will be fine .

 

I just buy the cheap leather/cloth ones from truck stops. Unless it's a nasty chemical than rubber ones come out.

 

I just buy the cheap leather gloves available at the truck stops. Mechanix gloves are great but all the tasks I need gloves for I also need to frequently take the gloves off for something. IMO, it's a PIA to constantly be putting those type gloves on and off. The leather gloves have a wide opening so it takes little more than a quick shake of the hands to remove them.
