Best Gloves for flatbedders?

Nope. Straight out of the paper wrapper (that is how old they are). the leather part lasts for ever with virtually no wear but the cloth cuff and backing get torn after a few months. So far this year I have only gone threw 2 pairs. The key is to let them dry out when they get wet, so I always have a few pairs next to the seat.

 

Won't help much coating them anything. Those are work gloves and not out for a Sunday stroll. You will work the water into them no matter what you do. Just lay them out to dry then put them on and work your fingers for a bit and they should be fine.

 

Yes! I've had the same pair of gloves for about 3 months now. I pull a flatbed so they get a real workout. The best ones I've found are Black Canyon from Pilot.

 

Also, if I think of it I throw them in with my laundry but don't dry them in a drier.

 

I believe they are wolverine brand. When I was hauling glass I used Knoxville iron worker gloves. They have a longer cuff for -better protection and are made in Knoxville, Tn. I was preloading trailers for 3 months and used one pair of gloves. 8-12 hours a night 6 tarps per night. Why pay 10 bucks for a pair of junk china gloves when you can get a quality pair of USA gloves for 15.

 

Just looked them up on Amazon and you can find them for $75 plus 15 shipping for a dozen. Cant beat 7.50 for a usa made glove.
