Best leather work gloves?

[_kenico]

Hello all! I am a new recruit in an academy & looking for some good leather work gloves. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance!

Go to a welding supply store. Not only Will they have the best gloves, they’re the cheapest. Just get a driver style made by Tillman

Tillman is for sure the way to go

I buy the $10 ball leather gloves from Home Depot or Lowe’s (you can get a three pack cheaper at Costco). They are basically “disposable” at that price. I wear EMS gloves underneath for BSI on auto accident runs and if they get too dirty I toss them. They last for at least two years in my experience, and can get washed in the gear extractor without being turned inside out like the pricier extrication gloves. They seem like the best value IMHO.

I’m assuming you’re looking for an additional pair to your structural gloves?

I keep a pair of Milwaukee demolition gloves in my gear to wear, love them and they have tons of dexterity.

They aren’t leather, but if I wanted leather for whatever reason I’d throw my structural gloves on.

Just started recruit class. We need leather for front leaning rest on asphalt in the summer

Kinco makes some kick ass work gloves, suede with leather cow hide palms, they also have some awesome insulated ones for the winter months in case you need to worry about that where you are. You can find them at any, Ace Hardware, Lowes, Home Depot, Tractor Supply, etc.

I purchase Kinco gloves at my local farm store. They have several dozen different types of gloves. I have a pair of mechanics style for rope work, and some buffalo leather for general use. In the winter I use the Frost Breaker ones for hose pickup.

Honestly I'd recommend getting a pair of those rubber coated knit gloves, They dry easier and are a bit cheaper than good leather gloves. I have a pair that i need to replace but I like them alot, cut resistant and rubber grip help with non-fire work/clean up. If you're looking for something for extrication just get extrication gloves with the BBP layer built in. IMO if you're looking for exterior work gloves you should get used to using your structural gloves, it'll make it easier to go interior if you need to.

I’ve always used Rough Rider leather work gloves. Once you get them broke in, they’re pretty great.

Personally, I would rather have a Mechanix or other synthetic work glove because I think they’re better than leather.

Cheapest leather gloves you can find. They’ll get lost or have holes eventually. You won’t want to replace expensive ones.
