The post below got me thinking. What gloves do you wear?
Summer or winter. What are your favorites. For me 100%
plainsman leather gloves I have a pair in everything I own and
random pairs scattered around. I get them at Sam’s Club and
sometimes Amazon. They have an insulated version that I
wear if it gets really cold. Extreme conditions I wear a pair of
mid weight latex gloves then insulated plainsman or brown
jerseys over top depending on how nasty the job might be.
When they get some age and grease and oil on them I put
them on and rub planter talc all over them and makes them
feel brand new
 
I wear the
Yellow Farmer chore gloves in winter and also have leather cowhide for other work. Kow Farmer Kurt. 🐂👩‍🌾
 
Iv got them all, i hate wearing gloves, but i have to when handling firewood, extreme cold, ect

The cheap white cotton with the little black dots on the palm for fall and spring. I wear through any glove working with machinery those times, and take off and loose, so cheap works best.

The Kinko and similar that were mentioned below For real winter time. I am in Minnesota......

Same pair I wore in stans post 🤩

Then what ever leather gloves I can find for around ten dollars in the summer the more expensive ones are nicer but the cheap ones have the same germination rate
 
I had always bought/used the El Cheapo leather work gloves, such as from Walmart or the big box stores. This past Summer I got in on a deal on Amazon for these gloves, for about $15 for 3 pair:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003DZ02XE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

These are the NICEST work gloves I've ever used!! They go on easy, yet stay on while working. They only come in uninsulated (as far as I know), and they're soft as leather dress gloves. That said, they can take a lot of abuse.

After that I also bought a pair of insulated and uninsulated Kinco Buffalo work gloves. They're OK, but I much prefer the leather and fit of the G&F gloves.

I also bought some of these:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009RRQGDM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They were huge when I got them, but fit beautifully after washing. They're double layer, so they are quite warm. They are equal in grip to yellow chore gloves. I've tried them in sub-zero cold, then in sub-zero cold with wind. I like 'em!
 
newhollandnut; New Holland used to [I don't know if they still do] print their name on, and sell, Wells Lamont leather [what I call "engineers gloves"] Those, or something similar, I think cost about $6.
 
I have the leather gloves,white and brown cotton gloves,orange insulated rubber gloves,blue plastic coated 'smurf' gloves,several different types of insulated gloves,welding gloves.
 
I have big fingers, most gloves are too tight and cut off the circulation. Even xxl I have to try them all on as some will be okay and others too small. So anything that fits.
 
I don’t wear gloves after March or before November. Once November comes and things seem to be damp and windy , then I usually wear the yellow chore gloves. My hand is usually too big for gloves to fit well, and the stitching often rips out or they rip across the palm. I gave up on wearing gloves to handle square bales in my 20’s, and never looked back. My old dad wore gloves winter and summer to work at anything. Seemed he always spent a lot of time searching for his gloves. He’d take them off to fix or adjust something, then forget where he put them down. Then the search was on.
 
I rarely wear gloves, except when touching very cold metal or handling heavy treated lumber. The lumber thing to avoid splinters. A big one sent me to the emergency room once. Nasty story.
 
I like canvas gloves with leather palms for almost everything outdoors. I wear the latex gloves for changing fluids on vehicles. I don't like working on cars with gloves on.
 
I'm a lot like Bruce for gloves. I hate them and from about march or april till about oct nov. I don't wear them. Just in cold weather. Can't work in gloves never could start a nut or put a bolt in a hole with them on. Well maybe an one inch nut or bigger. The green ones with the insulation for real cold weather anymore. Otherwise just those yellow dozen pack gloves. got to be the big ones though. otherwise the seam by the thumb rips out.
 
I like the Atlas Thermo-fit gloves - around $4 a pair when bought in bulk with the guys at work. Rubber coated and they stay dry and are flexible enough to gas up the chain saws without taking them off. Will keep my hands warm down to about 20, but below that, not much good.

For cold weather I like the Carharts. Leather palm and fingertips, thinsulate lining. They hold up well and with a pair of mylar/polypropelyne liners are good for real cold days.
 

I can't keep warm anymore below about 40F. Cheap TSC green cotton "fuzzy" gloves from 45-50 down to 35F or so. After that, 100% wool chopper liners inside pile lined chopper mitts. There are no gloves that will even begin to keep my hands warm anymore.

Only summer gloves are for barbwire fencing. Any heavy leather glove that I can get in XL/XXL. My hands aren't that big, but most gloves are cut really small these days.
 
I had a pair of Kinco gloves come apart due to bad stitching. Kinco not only replaced but also sent an extra pair at no charge shipped for free. Excellent customer service
 
Must be something about our North Country climate. After too many years of near frostbite, the last few years I find it almost impossible to keep the hands warm when temps drop much below 10-15 degrees on the high side of zero fahrenheit without resorting to mittens. I now do my best not to work outside when it gets cold. For what little I am out and about I use whatever fuzzy chore glove I happen to have picked up on a fall trip into town. For firewood handling and working with steel at moderate temps (25-50) I use Kinco pigskin. They wear well and don't get stiff after being wet. Two pair usually get me through a year; I generally buy a six or ten pack every few years. Thought I might try a pair of the buffalo hide for wood handling next spring. I rarely wear gloves when the temps get over 50-55.
 
The yellow and red Handy Andy's in colder weather, wool liners in chopper mitts for sub zero. for regular chores the plain brown cloth gloves are cheap and i don't have to worry about misplacing them (pack of a dozen is $13.00 I think)

Sometimes my hands get colder in the bigger insulated gloves, they either sweat or it cuts off circulation. ANYTIME I can work without gloves is the first choice.
 
Heavier gloves don't seem to work for me. I end up having to take the gloves off to use my hands so that isn't good. I normally use Jersey gloves even though they are thinner. I don't have to take them off near as often.
 

Yeah. The problem with working in the cold. Gloves are on, off, on, off, on, off every time I have a little screw or something to handle. Get grease and oil on the fingers and then grease and oil inside the gloves. Have to buy the cheap throw aways.

Just ordered a dozen of brown jersey winter work gloves with red fleece lining from Amazing for $18.05. Search for: G & F 4414L-DZ Brown Jersey Winter work gloves. The L is for large. They have other sizes.
 
I get the cheap Hardy mechanics gloves from Harbor Freight. $3.99 a pair with a coupon. Use them for general farm use.

I keep several brand new pairs in my daily driver. Usually have three or four pair scattered amongst the tractors, shop, and farm trucks.

If they get oily, I take them to my regular work and toss them in the washing machine there (we have a specific machine to do oily, greasy stuff).

When they start to wear out, throw them in the burn barrel and grab another pair.

Can't say for sure exactly how long they last, as I usually have several pair in play, but I know a couple of the current pairs are from before when they changed the manufacturer from the blue "Western Safety" brand to the current black "Hardy" brand.
 

I keep a bunch of those Hardy gloves around and use all summer. Once they get oil and grease on them, I toss them. Didn't know the leather could be washed. I wash the brown jersey gloves but I never can get the oil smell out of them.

When I worked in the oil fields, I would take my coveralls, gloves, etc. to the laundry mat and added a cup of solvent along with the detergent. Smelled like solvent but they were clean.
 
I have a couple of insulated biker gloves-like a touring biker would wear in cold temps. They have a curved shape to fit around the handle bars. I wear these if I am on the tractor in real bad weather or out for a long while. I used to wear them when quad riding in cold weather years ago- repurposing! I used use those white mule work gloves a lot, but lately have been wearing Mechanix gloves since they are thin and flex easily. I have some arthritis in my hands and these help my grip. Mark.
 
I wear the cheap large flannel gloves most of the time and disguard when they get too messy (or sometimes wife washes them} . For extreme cold I prefer flannel mittens because they are more flexible than leather, and often wear old pair inside new ones. Problem is that no one makes them any more and only left overs I can find are too small.

Thats me right there. Gloves are absolutely useless to me once the cold weather starts. I'll wear them all spring, summer and fall but one we get down to freezing its leather mitts with wool liners. Even with them my hands are cold most of the time but better than with gloves. I know some that can do it but I have to have heavy insulated mitts to get through our winters. Yes, mitts are clumsy for some jobs but so are frozen fingers.
 
For moderat to just freezing they are perfect and wear very well. For colder Minnnneeeessssooootttaaa cold, it is dark brown jersey inside fleece lined doe skin mittens. I can have two stages of warmth, and touch. Jim
