All year round, leather ones as a preference.

I don't like using gloves but for some jobs would be silly not to. Leather for ground work and rope handling.

And nitrile gloves sometimes for climbing especially for sticky trees.

I thought all trees were sticky!

 

Bare hands mostly but showa thermo ones on cold days.

Almost always wear gloves, generally leather although I've tried gripper type knit gloves, sailing gloves, weightlifting gloves, chainsaw gloves all of which fell apart.

 

Currently using Petzl Belay gloves on the recommendation of someone here, good fit (for me) and plenty of feel, if they last a reasonable amount of time I'll get another pair but they cost a bit more than regular leather work gloves. If they fall apart I'll just wear regular Wells Lamont work gloves which last pretty well for normal work.
