You mean for on the ground? Depends how attached to your finger prints you are, my groundie uses welding gloves from screw fix, https://www.screwfix.com/p/keep-safe-welding-gauntlet-red-large/9096t £5 and they last for ages. Good for rigging but difficult to use a saw with them on. We used to use the Petzl brown leather ones

but they were nearly £40 a pair and didn’t last that long. IME can’t go wrong with the welders gloves at £5 a pair and pretty good for dragging spiky stuff too

I just used to use any old leather rigger gloves. They're only going to get nakerd anyway. I tend not to bother with gloves these days though. Let the rigging device do the work, it's why it's there. 
I know what your saying, but i always rig with gloves just in case. Friction burns f'in hurt

If I’m ever running the ropes, I’ll use a cheap rubber building glove on one hand and a good quality leather glove on the other hand. That way I can grip properly when needed and can also let the rope run quickly as well. Best of both worlds with great control.
As long as they are of reasonable quality I’ve never gotten hung up on branding as they are going to wear out pretty quickly whatever name is on them.
