i like the mechanics type, of rubber dipped gloves at about a quid a pair and they fit well and snug round the wrist.. and being rubber coated they stop every bit of leylandii sap... for theat alone they are worth their weight in gold!

Cutter mutters gloves are very good.

I love the ones from clarks, they have a rubber palm and really good grip even when oily and wet. They are called Tegra nitrile grip gloves. Awesome!!

I second what Slack says.

Cutter Mutter -real comfy!

Try glaziers gloves, cheap and you can't cut them with a knife..., could be a useful feature that.

We've been using some SHOWA gloves, black rubber palms, and knitted backs, with re-enforced thumb, best ones for ground work I've found, handling timber, ropes etc. Not chainsaw gloves but I never wear them unless I have to. they are stronger than the orange ones we normally buy. Also you can get some winter ones if it gets really cold that have thermal linings. (Arco)
