Gloves for log handling and processing

[Woodworks]

What do you recommend?

 

To date I have just been using cheap builders gloves. They are OK but don't last long and leave my fingers wrinkly from them not breathing.

 

Thanks

my mother in law is awesome at presents and gave me some buckler gloves. they're elasticated, breatheable with leather pads to match the pads on your fingers so quite manouevreable if you get me. I,ve used them for fencing and logging and haven't ripped em yet. they wont offer a lot of protection to a chainsaw though!

Is it just me that doesn't wear gloves? Find them annoying and sweaty and if the wood your handling is wet they just get soaked through

My Mrs won't let me near if I ain't been wearing gloves, LOL.

Showa builders gloves (orange and cream colour) I have found to be the best. They are a bit pricey but they last forever and you can wash them which always helps.

Just got fed up with cuts and calluses and as Hodge points out there are advantages to nice hands

I use Wells Lamont leather gloves from Costco, usually £18 for 3 pairs and they last quite a while

North Oil Grip. You'll try all the others and settle on these. I'll give you a pack of 12 pairs if you think otherwise.
