For grounding, I like lined leather drivers gloves. I don't find them too hot in summer. As soon as you wear through a finger, cut it off so you don't have a false sense of security. New glove ASAP and relegate the fingerless ones to tasks not done in the heat of battle. Treat them as consumables. The confidence of being well protected should let you work faster.

Do you drive a Jensen Interceptor?

Don't wear gloves starting out. Give your hands a chance to harden up. Unless it's thorn. Then it's a different ball game

Please can you guys suggest some good gloves as I'm just starting out so be up to brash dragging and chain sawing etc or may may be need different gloves for different jobs advice needed please?

 

General All Round Glove - Wells Lamont, Here or if you have long fingers try Cutter leather gloves, Here. The Wells Lamont are slightly thicker and have a flat seam along the index finger which is nicer although you wouldn't notice if you didn't compare both gloves.

 

Alternatively if you want a close fitting cuff theres the Delta Venitex with elasticated cuff, Here

 

Plenty of alternatives from Delta, See Here

 

Cold weather - Parweld Lined leather Gloves, Here

 

Wire Rope handling/Brambles etc - Parweld 16" Welders gauntlet. Here

 

For all the above I went a size down (L rather than XL) as I figure they'll stretch a bit and I wanted them as close fitting as possible.

 

Hope this helps

I would have agreed with the Wells Lamont gloves but the last few pair I have had from Costco have been very disappointing. The leather appears to be painted on - wore through the yellow facing just after loading/unloading 5 pick ups of logs. They always used to last a lot longer so don't know if its a rogue batch or cutting costs.

Everlast is good quality and cheaper than other named brands. Based on your size, 10 oz. would be fine.everlast makes good stuff
