i go through a pair every 3 weeks or a month doing fab work. the index finger and thumb inevitably get burnt out. had been buying the wells lamount at $14/pr but theyre not great and made in the orient. so i gave the $5 buck chinkshitexpress ones a try and theyre solid. heavier made the the wells shit so im going to stick with them
if im doing primary welding i like the tillman 1464 with the doubled index and thumb

Can anybody recommend an alternative to these? They're the only work gloves I've ever found that I like but they're outrageously expensive now. Doesn't help that I've got small hands and they're just about the only gloves of their type that I can ever find in stock in Medium size.

If you need to wear gloves then you need to work on toughening your hands up instead so you can use your hands as god intended.

I get these cheap Wells Lamont gloves whenever I find them on sale. Got the pair on the left from an Atwoods a few months back for $2-3. Mostly using them for prescribed fire, but I also usually them for the occasional barbed wire work or clearing green briar thickets.

What kind of work? Welding (heat)? Chemical/oil resistance? Handling lumber?

Depends what I am doing. For welding I use special welding gloves, when taking out the ash I use leather gloves, for the most other tasks I don't use gloves since they can smell and I hate having smelly hands.

>what work gloves are you guys wearing
None, considering I was born with a pair of balls. I earned my tough palms and callouses by working for a living like a real man. Anytime someone shows up at my jobsite with a pair of gloves we all laugh at him and bully him mercilessly until he takes them off. If you're a pussy who wears work gloves just make sure they match your purse.

Wells lamont seems to be the best brand, i like the "hydrahide" line, it doesn't get all stiff when washed. I've been using the same pair of their leather work gloves for like 2 years and no seams have broken.
