My favorite tactical/work gloves are the Petzl belay gloves. Good nylon mesh on the back, and goatskin palms. They hold up very well in both shooting and working with wood. Pretty decent value, too.

The fit on the set of leather gloves made me think of something I did years ago and is a lifesaver: If you have an even slightly difficult time finding shoes (or gloves) that fit properly, make a plaster cast of your feet (hands would probably work, too.) All I did was fill an old pair of shoes with plaster of Paris, then shape them with a rasp according to the dimensions of my feet. Depending on the material, you can then take your new shoes or boots (or gloves), put your "feet", complete with the socks you would wear, inside them, and either dampen them and let them dry if they're leather, or put them in the oven at a very low temp to help synthetic materials "pack out." This saves a lot of blisters and speed up the break in.

I also highly recommend any type of mechanix gloves. Fabricators are good for a work glove with great fit, I use the Mechanix Armor I believe they are called (reinforced knuckles and certain joints) for working on motorcycles with my father, the Winter Armor for riding and plowing snow/winter light work on my quad, and any typical light weight pair for moving furniture, or collecting wood or any other light activity (I'm quite a fan of wood whittling). Every pair I own is over 2 years old and in excellent condition and quality with what I would assume heavy use, especially the fabricators (as being only 17 I spend a great deal of time in the woods. During school year 2-3 hours a day with close to 4 on weekends total, during summer/breaks double that.) my only issue is on my light weight set where I had a small block of oak that had rotten in the middle and I slipped through with my Gerber and chunked the finger leaving me with a cut that needed 3 stitches on my thumb. Then again, it was my own stupid fault and the glove probably saved me maybe a finger or at least serious damage. 10/10 as well for me for all mechanix gloves products (each set has their own niche. Keep this is mind. For overall if you favor safety with heavy work, the fabricators are best. For dexterity the armored gloves are your best bet for a level of safety. For light work anything above the armored is asinine and overkill unless you work with blades or wood.)

Hey nutn and TNPers. Just thought I'd throw my bit in since I haven't seen too many welders comments. I'm a welder, fabricator, blacksmith and a couple of other things that pertain to the field but those are the main ones. Any glove that you have are going to get destroyed pretty fast. You're literally melting metal and I do mostly TIG but when I do MIG the little bits of spatter will get into every little crack of the gloves eventually and burn out the stitching. Grinding is also a strain on the groves because again you're throwing around tiny pieces of glowing hot metal that burn up the stitching. I've gone through LOTS of gloves and by now I am more focused on how comfortable they fit so that I don't have to worry about them impairing me as I work. Safety is key though. If you want to keep doing this job you have to protect your hands as well. A fair balance for safety VS mobility is key and it looks like these have a good even matching of the two thanks again nutn! Hope someone gets something out of my comment. Owl out!

These get issued to aircraft maintainers/flight deck personnel in the Navy for deployment.Tough, durable gloves that will hold up to months of daily use. I believe the black ones have small pinholes (that don't vent at all...) in the suede so waterproofing is probably going to be very limited.

I actually wear the the Mechanix Fabricators at work quite a bit. Ironically, I am Welder/Fabricator by trade (20 years). I don't wear them while I am actually welding though. Not for the amount I do anyway. They just would not hold up for that. If you just weld a bit here and there in your garage they would be fine. I build and weld large booms for cranes. But for handling steel and whatnot, they hold up very well.

***** I did that the last time I bought gloves from Mechanix and according to the chart I needed Medium to Large size. I ordered that size (Large) and they were way too small. I needed the XL/XXL size. They need to put a line on the chart that should measure one inch, so when you print it out you can make sure the chart is the right size. I would recommend going to the store to try on gloves. Charts aren't always accurate.

I've not had good experiences with the Mechanix gloves in cold weather, though I've not tried that model specifically. However, Cabelas sells a gortex-lined kangaroo leather glove for about $40 that I love. Warm, waterproof, tough as hell. I've chopped wood in the snow, changed tires in the rain, and hauled fishing nets in 12-foot seas in the things and there's barely a scuff on them four years running.

It depends on what your needs are, of course, but have a look at the Keen brand: www.keenfootwear.com/ I can unreservedly say they're the best footwear I've ever worn. I have a pair of Voyageurs ($140) that have lasted three years and counting and a pair of Clevelands ($170) that are two years old and barely showing signs of wear. Before I found the brand, I was going through a set of normal shoes every six months and a pair of boots ever year. REI sells them, if you have one near you.

Look pretty short to be welding gloves alone. But, as an all purpose glove that handles some heat, they look great. Been using Mechanix brand for years, this one flew under the radar with me. I get free gloves at work, working on heavy diesel equipment, so I use what I get. At home I use Mechanix. Camping and wilderness survival I use the same. Also shooting and recovery expeditions when people around me find themselves stuck in places they were not ready for. Mecanix rocks. Tactical gloves are usually overpriced and limit dexterity. I will sacrifice safety to dexterity in tactical situations. As a rule of thumb, I use caution sticking my fingers anywhere I wouldn't stick my dick. My hands are my life at a Diesel Technician.
