Re:Re:Mechanics style work gloves

In need of some recommendations for a pair of versatile but super rugged comfy close fitting work gloves. They need to be able to resist cutting from Stanley knife blades and rusty nails, resist abrasion from things like sandstone, yet also allow full movement and a good degree of sensitivity. Oh and also be waterproof and warm. I haven't had much luck in the past and consequently I have quite hard hands but I'm increasingly finding it difficult to get my hands warmed up and I'm also getting tired of random busted knuckles and little nicks and slices I often don't notice doing at the time. Any suggestions? Cheers in advance.

I've had an old pair of motocycle gloves in the shed for years and I use them for all the nasties that try to take your knuckles off. Made of kangaroo hide and the slim fitting kind without all the sliders and projections (Harley riders seem to like them).
Avoid the big brand names and the needn't cost too much.

I'll have a look for some. Kangaroo hide motorcycle gloves. Cheers. Was also looking at mechanix m-pact gloves they seem to be well reviewed.

Hi, I have used a pair of Snap On mechanics gloves for years, for everything, including mountain biking and they meet all your criteria apart from the waterproof bit. Alternatively check out the range of Site gloves from Screwfix

Maybe layer up, set of seal skinz and mechanics gloves.

Or a thin pair of latex disposable gloves under the work gloves
