Not necessarily for automotive work. Im doing a lot of outdoor work on other things, like suring up the framing on a garage I own offsite.
When doing automotive work in the summer, wearing rubber gloves, in the heat, my hands become like a fountain. I dont sweat excessively or have sweaty palms, but rubber doesnt breathe obviously. Its nature of the beast.
Recently for my other jobs, I bought some white ox rigging gloves. Theyre canvas, and comfortable to wear. But boy do my hands sweat in them, and the canvas gloves absorb it. Theyre hard to turn inside out to dry as well. They will be great in cooler weather, but Id like something else for now.
So, any recommendations?
Key attributes ideally are:
- Made in USA
- Breathable
- Cool for summer work
- Dries easily when sweaty
- Reasonably resistant to splinters
- Dense enough to keep hands relatively clean and dust-free
- Enough finger feel to blindly grab a nail or screw and hold in place
