Gloves, what kind?

While driving down a gravel/dirt road it occurred to me that I lack a pair of gloves in my truck should I need them. If I needed to move downed trees/branches, I would've had to use my bare hands.
I don't presently have recovery gear (I'm working on that).

Are there any gloves I should be looking for?

 

Kinco for life. Every hardware store I’ve been to sells them. Snowplow drivers swear by them and I used them when I was a ski patroller.

More than one pair.

Leather, cloth, insulated, A pair you can get oily and greasy.

I have 3 pair.

At least.....

 

I'll go the weird route.

Cheapest pair of leathers at the hardware store. If I use them twice that's one more than I had anticipated.

 

I think I have like 5 pairs floating around my truck.

I use these for everything but mechanics.

 

Elkskin ropers.

Geier or Sullivan.

What’s stitches in your hand and trying to shit, shower, shave or do the dishes for a month worth...?

Even expensive safety gear is cheap in hindsight.

 

(get some good safety glasses, a high visibility reflective vest and build a decent first aid kit while you’re at it)

 

I’m with MonsieurHodge. Kinco are by far and away my favorite glove brand. My second pick would be flylow’s. I like the insulated gloves a bit more for leaving them in the car. I don’t want to have to deal with having a summer and winter pair. Get yourself a pair of leather insulated kinco’s get some water sealing wax on them and you’ll have them in the truck for life. I’ve had about 2 dozen pairs over the years and still have 13 or 14 pairs laying around the house.

 

+1.

 

Safety first !!

 

I like my Tillman Gloves I need the dexterity for using ratchet straps I even use them for the less serious welding .

Insulated for the winter and uninsulated for the warmer they come a dozen to a package they live in all the vehicles I use.

 

I use those for airsoft and never thought about keeping a pair in the truck. I however do not like it when they get wet. So maybe those and and waterproof pair of something else?

 

I have safety glasses and this is my first aid kit: https://survivalfirstaidkits.com/collections/first-aid-kits/products/vehicle-first-aid-kit

 

I added these to my cart.

I love mine, they don't even need to be treated with sealer, they stay dry inside even on a super wet day.

 

@JaCado I changed my "glove" standards...

 

Just put in my Amazon order for those gloves and a pair of the Mechanix ones in black.

 

Let me know how you like ‘em!

 

I gotta try the gloves on I can`t buy them online .

I have big wrists that make my hands look small to me.

Though the are not and because sizes vary so much one brand 2x fits good the next to tight
