Tillman 1415L Top Grain Goatskin Drivers Gloves-L, L

These are the best work gloves out there! They are thick enough to offer good protection against thorny brush, but soft, flexible and breathable enough to be comfortable to work in for hours on end. I wear the large, my wife does the medium, and we each feel they are a perfect fit. Will definitely be buying more of these!

I love goatskin work gloves, but they can be hard to find in hardware-store racks. They conform well to your hands, and though they're not as abrasion-resistant as cowhide, I don't mind replacing them more often, because they're comfortable enough to wear. Cowhide gloves are stiffer, and I find myself leaving them off (so I can feel what I'm doing), and then my hands get chewed up. With these goatskin ones, the feel is good enough to handle fairly small objects without clumsiness, and I tend to keep them on. (In my experience, deerskin is about halfway between cowhide and goatskin in these respects. Pigskin is closer to goatskin, but goatskin is the best of the four.) --- These gloves are well made. The fingers are long enough and of ample width. The stitching looks good, and the skin they're made from is of uniform thickness, without the thin spots I've seen on other gloves. --- Unlined gloves are also good for winter work with silk glove liners. They can be separated when wet and they dry out faster that way. --- Though these gloves are made for welders, I use them for working with heavy or abrasive stuff while doing miscellaneous building repairs, and sometimes for shoveling snow.

Great all around glove. I use them for metal work, and even though they are thinner, they last quite well.

These gloves are some of the best ones I have used. I usually keep several leather gloves on hand, for just in case, but this is my go-to pair. I work a lot in landscaping and material handling, and these give me the dexterity I need, but also protecting my hands without being too stiff. I can pull blackberry vines out by the root with these without getting poked. As with most leather, they get cumbersome to use when wet, but they have to get really soaked for that to happen. I get 6 months of use out of them before they need to be replaced.

These are lightweight and protective. The only downside is that when they get wet they stretch a bit. I wear them when I hike or work in the garden. The price is right.
