I don't do product reviews usually, because the only new gear I've obtained in years has been a couple flashlights. But I just wanted to pass this info on.
I handle a LOT of wood. 3-6 cords of firewood every year, from hauling, bucking to splitting and making kindling. The one thing that has always irritated me is how long a pair of gloves will last me, which is usually 1 season, or less in the case of $2 cloth work gloves.
I also do most of the wood handling in the dead of winter, which means wetness rulz.
It's a PITA to post pictures here now, being a 4 step process at best, so I'm just going to grab an image off the 'net to show what I'm raving about.
These gloves I got from my local hardware store for about $12. I am going into my 3rd wood season with the same pair! They have neoprene palms and fingers, and nylon backs. They are relatively warm even when soaking wet, and dry in a couple of hours indoors. They don't stiffen up after drying since they contain no leather. The also fit snugly enough that most tasks can be performed without removing them. The only time I need to take them off is reaching into a pocket, or opening a non-assisted folder. After 2 seasons of handling split firewood, there is only one 1/8" tear on the inside of one thumb.
Read the full info on Amazon, and check the ratings. Good stuff, Maynard!
