I like the all leather style glove as well. You need to throw some leather conditioner/waterproofer on them! I use a combination of neatsfoot oil and beeswax!👍

Thanks Dan, I would say the same for the Stihl gloves I had. Currently using my best pair yet, $10 Camel hide gloves from the PA farm show. I bought 2 pair, the first ripped in a matter of weeks, the second is right about two years old. I meant to get a lifetime supply this year but am now realizing I must wait until next January.

So far the best glove I've found is the Youngstown Titan XT w/ Kevlar. I have a newer pair and and a well worn pair. They only wore out at the inner finger joints going across but the finger tips are intact. They're the only pair of gloves I have that have the fingertips intact, every other pair splits right down the side or wears through in the middle like you showed. I use them for cutting, stacking, running the splitter, and hand splitting with an 8lb maul, wedges, sledges, and fiskars splitting axes. I still do a fair amount of hand splitting every year so I'm extra rough on gloves.

I found some goat skin leather gloves at Harbor Freight for $9.99 that I like. The palms are grey leather and the top is nylon. I like them because they didn’t make my hands wet picking up snowy firewood. Since I like them I bought 4 more pairs. They are not as easy to hold onto logs but my hands were dry. Hardy is the brand. 57512 is the item number.

I've been disappointed with Fleet Farm since not long after the new owners took over. I used to spend a considerate amount of money there, but since they don't seem to have a handle on stocking (even pre-covid) I've been splitting most of that between smaller local retailers and online transactions. I've been using some wells lamont gloves, they are a different style than yours (I can't stand the tight cuff). They've been working great - except when I misplace them. lol

get a new set of the better gloves, pre-wrap the fingers with duct tape and replace the duct tape when worn out, save on the leather. Last longer?
