    Jersey gloves, the cheap brown ones. You can layer them if it's really cold, you can cut the fingers off, you can throw them away if they get full of stickers, if they get wet just grab another pair. I buy them by the 10 pack.

    I have a pair of hunting gloves that has individual fingers and a mitt-like flap. I cut off the index finger on the right glove , that way I can grasp the flags. The only thing that gets cold is the one finger.

    Skin like leather and fingers the size of sausages, don't need gloves. Summer or winter.

    I use mechanics gloves, but they do get wet and not much help below 30. I use the insulated jersey but for me i do not like the slipperiness on my reciever. When it gets wet and cold I have water proof gloves, I got at gander mountain, $24. They are like a scuba type glove, water proof and wind proof.

    Economy Cotton/Polystring Knit Gloves


    These natural beige color off white gloves are low cost and very popular. They are made in four economic weights of cotton blended knits and are sized to ensure comfort and a great fit. They are made of 60% cotton/ 40% polyester. Very suitable for a variety of uses and are ideal as a liner under work gloves. Their seamless design provides warmth and reduces abrasion.

    Made in U.S.A.

    I wear these primarily now. One size for warmer months and a larger size that I can put the poly inserts in for the colder months.

    I used to wear Easton or Nike baseball gloves but many sites I go on now require Kevlar gloves, hence the change.

    Ok I guess the picture didn't come up.

    They are Phenix Gear T.K.O gloves.

    I normally wear a rubber palmed glove. These keep your hands dry longer working in the snow and only cost a couple bucks at any gas station.

    The thing that sucks with our job is you can't keep your gloves on the whole time while working. Between unbonding,taking pictures, and other things I think I have my gloves off more than I have them on.

    Yep, those are the ones Golden.

    Easy to manipulate buttons. Hard knuckle protector. You can cut the 'trigger' finger off with NO fraying (good for working the mouse pad on the lab-top).

    They AREN'T the most expensive or the least expensive but they work pretty good.

    I wear Rocky camoflauge hunting gloves. They fit great and the only time I have to take them off is when I am on my laptop. Very lightwight and thin, yet tightly knitten to keep warm for the climate I am in.
