Developers, what gloves are you wearing?

This is my 6th pair this year and I'm loosing my mind. I've worked my way from the bottom to the top shelf I haven't found anything that holds up to the hours of brushing rappel routes, dirty ledges and loose rock. For the glove of God there must be a better way!

So please tell me, what's your go-to glove for development and trail work?

I wear soft leather gloves with the fingertips cut off for everything except serious rockhandling. If im trundling or moving blocks, I wear full finger leather gloves. I've also had good luck with the nitrile dipped gloves.

These are pretty burly:

They make a full finger version too

Work-hardened skin.  Right price, never wears out.

I’ve tried so many and none hold up for any reasonable amount of time. I just buy the heavy grey leather gloves that are $2 a pair now and just replace them whenever I need. Same with safety glasses. Mine get scratched so fast and/or dropped from height. I just go with whatever’s cheap and stack a pile in my gear closet.

I honestly only use gloves to finish cleaning holds nowadays. Too much faffing for al the other work.

​These​​​.
Stop buying gloves that are made for climbing. They aren't anything different than work gloves except a lot pricier.

Raven 6mil latex gloves rebolting. These things are actually pretty damn durable, used them when I was working on cars and they were the only brand I could find that actually held up for hours. Managed to go until lunch in a pair with no tears rebolting last week.

Best gloves I've found for rope work. Thin enough to be dexterous but really surprisingly tough. Took over a year of guiding to burn through a pair. The Zion SAR team uses them too.

None.

Brother Numsie might be right. Those things look pretty good and the price is right.

If you’re doing actual rope work it’s hard to beat these:  ​PMI Rope Gloves​​​

None but if you must just get the cheapest hardware store gloves that will do the job and buy a bunch of them.  It’s stupid to spend big money on something that will get destroyed.    Go cheap, go often.  

I find sailing gloves fairly robust. Made to handle being wet and handling ropes.

Thanks for the recommendations, y'all! I haven't played much with the dipped gloves, but I think that's the way to go.

This. $4 a pair or so and they don't get shredded any faster than pricier options. Also use them for belaying.

Coated gloves like Brother Numsie linked to are great for construction but if you care about the environment or public lands I wouldn't buy them from Uline. The owners of that company are not on your team. For example, this weird story from a few years ago: https://www.twincities.com/2015/09/26/big-scott-walker-donor-wants-ok-to-anchor-floating-bog/.

A major political donor to Gov. Scott Walker wants state approval to keep a 12-acre floating bog away from his property in northern Wisconsin, according to a published report. Richard E. Uihlein, CEO of Pleasant Prairie-based Uline Corp., is proposing moving the bog north and fastening it to the lake bed. The plan calls for crews to use barges, a crane and a pile driver to pound large posts through the bog and anchor it to the lake bed, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.

Im not discounting the validity of your point, but do you really think that all the other manufacturers of nitrile dipped gloves arent doing unethical things? I dont think you can just say "Dont buy from Uline" without providing an alternative with a documented track record of staying above board.

As for sourcing gloves, I'd recommend just going to Home Depot and buying a three pack for 10 bucks.

Sorry but I disagree. I've provided a link to some information. If people want to look into the Uihleins track record based on the starting point I've provided and make a decision about supporting their company they can. If not that's fine too. Providing a link to information about one company doesn't obligate me to research every other company and come to some conclusion.
