I bought new work gloves

They are not as good as the old ones.

They never are. I go through work gloces at a rate of about a pair every three-ish week, and what drives me bomkers is that it's nearly impossible to find a pair of work gloves that doesn't have the stupid touchscreen pads that don't even last a day. Gloves without the pads are either too bulky or too thin/would last about a day altogether.

I don't need the touch pad tips, and what I can't stand is the slippery fabric underneath the grippy touchpad surface that ruins my ability to grip things.

Site gloves are pretty good have you looked at those?

What gloves do you use? I've got a pair of Mechanix gloves that have been wearing pretty well - thicker than my usual gloves (muc-off work gloves) but they haven't stopped me working on fiddly stuff yet.

I’ve been using these VGO gloves from Amazon. They’re the best I’ve found so far, but that’s not an endorsement from me, more the best of a bunch of crappy choices.

I got pretty upset when I took a chance on a $25 pair of what were supposed to be heavy duty Milwaukee work gloves that didn’t last a week.

I’d be interested in those Mechanix gloves if you don’t mind sharing a link
