Buying Guide: Choosing Wells Lamont Gloves

Leather Driver and Winter Gloves
Leather driver gloves are made from split or grain cowhide. Some styles, such as the Bucko, have a keystone thumb and a shirred elasticized wrist that helps keep out dirt and debris. Some winter work gloves, such as the Saddletan grain style, combine leather with spandex and Thinsulate insulation for warmth while you work. Choose a leather style for general handling and a winter style when cold weather is part of the job.

Chore, Knit and Gardening Gloves
Chore gloves are made from cotton and polyester with a knit wrist, and the Clute cut places seams on the back of the hand for flexibility. Knit work gloves use a lightweight, breathable fabric back, and some are made with Coolmax fabric for moisture-wicking comfort. The Liberty Print gardening gloves feature a leather palm with a canvas back and reinforced thumb and fingertips.

Chemical Gloves
Wells Lamont chemical gloves are PVC-coated and liquidproof, designed to keep out water, gasoline, fuel oils and other non-acidic chemicals. They have a long gauntlet cuff that extends protection past the wrist and a cotton lining for comfort. Check the glove label and your task before using them with fertilizers, pesticides or fuels.
