I'll second dirty rigger gloves. In my experience they lasted a bit longer than other brands. That being said, I'm lucky to get a year from any set of gloves I use.
C'mon Bob, nobody's asking to (literally) work their fingers to the bone here.ever consider not wearing gloves? power through the pain for a few weeks and you'll grow a custom pair of gloves right on your hands haha.
I've personally never had a problem with Home Depot/Menards work gloves myself. I wouldn't fly things without gloves, and I wouldn't even consider climbing up to the loading bridge without gloves and probably a backup pair too. I've never felt a problem with an "on sale" from Home Depot, so I've never seen a reason to get something else. Maybe I don't know what I'm missing, but, I'm of the mindset that if it's not broken, don't fix it.
I run flys all the time without gloves for day to day stuff when I'm just moving a lineset here and there. I only wear them when I'm moving things during a show. I can't stand wearing gloves when I'm loading weight though. It's mostly a mental thing, I like that solid tactile feedback of holding the bricks in my bare hand.
