[BI4L Request] Fingerless Gloves

Submitted by IceBearSword t3_1072k71 in BuyItForLife

I tried many gloves now and so far, either they make everything else too hard to do with my fingers and I have to take them off or they are thin enough, but when I have to do something rough with my fingers at the job, such as using strength to pull gears, they end up getting ripped on the finger part, so I would like to try some a good pair of fingerless gloves.

Thank you.

Hmm, it's hard to recommend something without more details about the contexts in which you'll use the gloves. Nonetheless, the two fingerless options that I'd categorize into the near-BIFL category (I see gloves and shoes as eventually disposable, to be frank) would be the Black Diamond Crag Half-Fingers (my wife and use them for climbing and summitting and beat the daylights out of these gloves, but they just keep chugging along. I also brought a pair with me to Afghanistan and they held up wonderfully. With more moderate use, I'm not sure you could easily kill them) or a pair of Wristies (my entire extended family uses them as a warmth amplifier for winter sports, and we haven't worn a pair out yet. I personally wear the Tekk version for the harder face).

Thank you very much, i see shoes like that as well, but gloves go a long way, before using them at my work place, I had the same pair for at least 3 years, and when I was a kid I had a pair for over 9, so I believe they can be really durable.

If you wonder why I use gloves at work, my hands are 80% of the time cold, i also have to work with frozen products and many times going outside in the snow, wich doesn't help.

I like weightlifting gloves by Harbinger, I have them in grey, dark green/black and tan/black Depending on what I’m doing. I use them to ride my bike and lift weights. Sometimes I pull them out even when it’s cold and I still need my tactile parts; my fingertips.

I’m not sure how much luck you will have buying for life in a physically demanding industry like yours, I would say maybe two years?

I mostly need to use my fingers, since I only hold tools with the rest of my hand, if there is no accidents.

That's why I'm interested on fingerless gloves, do you have a link?

Sure. And gloves really do go a long way I think for what you are doing. Just as long as there’s nothing risky going on of some kind of servo or motor starting leading to the glove getting trapped and injuring your hand. Like they always warn with rings and jewelry.
