Buying guide

What to look for in a leather palm glove

These gloves are simple, so the details are what set them apart.

Palm leather

Shoulder split cowhide is thick and durable. Side split is a bit more consistent. Grain pigskin adds feel and breathability.

Reinforcement

Double palms and patched palms add a second layer where gloves wear out first, which helps on rough materials.

Cuff style

A safety cuff is a short, stiff cuff that's easy to pull off fast. A knit wrist keeps out debris and holds the glove snug.

Insulation

Lined and insulated versions add warmth for cold mornings and outdoor work.

Good to know

Full back or standard back?

A standard leather palm glove has leather on the palm and fingertips, with fabric on the back. A full back glove carries the leather over the back of the hand too.

Full back styles last longer when you're reaching into rough spaces or handling material that scrapes the back of your hand.

Built for the everyday grind.

What's the difference between shoulder split and side split?

Both are split cowhide from different parts of the hide. Shoulder split is thicker and a bit rougher. Side split tends to be more uniform.
