Cheap Hands On brand from Walmart...3 pairs for $6...I've been wearing this pair since just after labor day. I cut the finger tips for easy HIN writing and texting. Only thing is I have to wash them twice a week or they start to smell like sweaty monkey !

I've been wearing the Ironclad Box Handlers for about 7 -8 years now. I love them like crazy. I have a heavy industrial route so I only get 2 moths or so out of a pair. About $15/pair on Amazon.
And these are the best gloves I have found that I can still get into my pockets with and use the DIAD as normal.

i got a pair like this one time, only lasted 2 weeks. i usually buy the cheapest gloves now since i know next week i will need new ones.
i used to buy a pair from home depot years ago that lasted a month but now all they sell is gorilla grip brand which i wouldn't waste my money on.

My bare hands do just fine.

Gloves... ::sigh::

They just get in my way more than they help.

The extra grip of the glove makes the packages seem lighter.

Jibbs...I thought the same thing. I didn't wear gloves for 8 years and thought I'd have a hard time getting used to it....but I'm glad I started. My hands stay much cleaner...and no more cuts and splinters lifting heavy wooden crate irregs.

Exactly. You can grab larger packages with one hand. I would wear gloves with the rubber coating all year long

Gloves are like shoes for your hands.

Or are shoes like gloves for our feet?

Besides grip, anyone know of gloves that keep the hands warm? It gets too cold inside those trailers during the Winter.

Nope....still get a better grip than with bare hands...I would waste my time wearing them otherwise.

You can get the 'grip' gloves in a thicker "insulated" style, and some thin glove liners to wear inside them.
