I have yet to have a pair of Mechanix wear out quickly, or rip at the seem. I have a pair of Fastfit that I use at work that have been going strong for over a year.

The Nomex gloves are a great option.

For hunting and in the field I like deer skin gloves. I buy factory seconds from a local manufacturer. Check out their web site at http://www.sullivanglove.com.

For around camp I like goat skin.

I usually have two pairs of gloves, in cold winter maybe three. I have Nomex flight gloves, which is what gets used 90% of the time, a good heavy pair of repelling gloves for heavy work and picking up very hot things and in the winter a good warm glove or mitten with changeable inserts. The flight gloves do get the most use. I picked those because that is what I had from my previous life, and they work. I have other types of gloves, and generally will not go out without a good stout pair of leather gloves. A hand injury can become pretty serious if in a remote area, so protection is important.
