A variety of gloves to suit various jobs would be required. For knife and Axe for bush crafting use, I use a pair of British Army combat hot weather gloves. These are mainly to reduce friction burns and blisters and they give a good supple feel. They are nice and cheap as well.

They can also be used in cooler weather when combined with a lightweight Merino wool Liner glove from EDZ.

For cold wet weather gloves I would use the Genuine issue British Army S95 gloves (if you can still get them), which are Goretex lined Leather gloves. These are very smart, functional and were reportedly very expensive to manufacture when they were originally made compared to the surplus cost.

Outdoor Designs do some nice Mountaineering mittens.

As for Kevlar, these are mainly for very specific needs such as working with glass etc. If a high degree of cut resistance is required stainless steel mesh gloves might be required.

MMA welding gloves, boxing gloves and Antarctic Mitts become quite difficult to use if you need to zip up a jacket or tie boot laces for example.

Also remember to tie some string/paracord to each end of the gloves and run them through your jacket sleeves like your mum used to do. Losing a glove in very cold weather can be become a survival issue.
