Totally agree on leather gloves in survival kits, not sure they’re required for EDC. I just happen to have both leather work-gloves and fingerless leather climbing gloves in my large-ish truck kit and if I’m going anywhere cold (be it northern latitudes or higher elevations) there will be gloves suitable for the temps. Just not sure they’re required for EDC.

Jeanette - following a hurricane in your neck of the woods, a good pair of work gloves would probably help in clean-up. You don’t want all the broken stuff (shards of glass, splinters of wood et al) causing you to break out one of your FAK’s... Just a thought. Again, probably not required for EDC.
