Recommendations?

Anyone here have any suggestions on a good pair of gloves? I'm looking for something a little thinner so as to use a scanner but durable to handle boxes all day. I bought some mechanix gloves but they only lasted three months. I was hoping a FedEx out ups employee would be in here to provide some feedback.

Heavy C, I don't know what to recommend to you, because I'm lucky to have a pair of high quality leather gloves last me three weeks - I'd say three months is really getting your money's worth.

Well they actually didn't really last that long but I still use them. They should have been thrown out a while ago. I'm just holding out until I find a better pair. And I don't use these for anything other than handling my boxes during deliveries. Anything to do with the truck I have a separate pair of leather gloves

Dang flatbedders are rough on the equipment aintcha. 8)

I can't say I have the experience that you are looking for, but, While working at an amusement park on third shift I had to pull these little 5 cubic yard dumpsters. This meant having to pick the dumpster tongue up and hitch it to my pickup, or another dumpster, then take it off and push it onto a set of arms on the compactor. I would do this 8-10 hours a day 6 days a week. I did this during the entire operating season of the park.

I hated the big thick gloves so I went to walmart...they had gloves made of Deerskin that velcro around the wrist(I think they were like $12-$14. I was hesitant but I bought them to try them out.....they lasted the rest of the season I was in and then some.....the next year I went back and got another pair, they lasted the whole season. Keep in mind I was doing this in all sorts of weather conditions, from Heavy rain to even some snowfall. Worst thing that would happen is that when they got soaked through and I laid them on the defroster to dry, they would get a little stiff. but after putting them on and working a little bit they loosened right up. I continued buying them for 3 more years till I finally left the job.

I was at Walmart the other day but I forgot to get them...I figured they would be a good thing to have considering I'm hitting the bus to Prime Saturday.
