Hello /diy/. I don't see a similar thread here so I'm gonna DIY one...

I'm a roofer most of the year, and I have a love/hate with my gloves. I'm seeking recommendations for something different. I use something similar to pic related, and basically go through a pair or two for each roof I do. I like that they grip they way they do, which basically adds two additional points of grip on steep pitches. I also like that they preserve my fingertips with all of the shingle handling. They're pretty decent but with a heavy caveat...they absolutely suck when they get wet. The moisture stays trapped inside and wrinkles your fingers for the rest of the day, and the grip sucks dangerously when you're pulling wet bundles off the boom onto a roof. I'd like to think there has to be a better solution, but to be honest I feel like roofers are somewhat ignored compared to the other trades when it comes to the variety of durable protective clothing of all sorts.

While I'm waiting for some quality feedback, feel free to post the gloves you like to use for whatever you do with them, and be sure to add a pic and state what it is you do and why you like them.

I'm sure you likely already know about these at HD.



Right now they are on sale.



I use them for general construction, garage work, etc. They are cheap enough that I feel like I got my $$ worth by the time they are worn out.



Not sure how they would hold up with shingles...

Thanks
