Thank you Peter, for reading comments: these HydraHydes are the GOAT... pun intended! I use these gloves every day as a commercial electrician; they don't last forever with structural steel & sharp EMT around, but these are the longest lasting, AND I can wash them every week to get the sweat out. And once they are washed & treated (I use a shoe polish with Mink oil), they are the most tactile, like a 2nd skin.
GOAT is the right term, I work with leather for the last 30 years. Looked it up and found no info but that leather looks like goat leather. Very good for gloves, dense fibers and the lanolin that is left in the leather makes it plyable after being wet. Anyways, still makes me happy how you service your gloves. Many people donˋt know that the sweat destroys leather because of itˋs acidity. But washing it washes off the oils in the leather as well. So you do a perfect job. My advice would be to wash the gloves with leather soap and put it between a towel and press to get as much water out as you can. Bring the gloves to shape ( get in and out and try to maintain the shape of the hand. And never dry leather on a heater. If you use lether soap you will not even need to put more oil on it, it will give the leather enough oils back. I use Fiebigˋs leather soap.
Thanks so much. Now that’s some really good info. The pile of worn gloves you saved really puts the overall cost into perspective. Good gloves are worth the money when they last like you’ve shown!
I have worked at a equipment rental yard for the last 9 years. Chaining down equipment to trailers, busting tires, maintenance etc…..Gloves, I have tried them all. Wells Lamonte gloves are the best by far….btw the next thickness up are great to for heavier jobs…
But be aware sometimes too. They can be a lesser quality of the same brand. Like name brands can make thinner fabric for the warehouse stores. Still nice but for the small top echelon of heavy users and abusers, it's not always top quality. I love them too. Their holiday cookies this year might not be so much however. Still looking for the sauerkraut.
Friend, I feel like he is right handed from watching his videos. Maybe when he needs to reach with his left, he has less finger dexterity and as such, causes more wear when reaching or turning with that hand. But, just a guess. Based on past video and usage.
I bought these strictly from your recommendation. I managed to put a hole in the fingertip in the first week of use, just setting up bolt less shelving. They’re still holding up and are my go to gloves.
Rawhide gloves last! I have some of those craftsman too. Think I got mine at Walmart and use it for the house as well. I think thicker than yours, but leather in the wear points and flexible in others. It's really wonderful. But they were like $15! I looked just now and they don't have them anymore. 2016 Midwest Quality and goatskin! LOL. Maybe I can suggest you dip the wear points into something that won't eat through the glove? Maybe epoxy? Or JB? Silicone rubber rtv or #fipg? I see you like to tinker so maybe next time you are doing something with that stuff, try it for us.
Give the Ansell Hyflex 11-518 Cut Resistant a try they're the thinnest most durable gloves I've used doing electrical mechanical work. can also do about any small tedious tasks as well
BTW, did you see that Harbor Freight has new US General full bank service carts? They look pretty sweet. Curious if you'd buy that brand again having owned a few for a while now? Thinking of replacing my old, worn out Craftsman set that my dad gave to me decades ago.
@@yzrippin I get the leather impact version, 35 dollars each, last 4x longer than the black version of same glove. I use them for my motorcycle, and that's how I know. The black ones get holes in fingers just from the grips in just 6 months, I'm on year 3 with leather
@@mblake0420 wonderful bro. I ride and also operate heavy equipment/labor work. Will try the mechanics leathers. Any link so i know what exactly to look for? Usually get a month or two out of regular fabric mechanics.
We've been buying Wells Lamott all leather gloves from Costco for years now. Can't beat their value for money. 👐

Thanks! Based on your review and experience with them I just ordered 2 pair. One for me and one for my wife.
Always a good vid, thanks for sharing 👍🏽
When Costco carries an item their prices are usually unbeatable.

Peter must be left-handed.

I have great luck with westchester gloves.
Where could I possibly buy these gloves?
Costco
Amazon carries them too but not at $20 for 3 pair.
I think I have two pairs of those yellow gloves. Are yours insulated? Mine are definitely insulated
Showa 541's are the best
Sponsorship???
