Hyper Tough Leather Palm Work Gloves vs Wells Lamont Cowhide Leather Work Gloves

The Hyper Tough is the better pick for general-purpose manual work in mild weather: full leather coverage over palm, knuckles, fingers and back, a safety cuff, and a 4.7 rating from 597 owners back it up. The Wells Lamont 1108 is the cold-weather glove: 100-gram 3M Thinsulate and fleece lining, split cowhide palm with patching, reinforced finger and thumb tips, and a Gunn cut with wing thumb for fit. Build quality is close; the Wells Lamont has more reinforcement detail, the Hyper Tough has more leather coverage for the money. Buy the Hyper Tough for year-round jobsite and yard work, the Wells Lamont if you work outdoors in winter.

• Choose the Hyper Tough if you want one leather glove for everyday construction, material handling and yard work in normal temperatures.
• Choose the Wells Lamont if you work outside in cold weather and want insulated cowhide with reinforced tips and a fitted Gunn cut.
