Ironclad EXO Leather Impact Glove vs Wells Lamont HydraHyde Leather Palm Work Gloves

The Wells Lamont HydraHyde is the better all-around glove for wet, dirty outdoor work: its water-resistant cowhide and adjustable Velcro wrist beat the Ironclad EXO on weather and fit. The Ironclad EXO is the more dexterous glove, with a soft goatskin palm that suits mechanics and tool use where feel matters more than water resistance. Owners of the HydraHyde call it durable and comfortable but note sizing runs large, so size down. The EXO is a lighter-duty general-purpose glove with no impact protection and no waterproofing.

• Choose the Ironclad EXO if you want a soft, supple goatskin glove for tool use, light construction and repair work where dexterity matters.
• Choose the Wells Lamont HydraHyde if you work outdoors in damp or messy conditions and want a water-resistant leather glove with a snug adjustable wrist.
