I have used a few different brands trying to find gloves I like. Ringers long wrist are the best in my mind. I use them for almost everything. If its not hot or if there are no chemicals then I'm wearing my Ringers. In 5 years I have only gone trough 2 pair. I had a pair of Shelby gloves that used ONCE after that in the trash they went.
I have the Ringers Bartier 1 gloves, they seem to do the job good, plus they are... Waterproof and breathable, Hipora® barrier, protects against micro organisms such as TB, Hepatitis, Staph and HIV

For years I used orange mechanic's gloves as extrication gloves. Now I've got a pair of Ringers gloves with the barrier. They're kind of pricey, but well worth not having to deal with bloodborne pathogens and other gooey stuff (technical term) leaking through. Stay safe!
Ringers is the only glove that I'll vote for I've tried out several different companies but Ringer is a great glove that holds up great:)
Shelby i have tried a couple others but they did not last long enough .
Ringers deffinately! I buy em a size small so they stretch out to fit. If I think I need BSI then I'll throw on some nitril under em. The new barrier 1's feel like youre wearing a pair of boxing gloves.
