What structure gloves do you wear?

Well, what gloves do you wear for structure gloves? I'm shopping for a new pair and just wanted some opinions of stuff other people are wearing.

Thanks
Austin

I am wearing a pair of gloves from American Firewear that are made out of Kangaroo hide. In the last 33 years I have tried many gloves and these are probably the best pair that I have found for structural firefighting. They are a bit bulky but they are very flexible with good dexterity, provide good grip, easy to wash and care for, wet or dry they are easy to put on,(a huge plus in my book)and they have not yet gotten hard, brittle or stiff. I have worn them for 3+ years now and they are still in pretty good shape so I guess because of their durability they really aren't over priced at a hundred bucks a pair.

We have the protech 8 gloves and we really like them. The fingertips are sewn in so when your gloves are wet you don't pull the lining out.
