Over the course of the holidays I received a few Amazon gift cards, and would like to use some of it on work gloves. In the past, I've been using these gloves https://www.menards.com/main/grocery-home/clothing-accessories/gloves/work-gloves/rw-rugged-wear-reg-mens-split-leather-palm-leather-work-gloves-1-pair/7077/p-1642874303594265-c-7086.htm (see also image below), and they've been okay with each pair only costing a few dollars, but only lasting a few months.

I mainly use the gloves for brush hogging, brush cutting, chain sawing, stacking logs, burning brush, running a tiller, running an earth auger, lawn mowing, and hauling wood chips in a wheelbarrow. I'm willing to use gloves made out of any time of material (leather, petrochemicals, cloth, etc.), and the only real limitation is that the purchase has make Jeff Bezos even richer (ugh!) by being on Amazon.

Anyone have recommendations for a good glove that fits that criteria? Versions of the semi-disposable ones I've been wearing seem to be available on Amazon, but I'm open to trying other kinds.

I don't like wearing gloves and have an other brand of gloves hubby didn't like that I wear when I have to.

I do keep some cheap disposable gloves around for when I am situations where I know the gloves are likely to be damaged.   Due to a review I encountered somewhere on this site, I invested in some pricey gloves and do not regret it. These are the gloves I normally wear now:

Here's an off beat recommendation for work gloves to have around for freezing cold wet work

Japanese waterproof insulated fisherman gloves were recommended to me many years ago for hiking in cold, and I have enjoyed them much.  

They have just enough dexterity and grit for grip that I feel comfortable in them.  My choice was the insulated version, but there are non insulated versions.

I got mine a little larger (10/xl) so that I could wear other gloves inside.  

Even though I haven't used them continuously, they still hold up, flexible, just as brand new now 6 years later.

I just realize how this style of gloves could be useful to get work done in bad conditions.
