Whether you are splitting firewood with an axe or carving a totem pole, you hands deserve to be properly protected. These gloves, made by Swedish leather craftsman Kent Jonsson, have nothing to do with the work gloves commonly available at tool stores. They take on the shape of your hand like a second layer of skin, absorb sweat and improve your grip. The vegetable-tanned reindeer leather is elastic yet will not deform or tear. The leather is lightly impregnated to protect it from dirt and water marks. The long cuffs make these gloves excellent for driving convertibles and motorcycles.
