I spent a few extra bucks on a nice pair of mechanics gloves. I like them because they fit tightly around my hands which allows me to manipulate small objects. I can tie knots easily without having to remove them. Plus they have some hard plastic around the knuckles and on top of the fingers to protect the tops of my hands.

I need to buy some water-proofing spray to coat them. I was using a simple pair of work gloves (the kind you get for around 7 bucks at the hardware store) the other day when it was raining and they got soaking wet. They were useless…and my hands were even colder in the gloves then without them.

Anyway, what do you guys carry? Just curious…
