I have several pairs I had made for me from one of my elk hides. Several pair of leather riding gloves (equestrian) and 4 or 5 pair of the leather palmed canvas work gloves. A several pairs of tactical gloves from Uncle Sam's Misguided Children.

Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me Liberty or give me death." Patrick Henry, Virginia House of Burgesses, March 23, 1775

“The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.” ~ G.K. Chesterton
I have found that I depend upon gloves more and more. I use both cloth and leather gloves. The ones that I use the most are those that are and insulated cloth with a rubberized palm and fingers. I found that they worked great when I was working with concrete block. Then I started using them for finishing concrete and it saved my hands. I generally go through a couple pair a year. Then I started using them for general yard work and found them not really that good. When dealing with thorns they would easily get punctured but I still used them. Recently I got stuck by a Barberry that when I took it off there was just a small black spot where the thorn broke off, it didn't hurt, I decided to take it out anyway, and it was over a ¼ long, not good in a SHTF situation. Since we are talking worst case scenario I have started rethinking my preps with gloves. Leather is far superior then the cloth, for longevity and protection. It is for that reason that I am stocking bunch more leather gloves. I figure that more injuries that can be prevented the less chance of getting infection which in a SHTF situation can be fatal.
I'm partial to the rubberized cloth gloves myself. I feel like I lose too much dexterity with the leather gloves.
Probably why I don't wear gloves too often. The cloth ones do puncture easily, as already said, and they're worse than bare hands for me in the winter. At least after they get wet.
