10 Best Impact Gloves
for October 2023

These Craftsman-style gloves are everything you could want in a work glove. They're durable, comfortable, and enough dexterity to handle most jobs. The TPR back of hand protector is a very nice feature, and the gloves' touchscreen fingertips and terry cloth sweat wipe are especially useful. These gloves are heavy, and they do tend to bunch up under the wrist, which makes it difficult to wear them for long periods of time. But the tradeoff is that they're well ventilated, so your hands stay cool. They're great for construction, package handling, tool pushing, and heavy construction, and if you're doing yard work or manual labor, they're a great buy.

These gloves have a comfortable, more flexible fit and they work much better for gripping than some of our previous top picks. They also have adequate impact protection for most jobs, and the fabric on the back of the hand absorbs vibration and impact when working with your hands, so you can continue to use your hand without feeling the harsh sting of rough screw heads or jagged metal edges. The gloves are very warm, which makes them ideal for cold weather jobs, and the best feature is the sweat wipe on thumb, which makes it much easier to quickly remove sweat from your face without having to remove the glove. The gloves fit true to size, and the cuff has a zipper, so you can easily adjust for your preferred fit. The gloves are slightly more expensive than our top pick, but they are well-made, comfortable, and durable. The free shipping is also a nice perk.

The gloves are best suited for light-duty tasks, but for heavy-duty tasks, the gloves may be a bit too big.

The Vgo Cow Leather Work Gloves are a good pair of gloves for working with your hands. These gloves are designed specifically for impact protection, so they're ideal for working with machinery, and for construction, auto mechanics, and home improvement. The gloves are thin, but thick enough to protect your hands, and the back of the gloves is perforated, and the leather feels sturdy. The gloves are touchscreen compatible, so you can use it for your phone or tablet without taking off the gloves. The gloves are machine washable, though we'd recommend hand washing them. The leather is thick enough to hold its shape after several washes, but thin enough that it's not stiff.

The Magid Glove & Safety Multipurpose Impact Glove is among our top picks for several reasons. First, it's one of the best impact gloves we've ever tested. The glove's reinforced thumb saddle is one of the strongest we've ever seen, and its elasticized wrist cuff ensures that it stays in place as you swing. The glove's elastic design also makes it more comfortable than many other impact gloves.

The glove's ultrathin design also makes it highly portable, and it weighs about a third less than many other impact gloves, making it great for athletes or people on the go. The glove's palm coating is a bit too sticky for our liking, but it's a minor complaint in an otherwise impressive package.

They're a great fit for everyday tasks like mowing the lawn or trimming hedges, and they fit snugly enough that they're not uncomfortable.

The only drawback is the slightly stiff fit, which can be uncomfortable when wearing heavy work gloves.

These gloves do a great job of protecting your hands against impact, and they keep your hands cool and comfortable. The snug fit, flexible back, and non-skid design of these gloves make them a good choice for a variety of tasks, including construction, yard work, and lifting. The increased grip and reinforced finger guards of these gloves make them a good choice when lifting heavy objects, and the extra TPR protection on the knuckles and fingers makes them feel more sturdy than some of the other impact work gloves we tested. However, the gloves are bulkier and heavier than most impact work gloves, so they're probably not a good choice if you need to wear these gloves while golfing, for example. These gloves also don't offer as much protection against abrasions, so they're not a good choice if you need to work in dry, dusty conditions.
