Looking for durable gloves

So I have been replacing my gloves every season for about the last 5 years, basically have just been buying some cheap ones from my local store and they end up getting shredded and torn up from my edges, doing hand drags, and fingering OP's mom. So I decided its finally time to get some really solid gloves that can last me a while, anyone have some good recommendations on a good durable glove?

Kinco Axeman/901t

Theyre like $15 and have lasted me 4+ seasons. Just need to waterproof them. Super warm glove as well.

Yeah get a Kinco axeman or glove made for the cold and just waterproof them with https://www.amazon.com/Atsko-Sno-Seal-Original-Waterproofing-Protector/dp/B00O9OA01W. They will last forever. If you have the dough, buy a hestra, I've found them to be more comfortable and naturally waterproof than Kincos but I only bought them because I found them for a crazy sale.

Anything that's thick leather like flylow, kinco, black diamond, etc. should last you a good while. Get yourself some nikwax to waterproof.

Depends on budget. Kinco makes some good cheap gloves (>$25) but Black Diamond Equipment has really high-quality gloves, but most come at a price. Try these:
