be a journeyman carpenter in the Chicago area and face extremely cold temperature in the winter I be always look for a good fitting glove . this glove fall apart very quickly if worn everyday for one week . unfortunately there be not a lot of alternative glove out there for a carpenter to wear in the winter . these glove wear out fast and do not keep you hand very warm . the only good thing about the glove be that they allow for a tight grip . I wish someone would develop a real glove for carpenter .
