Put some gloves on!!! you're hurting me!!! Seriously, the light weight Nitrile on the working side, fabric on the back side are perfect. They last, one pair will last 5 or 6 days of Arkansas Quartz digging and then I use the same pair for home yard and garden work for several months after before tossing.

I like the feel without gloves in most instances. On the other hand, I have been cut badly by quartz, so you suggestion is warranted

I do not like the traditional heavy gloves as their thickness does not provide a good touch-feel. The lightweight gloves provide good protection as well as being able to feel crystals in the pocket I am working.
There's been more than one time over the years where I commented on how "red" the clay was and then realized it was my blood coloring it!!
None of them provide very good protection aganist a mis-targeted hammer blow!! That's why I use the chisels with guards.

When I got back to my truck and looked back at the site and it looked like a murder scene.
