Is that good or bad that tight between thumb an first finger ? A high wear point

Yup

I think most gauntlets are made in factories that only use PT or temp help. Maybe that's the problem with your gloves?

Usally have 2 pr on hand for trapping, still use old cheapy boots yet an not broke out new pr cheapy boots I got last summer but old boots maybe leak soon, still have pr Dan's heavy ins boots ready go with maybe half tread for cold weather , very few traps out start today for the first an mid part week anyhow , so got 2 pair cold creek gauntlets with shoulder strap insulated , this morning I see common wear place , between thumb an first finger, small hole, common place for gloves to wear so got new pr out for tomma, should start use tongs for 110 s to set them so easier on gloves ? The other new pr got 4 weeks of fairly heavy use bfore hole , not extremely heavy like long liner or they last few days , not really a way patch them so anyone recommend good gauntlets with shoulder strap

For those willing to accept advice, you can buy 6 pairs of these and wear white cotton or brown jersey gloves under them, for the price of the ones you get at trap supply places. Each pair will last probably as long. https://www.harborfreight.com/oil-resistant-pvc-long-cuff-gloves-99677.html

I have had at least 3 pairs in past that leak right away, factory defect
