In warm water don’t wear gloves unless I’m doing a wreck dive. (and then only about 1/2 the time) Most the "tropical" gloves have a leather palm and some kind of spandex or nylon on the back side. That’s all I wear when I wear gloves. I don’t like wearing gloves, and if I wear gloves in the cold water...I wear tropical gloves. My hands just don’t get that cold most of the time.
The Mechanix wear gloves will work fine for protection. But if you’re wearing out gloves after 5 dives, you must be doing a lot of touching, try touching less and you’re gloves will last longer. ; )
