Here is what I found to work the best for me when I was doing that kind of
work.

You get the leather shells and the wool liners.

When you are doing fine work that requires your fingers you can remove the
shell and just use the liners, when you are doing masonry or other heavy
work you can use the combo or in the summer just the shells.

It's a very versatile combination and certainly keeps your hands warm and
cost under $20.

It took years to wear out the shell and at that it only wore a small hole in
two of the fingers.
