Split cowhide leather palm gloves

Overview:
Split Cowhide Leather Palm Gloves are a type of handwear in Our Worldly Woes.

Description:
These gloves are a special type of work glove used primarily for heavy duty tasks before the outbreak. They offer a reasonably reliable way to protect your hands when doing hard work that requires little to no dexterity of the fingers. They are double-layered on the palm with thick, split-cowhide leather which contributes to it's highly durable but inexpensive nature. The leather on the palms extends up and over the distal phalanges (fingertips) of each finger and thumb, except for the index finger which is fully enclosed in leather. Leather also covers the knuckles and the thenar space (webbing between the index finger and the thumb). These gloves have a safety cuff that offer additional protection on the wrists and a polyester backing for breathability of the hand. They store flat against each other but are relatively heavy because of all the material it's made with. These gloves are tough, cheap, dependable, and widely available.

Statistics:
Leather Palm gloves offer a substantial amount of durability and protection for the cost of manual dexterity. These gloves offer dexterity penalties so they are not gloves to wear when using firearms or when lockpicking, for example. These gloves are best suited for blunt-melee characters with larger weapons, as characters using some bladed weapons may find dexterity important. These gloves are also useful for many survival chores such as chopping wood or digging, but for traveling there are sometimes better options.
