My favorites are (as is always the case) an Orvis Microfibre glove that showed up and was discontinued.  I wish I had 5 pairs. Hand sweat eats finishes. Wear gloves.

Always gloves. Orvis deerskin, with the trigger finger cutout. Not good in the rain though.

One factor to consider is personal chemistry . Some folks can look at a gun and rust it, others not so much . I only ware them when its cold or in a flurry type situation.
I like and used to sell(before supply got unpredictable) Grip Swell gloves.

I wear gloves most of the upland season if I'm hunting in the thick tangles and thorny thickets. Its mainly to protect my hand from getting torn and also to push branches away from my face and gun. I like very thin goat skin gloves. They are hard wearing and offer pretty good protection while also be extremely thin and maintaining my finger's tactility.

I only wear UnderArmour gloves, actually they're about like a glove liner. They are very thin, and offer no protection from briars, etc., but they do help protect a little from the cold, and they're camo, which helps when shooting doves and ducks. You lose little of your tactile sense with them on, and the gripping surfaces are thin silicone rubber coated. I buy my guns to use. I don't worry about sweat and dirt harming the gun's finishes. Isn't that what we call "honest wear"? SRH https://www.underarmour.com/en-us/mens-ua-camo-coldgear-liner-glove/pid1203060-943

I picked up a pair of HEAD gloves at Costco that work very well. I would love to find a pair of leather gloves that are comfortable. For some reason I am very particular about how the seams rub against my hands.

I use to never wear gloves but my old hands feel a lot better wearing golf gloves when handling my doubles. Bobby
