Recovery Gloves (Leather)

If your vehicle is fitted with a winch this is one of the most important (and often forgotten) accessories you can pack.  Gloves are essential when handling winch cables or any other recovery equipment to save yourself from possible injuries. 

Of course, these have a more general use when working on your vehicle on the side of the trail, keeping your hands warm, dry and relatively clean.

We always keep a set in the front pocket of our vehicles to keep our hands (and therefore our steering wheel) clean when using diesel pumps at service stations!
