Knitwrist

ADVANTAGE

DISADVANTAGE

Helps keep the glove snug on the hand

Not good in a job where the gloves need to come on and off a lot

Safety Cuff

Gives more wrist protection

Acts as funnel for things to fall into the glove, depending on your job, say like woodchips or sparks

Gauntlet Cuff

Gives wrist and some forearm protection

Extra weight and overkill if you don't need the protection

Tipped Fingers

Added wear in the finger tip area

Decreased dexterity and tactile sensitivity

Top Grain Leather

Looks nicer and is softer and more flexible

Split (suede) leather is more abrasion resistant and cheaper

Palm Lining

Cushions the hand, absorbs sweat

Makes the glove more bulky and decreases hand/finger feel.

Welted Seams

Protects seams from heavy abrasive wear.

Makes the glove slightly less flexible, and the seams more bulky.

Double Leather Palms

Adds extra wear

Extra bulk and less flexibility and comfort

Inside Elastic on Back of hand

Not going to catch on branches, moving machine parts.

Can't snug them up for a tighter fit, like you can do with an outside elastic.

Cotton Back

Cooler and more flexibility

Less back of hand protection than an all leather styles.
