Cheetahs are what I use at work. In a heavy industrial environment they are great. (mining/smelters) They're also my glove of choice when on Lathe/Mills.

Thats them there. I run Large/XL but I have pretty decent sized hands. For most normal people a Medium is good. You do want them nice and firm as they do have a certain amount of stretch which makes the first 2 days of taking them off/on difficult but after that they fit, well like a glove.
