The leather gloves pictured are best suited for material handling because leather is a durable and protective material that can withstand the wear and tear of handling various materials. Leather gloves provide a good grip and dexterity, making them ideal for tasks that involve lifting, carrying, and moving objects. They also offer some level of protection against cuts, abrasions, and punctures, which are common hazards in material handling tasks.
