I use mountain bike gloves. They have padded/armored rears designed to protect your hands from getting lashed by branches and twigs, reinforced palms, very breathable and most importantly they're still thin enough to provide excellent tactile feedback. The model I have (older generation FOX Sidewinders) have rubbery finger tips for improved grip, allowing you to manipulate things without slippage.
I use/abuse these for a lot of things, from airsoft to driving to camping to weights. They're fully washable and after 8 years they're still in great shape.
