HF has different gloves with heavier material. As a result the heavier weight gloves cost more.
And you have to buy a gazillion.

While I'll admit to taking a year or so away from my bike restorations, in the process of doing one, I'll go through 10 sets a day or more. When you are using that many, buying cheap, crappy ones that don't stretch or collapse at the first site of a petro-distillate.
I have been using the heavier blue version that HF sells but if you're a normal American, only get the XL size....if you've the hands of a Goliath, your screwed I would guess.
I found that by keeping my shop cool, I was able to nearly eliminate the sweating...caused by your hands trying to cool themselves....by cooling the area, the blood restricts to the extremities ie; hands. At 70F, my hands don't seem to sweat.

The Black Mamba gloves are awesome! All the local hvac supply houses carry them and they hold up well
I hate working in gloves. Think maybe my short fat hands don't fit gloves well and the finger tips are always flopping. I have used Invisible Gloves and it does work well when I know I will get greasy. Lather it on, let it dry some and work. It washes off pretty easy and takes the grease with it. Not perfect, but much better than not using it. I just need to remember to do it BEFORE you get into the work. That is usually my main problem.

I use Skintx nitrile 8-9 mil gloves. Last time I got a box of 500 from Amazon Warehouse for $51. The box was smashed up a bit, but they're gloves soooo ... 
Me too. I hate gloves. I just almost always get my hands dirty.
Rubber sweats and rips. It they are durable enough to not rip they are too thick and make my clumsy.
I'm just spoiled to the level of manual dexterity I have bare ape ****** and don't want to try harder with gloves on.
