I've tried most makes of work gloves. I'm struggling with them all making your hands smell after wearing sat here Gipping.

I'm.guessing coming away from rubber is key.

Does anybody recommend any.

If you feel you need to wear gloves then you need to wear nitrile gloves underneath to stop your hands stinking. I used to wear showa 377 with nitriles underneath

Now I just wear the nitrile orange tiger gloves that mechanics wear as my hot water system keeps my hands warm in winter.
 
Treat them as disposable.
My summer gloves which I wear to keep my hands clean, cost about 40p each they last about 2-3 weeks.
I buy about 50 at a time.
My winter skytec ones last longer, but I’ll wash them once and then bin them after that. I use about 2 pairs throughout winter. The key is to never put wet hands in them.
 
Skytec Argon gloves, or similar, yes, your hands will smell like a rat has crawled inside and died. This is because your hands sweat before you realise it. I have found the only solution is not to wear them for too long and have 2-3 pairs to rotate. No more smelling like a dead rat.

I have a minimum of 2 pairs of different gloves probably 6 pairs or more in total which have been recommended over the years and I'll wear them for around an hour and then rotate.

The sealskinz ones sold at Soapnational are great.They have merino wool lining definately don’t make your hands smell & they are warm. Been using them for years.
Only thing to watch is if you are using wfp & you use your hand to guide the hose back on the reel then watch out for friction wear.Use maybe a couple of pairs a year.
