Talmud for Kelim 16:6

קְסָיָה שֶׁל זוֹרֵי גְרָנוֹת, שֶׁל הוֹלְכֵי דְרָכִים, שֶׁל עוֹשֵׂי פִשְׁתָּן, טְמֵאָה. אֲבָל שֶׁל צַבָּעִין וְשֶׁל נַפָּחִין, טְהוֹרָה. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר, אַף שֶׁל גָּרוֹסוֹת כַּיּוֹצֵא בָהֶן. זֶה הַכְּלָל, הֶעָשׂוּי לְקַבָּלָה, טָמֵא. מִפְּנֵי הַזֵּעָה, טָהוֹר:

The leather glove of winnowers, of travelers, or of flax workers is susceptible to impurity. But the one for dyers or blacksmiths is pure. Rabbi Yose says: the same applies to the glove of grist dealers. This is the general rule: that which is made for receiving anything is susceptible to impurity, but that which only offers protection against perspiration is pure.
