Komentarz do 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:
Skórzane rękawice wiarek, podróżników lub lniaczy są podatne na zanieczyszczenie. Ale ten dla farbiarzy czy kowali jest czysty. Rabin Yose mówi: to samo dotyczy rękawic handlarzy przemiału. Taka jest ogólna zasada: to, co jest stworzone do przyjmowania czegokolwiek, jest podatne na nieczystość, ale to, co zapewnia jedynie ochronę przed potem, jest czyste.

English Explanation of Mishnah Kelim
The leather glove of winnowers, travelers, or flax workers is susceptible to uncleanness.
But the one for dyers or blacksmiths is clean.
Rabbi Yose says: the same law applies to the glove of grist dealers.
This is the general rule: that which is made for holding anything is susceptible to uncleanness, but that which only affords protection against perspiration is clean.
Today's mishnah deals with the purity of gloves. The general rule is stated clearly in section four: if the glove is made to protect the hand while holding potentially lacerating or irritating objects, then the glove is considered a receptacle and it is susceptible. However, if it is only made to prevent slippage due to sweat, then it is not susceptible. To use a modern case: a baseball fielder's mitt would be susceptible because it is meant to hold the ball. Without it, one would hurt one's hands. But a wide receiver's gloves are meant largely to give him a better grip on the ball and to prevent slippage due to sweat. Therefore they would probably be pure.
The mishnah itself is straightforward once we know the general rule, therefore I have refrained from commenting below.
