Picking a durable yarn

I’m pretty new to knitting. Grew up with family that knitted and was always fascinated.

My question…
I’m going to make some fingerless gloves for Christmas presents. My brother climbs cell phone towers, and my Dad does woodworking. Both in cold climates in the winter. I want to use a durable yarn…if that makes any sense…

My pattern calls for bulky yarn. My husband has found a yarn called fishermans wool. But it’s not a bulky yarn.

A little stumped and want to pick the right yarn.

Thanks for helping a newbie.
