These gloves are a solid pair which will last a good while under moderate to heavy use. Currently, I work as a package handler for FedEx and I purchased these gloves to serve as a replacement for the generic, polyurethane gloves provided by the company. I held back on a review until I was able to truly test the quality of these gloves.
Pros: Good overall grip, and the extra interior padding between the thumb and index finger is a great feature. They fit well and and they definitely help to keep your hands cool and reduce that grimy sweaty feeling some people tend to get after long use.
Cons: Not totally a fan of the velcro strap used to tighten the glove, and it would help if the gloves were a bit longer down the wrist, as the grip is sometimes so good that it will start to pull the glove from your hand if you attempt to pull the straps on heavier items. Also, more importantly, is that the fingertips, just like everyone else has said, just seem to disappear before your eyes, which is incredibly frustrating, as the rest of the glove is in excellent shape after about a month of usage.
Overall, this is a good pair of gloves if you don't plan on doing hours of work with you hands on a day-in and day-out basis. I personally will enjoy the remaining usage out of these gloves, and attempt to find a more durable pair to serve as a long term replacement.
I have been using the box handler gloves but for a few dollars less I thought I would give these a try. There are only a few superficial difference and nothing to warrant the 2 to 4 dollar difference depending on which day you try to buy them. i prefer these around my wrist because of an old injury and these actually cove more of them and protects the old wound. they seem more breathable not that the box handler gloves where not breathable but these seem a little more breezy. the Velcro strap is thinner but really does not seem to make much difference. Over all they are good gloves at the price for using at work lifting and moving boxes all day. They will normally last about a month before wearing out.
I work for a major shipping company—I know, you've seen that review before—and I really, really like these gloves. I want to give it five stars, but, after two full work weeks, the grip on the fingers is wearing through, so I don't think these gloves will last me quite as long as I was hoping. However, these gloves are comfortable and go well with package handling. I've tried many brands, and this brand is by far my favorite, even compared to pricier, heavier duty gloves that I've tried.
These are probably ideal if you work for a retailer or stocking, but they're slightly less ideal if you're doing in-bound for a big shipping company, although, for the price, they're still well worth it. I'll definitely be ordering again.
Edit: It has now been a little over a month since I purchased these gloves, but they got their first hole today, a split on the left index finger where the seam is between the cloth material and the, I assume, leather of the finger. These have lasted much longer than any other glove I've worn while working this job. Already ordered a new pair.
Used these gloves during a Spartan Beast in Killington VT, never would have been able to complete some obstacles after the 9 mile mark without them... grip stayed wicked tight the full 6 hours I was out there even going through water, mud, babedwire along with grabbing trees and roots to pull myself along... are they a little beat up... sure... can I get another race out of them I think so, but for the price, I'll stock up... best gloves I've tried yet... Mechanics are good to, just not oil and mud resistant like these...
These have a great gripping surface, but that rubs off pretty quickly with hard use. In fairness though, these are the best gloves I've been able to find for my application. The only thing: the fingers are kinda long, so it took some time to get used to. I'm on my 4TH pair of these, and I'll be buying more.

These gloves work very well. I used them while box handling, address label attachment, and shifting through paperwork. They have sticky and rough spots in the correct areas. The palm area is very grippy while the back side is mesh like breathable to stop hands from overheating. I have tried other gloves that only last 2 weeks if that. I have used these for a month and they are still good.
I've ordered these four times, and received three different styles of glove!??!! Only received correct style twice out of four! Packaging is great! Glove is great. The wrong styles I received we're alright but not as durable as the gripworxx style, even the pricier box handler weren't as sturdy.. one type they sent lost their grip in a week!!?? Actual gripworx style is the best they have! Amazon Prime Rocks!!
Love these gloves. They are comfortable and, when dry, can really grip the rims of my wheelchair allowing me better movement and navigation. They do not, however, work in the rain or when wet (ie. snow, slush). They usually last me around 4 months with daily use, indoor and out. One pair came apart around the "grips" on the palm and occasionally they fray after a couple of months. Understandably they are not designed for constant daily use as wheelchair gloves but they serve that purpose for me and are comfortable to wear.
I really like these gloves! In my opinion they are way better than the more popular brand, they're comfortable, plenty of flexibility, I love the terry cloth feature for wiping sweat in the heat or a runny nose in the cold and they offer plenty of protection but in my field of construction I can't seem to get more than a few days out of 1 pair.
My go-to work gloves. Very durable and last a long time. My only gripe would be the sticky material on the palms and fingers tends to wear off within a few weeks, Other then that the gloves are put together pretty tough
