These things are a god send when racking wet hose after a fire. (BALTIMORE city fire department here)
I got these for a friend who works outside in all kinds of weather. They keep his hands warm and dry.
Wells Lamont 164 Heavyweight PVC Coated Glove, Cotton Lined, Knit Wrist, One-size, Orange, by Wells Lamont.
These PCV coated gloves with a fuzzy knit lining are a nice idea, but the "one size" is too small. The palm and thumb are a size medium, the fingers are size large. I have short fingers, so the finger size is ok, but I need a size XL to fit the thumb and palm area, without splitting the material between the thumb and middle finger due to a lack of slack in the palm material. I should be able to open my hand flat without restriction in the thumb to middle finger area. Wearing these gloves, if I am holding a snow shovel, my hand is closed enough to have slack in the palm area, but I can't open my hand flat. To fit everyone, these gloves should be made to fit a size XL or XX. People wearing a smaller size could wear glove liners to add warmth and fill up the glove. These gloves have insulating airspaces around the hands and fingers, but are too snug for adding wool glove liners for extra warmth, unless you have thin fingers. Gloves that are too snug will cause blood circulation restrictions, and a loss of warmth. Most men using these Wells Lamont gloves will get a better glove liner fit using thinner silk glove liners.

Great gloves, they are very well made and look like they will take a lot of abuse. I ordered them for my husband but they run very large. So I gave them to a friend who works in a Public Works Department. He has to clean out nasty, yucky things and loves them.
As expected !

The C&@9 I have to deal with is fairly deep, nasty and hazardous. Good for metal, though not for anything else. These gloves usually last three or four days. I wear them in all weather with nitrile/spandex gloves underneath. This is an excellent compromise between impact resistance, pinch & glove entrapment scenarios, and chemical resistance in all weather down to -20ºF where a similar mitten is required.
The worst case of chemical attack took out a pair of these in two days - the best I have done is to make a pair last ten days.
I work in an extremely aggressive environment with hammers, pry-bars, chains and wire rope of many sizes with a lot of grit, goo and petro-chemicals in all weather. ( Its actually quite fun, but expensive on P.P.E. ) I've bought dozens of pairs of these and I shall continue to do so.
Great gloves will buy again. 2nd month,only use for rainy days and to open juicy garbage compactor doors.
Great gloves ! I used them for work and they are great in the winter time racking fire hose! Great!
Very heavily coated, well made.
Good gloves and waterproof.
