Bought these for use in obstacle fun runs like Warrior Dash, Mud Ninja and Tough Mudder. These things are INCREDIBLY grippy, and also very flexible. Worked very well on every obstacle surface. Ropes, Wood, Plastic. For 15$, very solid purchase for this use.
EDIT: After some thorough abuse at Mud Ninja I wanted to update. Obstacles races with some mud, these are great.. Mud races with obstacles, not so much. Once mud is impacted, its actually harder to climb out of pits due to the slick surface and no ability to dig your fingers.. For OCR's with lots of mud, making these fingerless would be the way to go. Would still take these over any other gloves I tired. The only way to make them better would be some hydrophobic coating to keep the mud/water off the rubbery surfaces.
Sadly, I lost one of my gloves in a bog because I took them off due to the trouble I had climbing out with them. Will be ordering another set for the next run though.
These are far and away the best general use and shooting gloves I've come across. They're like Mechanix, except they fit better, have better grip, are more comfortable, and are cheaper. I just ordered my second pair, but I'm going to fix the first pair so I can keep using them. I tried a pair of the regular tactical EXO gloves but in my opinion it's worth the price to go with the Grip versions. Compared to these, suede-palmed gloves feel slippery. I've used my first pair for over a year now, doing everything with them from mechanical jobs, auto work, framing, woodworking, shooting, you name it. They don't really provide any measure of cold resistance in terms of weather, but I find them very useful down to about 35 Fahrenheit as an insulator between my hands and cold metal tools and objects, and the snot rag on the thumb comes in handy. The dexterity of these gloves is excellent, second to none. I blew out some fingertips in my first pair by working with a lot of abrasives and making contact with the belt sander a few times, so it wasn't a surprise. I'll be patching them up with small pieces of leather to keep them going years more. They're that good.
I love these gloves. I'm using them as warehouse work gloves which require a lot of dexterity and grip which these provide. Similarly priced and fitting gloves at home depot don't last nearly as long as these. The grip WILL wear off in a few weeks of heavy use but I imagine most people aren't using these 8 hours a day like I do. The important part is they didn't have holes them after just a few days like other gloves I've tried.
At $15 they're a steal. If they were $25 like the other colors I might be more hesitant to use them as work gloves.
The grip is awesome, I bought them for use as I go up and down steps with wet railing these are perfect enough grip to be in total control but not too sticky. I bought a large depending on gloves I can take either that or an xl at first fit they were a little tight but after just 1-2 uses broke in nicely and fit like a second layer of skin which is what you want with these type of gloves vs driving gloves which a looser fit is usually preferred. For the price they can’t be beat in my opinion.
These gloves are both comfortable and durable. I work in a warehouse, so I use them on and off all day. They are a little more expensive than U-line brand gloves, but the grip is better (and will last longer, so long as you do not put these gloves in the dryer, if you wash them). The wrist closers are more secure, and unlike U-line’s gloves, pulling thes on and off frequently will not tear the wrist of the glove away from the palm after just a few months (better stitching, perhaps?). Anyway, if you need material/box handling gloves that will see heavy, frequent use, these are definitely worth paying a little extra for.

Description
The Realtree grip work glove's claim to fame is the silicone-fused palm. This added grip isn’t just printed on, it’s Fused into the palm through a heat process to make sure the grip never peels off. It also benefits from ironclad’s exclusive 16-point measurement system for best-in-class fit with a No bulk feel. The Realtree xtra camo on the back of hand is one of the best camo patterns on the market. This Realtree grip work glove is amazing!
These gloves can do anything and more amazing grip I can’t even describe…
Pictures are after a normal full day’s work very dirty wipe clean with water wet rag and they’re clean again with full grip!!! So far they are holding up strong. The measurement templit that the company provided was spot on, but make sure it’s to scale. the one that’s on Amazon has to been blowen up the correct size, I just used MS paint.
If they end up falling apart and not being with the money from not lasting long enough time I will change my review.
I really liked these gloves right out of the packaging. Comfortable, pretty light and good grip. Only thing is the stitching started to cone undone on one of the fingers. And the grip is fading. Only had them for about a week. Good design with the cloth too wipe your sweat, came in handy. Gone through quite a few pairs of gloves these by far are my "go-to" gloves. I expexted these to last longer but i would recommend these for sure. Especially working with boxes since i work at FedEx.
Really nice looking gloves, fit well, seem to be decently made. However after my third day using them ( to summarize I stack wooden pallets and throw around 20 - 30 lb boxes) the grippy cross hatching on the palms and fingers are starting to peel off...
Update: only the top layer of the silicone on the palms peeled off but still left a layer so they grip. I'm surprised they have held up for three months without the stitching coming undone. Will buy again in the future
Great grip! However not for cold weather. Excellent shooting gloves. Nice tight fit.
I ordered these gloves on April 30th. Today is June 10th. I work in a warehouse and use the gloves every day. These gloves are more durable and longer lasting than any other glove I have tried.
