Fingers are longer on the medium size, whereas the large size has a larger palm, but shorter fingers. Medium is perfect for me.
Overall excellent gloves; wears well, secure fitting, without compromising dexterity. Have worn through a dozen pairs throughout the process of building an entire house, where I've done nearly all labor: foundation, structural, electrical, plumbing, insulation, doors, glazing, siding, finish, trim, etc... Gloves are a perfect option for this type of work - such a secure/non-slip grip, without a loss to dexterity.
Also wear these during extensive metalwork (e.g. handling of steel before/after welding). While I don't recommend making it a habit...the gloves do pass heat fast enough, you'll tear your hands off that too-hot piece before burning yourself, or through the gloves. I'd certainly like to see a kevlar option; to minimize cut risks when working with sheet metal.
Wife and I love the gloves for yardwork as well; maintains dexterity, keeps the hands clean, prevents blisters, but the hands do get wet if you're digging/planting with your hands.
Only time these gloves were not my overall goto, was during demolition...they're a bit too thin for the abuse that hands will take during this phase.
The MaxiDry version works absolutely wonderful for vehicle work; helping minimize exposures to solvents/paints/oils.
Excellent value. For some odd reason at the time of purchasing these and writing this review, the item title and description somehow failed to mention that this includes 12 pairs of gloves. I assumed as much but wasn't sure, but decided to take the risk. Suffice to say, I am VERY happy I did. These are awesome gloves. No frills, durable, and very comfortable. Medium fits me perfectly (5'7" male with average sized hands) - so perfectly that while wearing them I can still use my fine motor skills surprisingly well (but don't expect to be able to use your iPhone while wearing them). I genuinely forgot I was wearing them at a couple points today. Highly recommended.
Bought them for a crew but kept them for myself. I purchased 12 pairs in Nov. of 17’, I gave one pair away and intended on giving away another 5 until I had them on for a hour and loved them. I kept 11 pairs and 15 months later I still have 3-4 pair left with decent life left. When they get dirty I keep them on my hands and wash with antibacterial hand soap then lay them on a towel. They wear great, fit like skin, don’t smell, and clean up nicely. Well worth the money spent and 12 more pairs will take me into the middle of 2020. If you need a pair, order 3...rotating use and washing in my opinion extends the life of any one glove and keeps a clean pair at the ready for a bit so dirty task. Best gloves I’ve ever had, far better than any of the $20-$30 offerings. And I’ve found that a pair of nitrile gloves under these saves my hands from the effects of concrete and moisture as they’re not waterproof.
Great gloves. I'm an electrician and use them every single day at work. I pretty much can no longer work without them. The protect my hands, but they also are thin enough so I can retain dexterity when working with small hardware, screws, etc. Been using them for years and will continue to do so.
You will definitely get what your pay for with these ATG 34-874/M MaxiFlex Ultimate gloves.
A premium price point, but I never really appreciated work gloves until I came across this pair.
It's difficult to describe just how much more natural your hand feels in these gloves, but once you wear them, you'll realize there must have been quite a bit of engineering done to produce gloves that move like these. The flexible nylon material is incredibly comfortable, and is fused with the Micro-Foam Nitrile coating in a way that gives each finger a great range of motion.
You'll gain a lot more dexterity with these gloves on. It definitely makes my work more enjoyable.

I have been wearing these gloves for a couple of years now and of all the different types I have used, these are by far the best. As a commercial electrician, I deal with all manner of hazards. Whether it is using a bandsaw to cut conduit or working around steel framing, my hands are constantly exposed to some form of danger. While they are by no means damage proof, they have definitely prevented slices and cuts in the field - A fact I am all too well aware of, having worked for years without gloves.
Better yet, I almost never have to take them off to complete my job. I've mastered peeling my electrical tape with the gloves on, working with smaller gauge wires, and other precision based tasks. With daily use, these things can last weeks, assuming you don't sweat heavily or get them wet. While they may not be the best for heavy construction, they more than get the job done for nearly everything else.
I can't say enough about how much I like these gloves. The rubberized coating on the palm wraps around to all the vital areas providing protection for your hands and still maintaining the necessary dexterity to work with small screws and nuts. I work in the industrial electrical field so you can imagine all the different scenarios in which I need to rely on them to provide adequate protection. They wash well and can be used many times doing so. Take note of the sizes though. If you are in need of dexterity order them a little small. I normally wear a large glove, between I buy these in medium, they're a bit difficult to get on, but after they are everything is fine. If I order the large size a bit of the dexterity is lost..... Personal preferences
Barring any type of advancements in cut-proof textiles, you simply can't buy or wear a better glove than these. Some work sites may try to require a leather glove. I always risk being let go from the job to wear these instead. I work around rotating equipment and need less material and maximum dexterity. So these are it. Find me a way to make these more than just cut resistant and I'll show you a market that will make these a standard on-site.
Ive been buying these since the longest! They last a while. I do construction work. (Grind,tuckpoint,lay brick, and some labor work)
The boyfriend really liked these. He said they fit really well. He does masonry and needed waterproof as well. These made him happy.
