I order a lot of "mil-spec" and "military grade" stuff online, hoping for the best, and these do not disappoint. I don't have much time with them yet, so I can't speak to the durability, but with gloves you kind of get a sense of what well-built looks like and feels like over the years. And as a motorcyclist and former blue collar worker, I have gone through my fair share of gloves. Also, as a Naval aviator I have seen the "real thing", and these gloves are exactly what I recall the real ones were like. I'm going to order some extras so I have spares in case they stop making these available.
I use these winter camping to sleep in and campfire cook in. They keep my hands warm so that I don't wake up from cold hands. They give good dexterity to operate zippers and cooking utensils when by an open fire. The fit is as expected. A little pricey, but overall they are good quality. The seems hold up and they don't slide off. The extra length is what makes these a must have for me.
Good quality, fit perfect. I use these for motorcycle riding. I know these are expensive, but should last 10-20 yrs.
I have 2 pair from when I flew in the military, they are 35 years old, government issue, and have holes in them from wear (still usable).
These have a shorter length, not a factor for me.
These have great tactile feel, I use them on the range and they make a steady hold easy in th cold. Wore out the previous two pairs glad to have found a replacement before varmint season..... great in sub-zero as liners so you never have to expose bare skin to the cold.
Very impressive. Like the finishing work - good leather, tight stitches and right sizing. The colour is very cool - not khaki green but sage green with the complementary grey leather. Can't speak to wear yet as I haven't worn them for long but these will become my favourite I think (having used the black equivalent for a long time). Would definitely get another pair.

Perfect for SWAT teams, military units and law enforcement agencies around the world
Bought for use as a pilot in a small airplane. Need protection from biting cold during pre-flight inspection and use in the cockpit. These gloves do not restrict movement or feel significantly - perfect for this use. The fire resistant characteristics are a great plus as well -- that I hope I'll never have to test!
Best pair of gloves that I've had. Dexterity wise, its almost like using your bare hands. I use it for all the work that I do in & around the house. I would definitely get another pair soon.
Perfect fit. My second pair and I’ll order again when I wear these out.
Weither it be flying into an LV, huntin' for scuds, or driving your honda odessey these bad boys will do it. Quality was far above cheaper 'military spec' pairs and actualy feel as if theyll last. Just wish more sizes were in stock.
Just like the gloves I had in the USAF 40 years ago. Perfect!
