My husband and I bought a house to rehab and I was only finding gloves that were for men or gardening specific. Home Depot and local hardware stores had few options so I ordered these! I'm very happy with the quality.
I ordered them in June and used them to put on a roof, tear down drywall, and pull up flooring. About three weeks after I bought these I was drilling down decking on the roof and I drilled my finger down to the wood (ouch, try not to do that when you're roofing). Because of that there are two smaller rips on the index finger of the glove where the drill went through. what's great is through wear the rips haven't grown. The house had a bad mold problem in the bathroom, but pulling down the wet drywall didn't make me cringe because my hands stayed gry and mold free. The marks from drywall washed right out but the tar didn't. That doesn't really matter to me because it's not like I'm walking a runway with them. The only thing I can do without is the Tuff Chix patch on the top! Haha. My hands didn't get really hot in the summer and yet they didn't freeze in the winter, so that's good.
When I ordered these the package got lost in the mail so they sent me a replacement and I used them right away. Eventually the first pair I ordered arrived and instead of sending them back I kept them. I'm glad I did because I lose gloves like I lose keys. Would reccomend!
So I ordered these since I'm in need of some protection when I work on my wood and metal projects. I torch, use my smaller power tools, dremel, grinders etc but loose a lot of dexterity while using guys gloves. I have long fingers and slender hands. These gloves fit very well and give me much more dexterity than previous glove attempts. I still would like something better for my torch work however this fits the bill for 99% of what I need.
Good quality, comfortable, good dexterity. I was pleased with the price and the quick delivery. Very pleased. Only been using this a short while of there are any changes, positive or negative...i will update my review ;-) enjoy your gloves!
These are my favorite work gloves I've ever had. I bought them to wear while clearing dense forest. I have really small hands, so standard work gloves made for large manly hands don't fit me and it's really hard to get any work done when your gloves are twice the size of your hands (not to mention dangerous).
They fit well and are very comfortable. Slightly breathable, just enough they don't get all damp inside. They have extra material to protect your fingernails and knuckles (sometimes you have to punch nature into submission), and the bit of elastic at the wrist keeps sawdust and dirt from getting inside. I can work outside in the woods clearing land all day in them and they keep my hands protected and give me better grip when I'm using a machete or chainsaw.
Nice tough gloves. I use them for outside work and for hauling wood in for the fireplace. I purposely bought these because they look different than the other pairs of gloves that are laying around the house that are black or gray that my son and husband use. I wanted there to be no mistake that these were my gloves. I knew that by being pink, they were safe. I had a black pair previously that were always being borrowed and then they would be dirty or not where I left them. The fit on these is very good and the material is heavy enough to be protective of my hands. There is some warmth although I wouldn't wear these for winter gloves. The pink part is more breathable but the black parts are pretty tough and protective. They are flexible enough that I can move my hands around fairly easily to do most tasks. My sister saw them and liked them and I'm planning on ordering a pair for her too, as she does a lot of outdoors-y work too. We will both then be "Tuff Chix".
Loved these so much I bought a second pair for when the first pair will eventually get worn out. When will that be? probably not in the foreseeable future, because these are really well designed! The only problem I have is that one is slightly tighter around the wrist than the other - by a fraction - and makes it a bit more snug to get on. Other than that I like them for many reasons: lightweight, easy to spot from a distance, extra protective fingertip fabric (for my nails), extra knuckle protection, and the sweat fabric on the thumb all combined to make them thoughtfully designed. They are lightweight, but sturdy enough for the bruising I give them in my heavy clay soil. I also like that the cuffs are a bit longer so less dirt gets stuck inside the gloves when i get digging by hand. Oh! and the gloves are sewn better for my fingers - not such bulky seams on the fingers, like many gloves I have had, which make it harder to be dextrous in the garden. All this combined with the reasonable price makes then an outstanding product.

These are one of my favorite pair of gloves I've ever owned. I'm a small-framed person and finding gloves that fit is soooo difficult. I'm also a working girl; sawing trees for firewood, dragging limbs, mowing, gardening, pretty much anything outside or on the farm. Gloves are not optional. I barely even notice these gloves on my hands. They stay put and I can do everything I need with them on. The fingertips work great and they have held up better than more expensive pairs I've purchased. I'll admit, I wasn't a fan of the pink, but once they're covered in dirt and grease, you don't notice that much. :)
Not sure why other reviewers said the fit is tight. Granted, I'm used to latex or nitrile gloves, but I wear a medium in those and the medium in these fits perfect. They seem pretty durable thus far, particularly for the price. The advertised extra padding for your fingernails isn't really... well, existent.
Update: I've now used these for some pretty significant excavation work in the yard, putting up a steel walled pool, and removing and replacing the floors in my house. They've held up well and kept my hands safe and blister-free. Whenever they do wear out, I'll be buying another pair
I wanted to use this summer before I reviewed , so here it is . If your a women and have to work with your hands , you want protection that's durable and looks good this is for you .Things don't puncture through , no blisters ! I got sick of throwing cash away buying gloves that didn't hold up , bulky couldn't feel what I'm doing and they were ugly or they were cute but not durable . These gloves fill all my needs . P.S. The color hasn't faded , I left them outside in the AZ . sun ! I'm getting more of these ! Arrived very fast , next day .
These gloves are great! They are easily the best I have own. I use them for raking and heavy duty gardening at home. I bought medium based on another person's review and thought they were a bit small. They fit but just barely but happily they stretched out over time and fit perfect. I do not use them daily except during gardening season and fall clean up but they are great for my purposes. Not sure how I feel about the pink-ness. I would have perfered another color not so girly but that is not a biggy for me
UPDATE: I am now on my 3rd & 4th pair of these gloves (one in my camping gear, one in my backpack for regular use, and one was recently stolen in a smash & grab). They are amazing. Comfortable. Usable with iPhone.

This is my second pair of these gloves—and I love them. They fit my hands so stinking well. I use them primarily for audio gigs when I'm on a crew rolling road cases and hauling scaffolding and truss. I feel my hands are protected—but I can still use my fingers. Once they're warn in a bit, you can also use a touch screen (iPhone) with them still on! I do HATE the fact that they say "Tuff Chix" on the back of the hand, but I love my pink gloves when I'm the only woman on the crew!
