I bought this only for working on live boxes just in case, but they were so comfortable I started using them for everything.... Until they got stolen.
Pros: comfort, protection, dexterity to work on regular finishing
Cons: They get dirty VERY easily and stained
I use these gloves primarily when cutting and pulling Himalayan blackberries, holly, and other thorny plants. Frankly no glove that I've used is blackberry proof, but this is the best I've found--even better than the welding gloves I tried. Other pros: The leather molds to your hands the more you wear them, and the long cuff protects your wrist but can be folded back if you don't need the extra protection. Only con: the leather is dyed orange, so if the gloves get wet, whether from rain or perspiration, the color comes off on your hands. It does wash off, but not easily.
These gloves were supple and comfortable right out of the bag... They are a tiny bit snug on my thumb, but that's what I like, providing some dexterity. My first impression is that these gloves will be amazing... Longevity will be determined, but they are comfortable and fit great. At this point, I would highly recommend these gloves. And to address the reviewer who didn't have the "ARC Flash" stamped on his gloves... mine did have the stamp.
The best gloves I've ever owned. These have held up to daily work in a Texas warehouse for 17 months (about 3 times longer than all the other gloves I've used) Youngstown makes the best
love the tactility, ease of movement, everything about these gloves says quality!

Description
Youngstown Glove's Leather Utility Plus is a groundbreaking new glove concept that combines Youngstown's ergonomic, 3D glove patterns with extra high quality goatskin leather. This unique combination creates a leather glove with the dexterity, comfort and durability of a performance glove. Most leather work gloves on the market are built in archaic patterns that have been around for centuries. These simple 2D patterns consist mostly of a palm side and top side and offer limited dexterity and comfort. Youngstown's 3D performance pattern is not only pre-curved but features a top, palm, thumb and finger side panels. This complex pattern truly form fits to your hand like a second skin. The goatgrain leather is specialy treated for grip and comfort yet is thick enough to withstand heavy labor. Coats Nymo thread is used throughout the entire glove for extended durability and comfort. This glove was designed for electric utility field workers and lineman; however, it is truly versatile and functions in any application where durability, dexterity and comfort are required in your work glove. This glove will not drip, melt or ignite if exposed to sparks or flames. It is Arc Rated to 20 cal/cm2. This glove is not designed to protect against shock or voltage. Nor is it designed to be worn over a rubber glove. It is designed to be a versatile work glove of tremendous dexterity and fit to maximize worker efficiency and comfort.
I use these for hoist operations (metal cable) from helicopters to protect my hands. So far this is one awesome glove. Snug but stretches with time like expected with leather.
These are my log-splitting gloves. Typically other gloves I've used in this manner wear out the finger tips very quickly. So far so good with these. The only downside is they will color your fingers and hands yellow the first several times you wear them. Fortunately, the color washes out easily.
Well made
Very tough and great dexterity.
Very comfortable product arrived earlier than promised. Will definitely purchase again.
