The doubled leather is thick enough to withstand barbed wire. I have concern that the single layer portion will fail prematurely as it is not stout leather but so far so good.
These in large size fit me more like a smallish medium. I hope they will stretch a bit.
I bought these gloves for my neighbor who has very large hands. He told me he could not find gloves that fit because his hands were so large and they stopped making them in his size. These fit absolutely perfectly and he loves them. Now I can get so more yard work out of him.
These are very thick, strong, high-quality gloves. Much better than any gloves I’ve boughten before and I own a lot of leather gloves.
Great product and price
These are the pair of gloves that I can find in XXL that fit! Great workmanship and long wearing.

Description
Double Palm Cowhide LG
Use for blacksmithing and the double palm is great.
These gloves are not without issues however they are what i need as i have some heavy field hoe work the next few weeks and in the past with standard work gloves i wear a blister in the thumb forefinger saddle. That costs me time and its painful as i still have to get the work done. These gloves seem to have sufficient protection in this respect.
They are made for handling wire and they seem suited for that task and the palm, thumb and forefinger are very well protected as the picture suggests. Now these are not form fitted gloves in fact the finger length gaps seem arranged along an even line as opposed to slight anatomical curve leaving the gap between first two fingers slightly short and the gap between ring & pinky finger shorter and the pinky finger as a result noticeably short. As these size / ergonomic issues are due to the gloves design and not due to defect and are not a hindrance for wire work or hand tool use i did not think it fair taking a star off for it. It may be that for this design cow leather is the best choice because cost does matter though if i had a slightly better fitted glove, but heavy weight goat it would likely double the cost.
I am not a typical user as most people wont be trying to use a field hoe ten hours a day and i like that i can tell these gloves are going to need a little breaking in. I will be following up on this review in the next week as these are just first impressions and how cowhide responds to heavy use and getting soaked in sweat.
