Without being able to test these rigorously, my first impression is that the fit isn't great. I am kind of a gear addict. I try a lot of different types of gloves. I bought these to replace a pair of non-cut-resistant gloves to use on vehicle extrication scenes. I had a piece of laminated glass slice through a pair of goat leather work gloves and didn't want a repeat.
The palm feel is rubbery and somewhat loose, which is perhaps somewhat to be expected for this type of glove. Another pair of cut resistant glove I used has a similar floaty feel due to the cut-resistant layer (I think that's what it is) but fit much better. It feels loose on my fingers, it is even looser around the wrist. I have smaller hands, so that might contribute. I usually don't have an issue finding gloves that fit well, though.
Love these gloves. Have multiple gloves. Good grip! Love them
The impact stuff on the back takes some getting used to. Very well made.
Lots of padding, warm
In service for extrication work, good product.

This is a pair of heavy work gloves with reinforced palms and backs. The tag on the inside of the gloves says ANSI cut A6, EN388 Cut 5, ANSI/ISEA Puncture 4. The fabric portion is 35% synthetic leather, 20% silicone, 27% polyester, 11% aramid, 7% glass fiber. The backs of the gloves have heavy rubber patches sewn across the back of the hand and fingers and separate rubber patches over the thumbs; the tag says these rubber patches are 100% thermal plastic rubber. In appearance, the cloth under the rubber patches on the backs of the glove seems to be a heavy polyester knit, while the material on the front of the gloves is a thin synthetic suede with a coating of rubber in a camouflage pattern in bright yellow. The gloves have elastic along the wrists in the back, as well as an adjustable band closed with a large Velcro patch. The T-Rex logo appears on the center of the back of each glove. The gloves were made in Pakistan.
My husband had high hopes for these gloves. He planned to use them for splitting and hauling wood all winter. He hoped that the gloves would provide some protection against splinters as he used the wood splitter and also some warmth. But, although he received size Large, they are way too small for him. He usually wears size Large men’s gloves, but these gloves in size Large seem to be more like a men’s Medium or Small. I wear women’s size small gloves. These gloves are big on me, but I bet I could have worn 1 size smaller (men’s medium) quite well. The gloves don’t have insulation to keep them warm for winter temperatures. The insulation seems more designed to protect against touching hot objects, like motors that have been running. Overall, these gloves seem well made, but size up to get some that fit.
The ridges on top of the hand and fingers are a kind of tough rubber material.
ANSI standard A6 is medium level cut protection all along the top. There is less side protection but that is a reasonable compromise to allow flexibility.
Size "large" is tight in the fingers on my medium size hand.
Flexibility is good.
"Impact Protection"? -I think not so much.
The fluorescent yellow is mucho visible.
While a band saw or chop saw would quickly slice through these gloves, they would provide some protection against some blades, whirling or not, from some directions, catching and binding the cutting surface.
They would provide little protection against impact, but neither would gloves of mail; that isn’t what they are for.
Go a size larger than usual. They feel awkward at first, but you quickly grow accustomed. No good for fine work, of course, so no brain surgery wearing these please. I think if you made a habit of wearing them constantly in a hazardous environment, then you might be glad you did on some hopefully rare occasions. I believe these are a niche product that would be just the thing for a some work in specific environments.
They are certainly tough gloves. You could get used to wearing them.
