I'm an extreme DIYer and constantly wearing work gloves for everything. I used to go through work gloves faster than most people imagine. For years I've spent a ton of $$$$ at the local big box stores buying their gloves. Those gloves always wear out VERY quickly. Usually within a week (yes, a week) of a project one of my fingers starts poking through. Last December, I order a pair of these from Amazon. Well, I just had to replace them. After six(6) months! During that six months I did the following with these gloves: moved my family, two kitchen remodels (including hardibacker and porcelain tile floor), a master bedroom remodel (including hardwood floor install), cleaned up a 2 acre yard, yard work every weekend, fetch with the dogs for a 1/2 hour twice a day, split 5 cords of wood... I could go on and on... I can't believe how long they lasted. They finally gave out while splitting wood - index finger popped through after getting snagged. Now, to be fair I do split all that wearing time with another pair (Ironclad WCG-03-M Workcrew Gloves, Medium). I give those workout gloves an equally high rating. However, these are my favorite thanks to the velcro band. These are just so much easier/faster to get on/off than the other I mentioned which only have a "fixed" elastic band. What makes these gloves wear and last as long as they do is that every finger tip has an extra layer of fabric sew on. And unlike many other gloves, that extra layer isn't too thick and bulky. I can still feel exactly what I'm doing, pick up small things, have complete control, etc... As for the fit, I have relatively small hands and these fit great. I've purchased many "small" gloves before that were too tight. And many "mediums" that were a bit too large. These are perfect in that way too. Overall, I can't say enough about these gloves. If you're like I was and going through work gloves like water, buy these now. Hope I helped...
I work in a laundry facility that washes primarily restaurant linens, cloth napkins, bar towels, cook shirts, table clothsaprons, and mechanics shop clothes. I need gloves, one, as a barrier against the nasty food, mold and what ever people spit into their napkins, and two, just to protect my hands from being rubbed raw from what amounts to an 8 hour rug burn on my finger tips. I'm sure most of you have wash a load of towels at home and know how the plaster themselves to the side of the machine during the spin cycle, and how it's rough on your fingers pulling them out. We'll, imagine emptying an industrial sized machine fill with over 700 pounds of bar towels 8 times in a shift. Needless to say no a good part of gloves are essential! My work provides us those knit gloves with the rubber dots on them, and they work now but if they last you a week, you're lucky. Well, they ran out and I was without glove for over a week and decided to just buy my own. I landed on these because of the price. $7.99 only to test and see how they would hold up, and I have not been disappointed in the least. I was worries because I didn't think the spandex along the sides of the fingers would hold up against the Rough bar towels, but so far so good. After 3 week, there's very little wear. I will absolutely be buying these gloves again. To give you some idea of the quality, my coworker is on his 4th pair of work issue gloves, since I got these CLC's!
These gloves are excellent. I use them anytime I'm outside doing any kind of yardwork, mowing the lawn, rearranging heavy or dirty objects in the garage, etc. I was just outside two days ago for 7 hours in a combination of lawn mowing, digging, and setting heavy slate stones for my walkway. I felt bad about putting these into the dirt for the edges of the stones, but they held up. They got a little rough on the palms after handing the stones so many times and rearranging them...heavy shale slate stones..but they are still in great shape! I rinsed them off with the garden hose real good and just let them sit outside to dry. Excellent gloves..maybe run a tad on the small side. I got XL and my hands are large, but not bulky, and they fit well, snug- with no problem taking off or putting on. If you have large bulky hands, then look elsewhere. I'm buying another pair- just for the future.
I love these things for working outside. I'm talking about working in the yard, wood working and of course working on the Jeep. After years of buying heavy leather work gloves for outdoor work I tried these on a whim. I never used gloves for auto repair. I do now. Nice tight fit and leather palms and fingers (on the inside). They are so much less bulky and awkward when doing other outdoor work than regular leather gloves. And these don't stiffen up like bricks over time like leather gloves. This is the only brand of this type of glove I've used and have been satisfied, but since the price has gone up 20% since I bought these I may try other brands. For now these are the only gloves I use. They seem plenty durable to me. It's true that they're not as durable as leather gloves, but you do have more dexterity which is why we use them when working on our cars. They also don't give as much protection to your hands as good leather gloves, but I'm okay with that. Yeah, I get the occasional sliver or get poked by a rose bush thorn, but that's acceptable to me. When that severe situation with a hammer or band saw comes that might cause real damage to your hands those leather gloves aren't going to be any more help than these. I prefer to have these guys for the better dexterity.
I bought two pairs. A year and a half later they are nearly worn out, (getting holes in the fingertips), but I was impressed enough with them that I bought two more pair. Don't think I didn't use them much in that year and a half. I did. Although they are finally getting a bit tattered they are still in good enough shape that I haven't yet started using the new ones I bought.
A good, lightweight work glove. However, the synth-leather does not provide a great grip, at least not as good as leather. The grip is somewhat slick but not enough to put me off of getting more of them. If you work around water, these are GREAT. They dry out swiftly and and not sloppy when wet. They fit a little tight but their flexibility allows you to pick up screws and other small items and fell them. They are worth a try. Mine lasted from January to June, about what I get out of a pair of leather gloves. Normally I use Durango goat skin in a large and get large in these.

I work for Costco in the cooler and have been using this brand of gloves for a few months now. I've also used the Handyman gloves Custom Leathercraft 125L Handyman Flex Grip Work Gloves, Large which I like better those seem to be a tad thicker. These are good they seem to be more for light yard work. I can get about 2 to 3 months of use out a pair of these. Will probably be going back to the 125L next time I need to replace.
I love this gloves. My husband and I started doing some home renovations and my garden gloves weren't nearly enough protection for the job. So I found these and boy am I glad. This fit, well, like a glove lol. I have chubby hands and a small wrist so I got a larger size and with the wrist strap I can have them fit snuggly/comfortably without having to worry about them coming off. They have padding on certain areas (areas prone to bumps and what not) but are still light weight and breathable. My husband's tried stealing them mulitple times. I guess we'll have to buy a second pair :)
I work at UPS and gloves usually last a month if your lucky. These have held up nicely for 2.5 months now. Keeps my hands warm in 30degree weather. Good mobility and padding. Very good product.
I have used these for a range of activities.
When I was pruning roses it must be said that the thorns easily pierced the grip area, so these are by no means puncture proof.
These are very well suited to less hazardous duty though. The fit is probably the best glove fit I've ever had and they give some protection and padding while staying pretty ventilated.
I have also used these while mountain biking and they are fantastic mtb gloves as well!
I purchased 2 pairs on May 16, 2017, and have totally abused these gloves woodworking. The first pair is still going strong (My index finger finally popped thru on 9/15/2018). They saved my hands from accidental chisel cuts a few times. They're light and flexible. A typical pair of gloves would last me approximately six months, these lasted 16 months (great bargain for me). I won't work without them.
