Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I love these gloves. The nitril coating keeps the fingers from disintegrating like all cloth-tipped gloves once they get even a little damp. So they are great for work in garden soil and with dewy sticks and tools in the yard. The finger tips are thick enough to protect skin from abrasion without being so thick that all sensation in fingertips is lost. This finger sensitivity also stems from the finger tips being snug on fingers so there is no buckling and folding of material to undermine finger sensitivity as is common with all-cloth and leather gloves. I love these for working with lumber because I can easily handle a pencil and a square and each in my pocket and get things like nails which my other cloth gloves are to loose to let me do. And they are tough enough to protect completely against splinters. They are very durable considering their price -last three to five times longer than any jersey cotton gloves in low price range I have ever bought -and I have bought a bunch of those before discovering these. Can't beat the price of these either. A couple things to be aware of. Because they have so much nitril on them they do leave my hands damp with sweat inside them when I work intensely or in sun. Not nearly as bad as full rubber gloves by any means, but not as dry as cotton or other all-cloth gloves. And size wise, these large size gloves are acceptable for my large hands but probably a little smaller than ideal. I am 6' 4" tall and have longer fingers than most men. My fingers go to the very end of the gloves, which is nice for sensitivity, but the web between first finger and thumb of the glove does not get all the way up to my body which means that when I open my hand wide there is distinct strain on that section of the glove. If I used these a lot with wide open palms (which I don't) as I grab a large bar or something and put force on that web, I imagine they would rip in that spot first from strain; a slightly larger size would be more durable in this respect. I have not tried a larger size of this source but probably will when these six pairs are gone. But I expect that to take a long time. I am delighted to have found these gloves - I have not found as any as desirable in local big-box home improvement stores in years.
