ANSI A9 Cut/Abrasion Resistant Gloves for Heavy Duty Work, 18 Gauge 3/4 Double Dipped Nitrile Coating for Construction, Gardening, Water & Oil Proof, Anti Slip, Touch Screen, PM3202, Black, L

First impressions: To preface, I tried a slightly less premium but still quite good variety of these gloves before switching to these for sizing reasons and because the strange stitching around the base of the fingers was starting to cause splintering pain and discomfort. With that said, I may have found my dream pair I have extensively searched for. I thought the sweatproof and waterproof features were just overexaggerated gimmicks - no, no; they literally keep your hands dry even when you sweat and the black part of them is completely hydro-impenetrable. They are such a joy to work with. I have also, yes at risk to life and limb, gone at them with a box cutter and knife and they have proven completely impenetrable to cuts and even pokes, and for a klutz like me that is a godsend. They fit amazingly well too. Again, I previously ordered a size too large which was still fittable but awkward; I had to really tug them down my wrist so the fingers weren't floppy on the ends. These size-down ones fit like an extra layer of skin, almost, but also loosely enough to not feel smothering or like they'll just fall off. I questioned the grip at first, but after spending some days breaking them in the grip has proven solid. I handle some very pricey and delicate items in my profession and I feel like I can climb up the walls like a gecko when wearing these; nothing slips to the point it almost feels magnetic. Overall, these are a gem I hope to keep around and use extensively for years to come. I am absolutely shocked and delighted at the pricepoint as well considering any gloves of remotely adequate quality usually cost a lot more. In fact the only cheap, manufactured feature I noticed is that the text and graphics on the back of them began peeling off like flimsy stickers within days of use, but I couldn't care less as long as they function. If they stand the test of time/wear and tear, I will continue buying more pairs.

Perfect fit, only real test is time and wear.

Very good protection for dealing with violent autistic behavior episode. Easy to get on in a hurry and not easily ripped off. Still got bite marks through but nothing that serious .Gives a little Peace of mind in a horrible situation.

Got these to handle very sharp knifes and swords, from small Roman Gladius, Japanese Katanas, English Bastard Swords, 6ft+ German Zweihänders and almost anything in between. These gloves do work and work well, as I still have all my fingers in place. What I ain’t too keep on them is the fact they felt brittle after a few weeks of use, leaving behind a few pieces of the rubber peeling off areas of the gloves. And they are not breathable, so unless you keep a little talc handy and inside the gloves, get ready for a nasty smell by your hands and the glove. All in all, it is a great product and recommended.

Received on time. Great product! Very useful.

Bought these gloves based on Rufus' recommendation to protect my hands from cacti and porknut (Vachellia macracantha)tree spines. They score 100 for cut and abrasion resistance, but 0 puncture resistance.

I was taking out a fire block HVAC damper, as it came loose I grabbed it to place it. Someone walked up behind and at that point I had to dump it. My hand got caught on something sharp on it and it pulled me off the step ladder. If I did have them gloves on my hand would have been cut on open wide. Even grabbing metal studs with screws in them and the gloves hold up to extremely well.

Excellent product
