Excellent gloves
These are great gloves. I use these for almost all garage and shop activities to avoid tearing up my hands. The mesh on the back is very breathable and I find my hands sweat less than wearing Mechanix gloves. I’m a “ruster”; everything ferrous I touch rusts almost instantly and these help a lot with that. One must be aware that wearing any kind of gloves around spinning machinery is VERY dangerous. These have plenty of “tack” to them on the gripping surfaces, and are therefore extra dangerous in this regard. I have to remember to take them off prior to using milling machines, drill presses, etc. I’ve caught fingers up using a cordless drill a couple of times and they grab FAST! The back material is weak enough to tear away, which is a good thing. Having said all that, I will still wear these around the garage and shop; you just have to establish good work habits. These wear out faster than Mechanix, but they are so light and breathable that I think they are worth it. I can usually wear the same pair for at least a couple of weeks of shop work before I have to replace them. I’ve tried other Ansell work gloves as well and while there are some that are tougher and more cut resistant, these are still by far my favorites. Edit: I just wore these kayaking in really hot weather - they were awesome! I’ve used them for handling fish as well. They are going to be a permanent part of my outdoor and backpacking kit from now on. Read more
