This is my 2nd pair of these and they are well worth the repeat purchase! I harvest a lot of pokey things out in the wild all summer and my 1st pair lasted about 5 years through the harshest conditions. They did not fail on any seams or stitching anywhere, the leather simply wore all the way through on the fingertips as any material would eventually. They are the comfiest and toughest work gloves I have ever owned, all while maintaining perfect dexterity. Buy some, you won't be sorry!

I used these gloves when pruning some bushes and ivy, and they worked very well. They are heavy duty but I can still grip the pruners, loppers, and branches. They do leave a residue on my hands, though, which is not very easy to wash off.
