Top critical review
3.0 out of 5 starsWhile these gloves are comfortable, and mildly durable, they are absolutely targeted towards very gentle and occasional use.

Unfortunately these gloves haven't even made it 1 year. Generally speaking, I wear them 1 day a week wile doing yard work. So that's pushing a mower, holding a trimmer and blower with the Very rare instances of pruning bushes, picking up fallen limbs, etc... The "soft touch" suede has been gone from the gloves for several months now, and about 2 months ago both developed holes on the web of the thumb, between the thumb and first finger. Those holes have continued to grow and others are developing now. It's time to retire the gloves and I'm having a hard time wanting to spend money on these again.
For the positives, they fit Very well, and I like the padding that dampens the vibrations from the lawn equipment. I have slightly arthritic hands and they make a noticeable difference over good ole fashion leather work gloves. I like the wrist closure, it's great at keeping debris out of the glove.
But the durability/longevity just isn't there. The materials are cheap (yeah, well, true for 99% of products made these days), and I miss having the option to spend more money on a product that was built to last. I'm just not keen on throwing gloves away every 9~10 months and buying another pair. I think that means I'll have to look elsewhere and opt out of buying these again.
