DULFINE Cowhide Leather Gardening Work Gloves for Men 1/3/12 Pairs

I purchased these gloves so I could safely handle one of my pet rats while he is recovering from neutering related to hormonal aggression. I intentionally ordered one size smaller than recommended to ensure a snug fit, allowing me to properly hold and support the furry little rhoid raging barracuda. The sizing chart suggested XL, but I chose L. My hand measures 9.25 inches around the palm and 7.25 inches from the tip of my middle finger to the wrist crease. It was somewhat tight getting my hand through the wrist opening and fully seated into the glove, However, once on, the fit was very secure and form fitting, with no excess leather bunching or floating away from my skin. To test them, I picked up my grumpy rat. He tolerated being examined and petted for a short time. When he decided he had endured enough, he turned his head with impressive dramatic timing and delivered what I interpret as a “YEET” bite to my thumb. In fairness, this may have been a restrained warning bite compared to prior incidents. He did not break the skin. The glove absorbed the bite without issue but the leather was definitely punctured. Keep in mind however, that rat teeth are scalpel sharp. That said, I would not rely on these gloves for extended handling of aggressive animals such as rattlesnakes, raccoons, squirrels, honey badgers, black rhinos, or teething toddlers. For typical gardening and yard work, however, they are well suited. They strike an excellent balance between thickness for protection and flexibility, allowing you to grip tools securely without feeling as though your hands have been encased in rigid armor. Can’t comment yet on their longevity, but at $10. , you can always buy a backup pair for replacements and formal dining.

Very durable! Not too thick as to feel cumbersome. I've used these to split wood, shovel a lot of dirt, move rocks/cider blocks, use chain saw and many more things. They are still in excellent condition! They are comfortable and still look nice. Size is perfect and fit very well. Highly recommend them and you can't beat the price.

Good quality glove. Hand protective. Accurate sizing

These gloves are AWESOME. Soft, durable. Size runs true. Lightweight and durable. If you are looking for water resistance; pre-treat with a shoe type waterproof spray. This will also minimize staining.

I received the gloves on a timely manner. they have a very soft feel to them but are as sturdy as expected, I ordered medium, and they are very snug but I expect they will loosen up some with use. the thickness is as expected and should provide good finger protection while still remaining flexible

Very nice manufacturing and comfy fit. Palm reinforcement for all the pulling/grasping stuff you have to do, and soft pliable leather for ease of movement of your hand inside. Nice elastic at the wrist keeps the junk you're working with/among out. And, if you're operating a large crew, or want a long supply, they come in as many as a dozen pairs at a time, at the usual Amazon Prime advantageous pricing. Nice.

Great price and excellent glove. Nice thick leather.

Smell amazing super soft super durable comfortable
