Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased these gloves for use in 5 week archaeological field excavation; while carpenters may be harder on their gloves in the long run, archaeology gives any equipment a run for its money in the short-term.
I used these gloves primarily for shovel work as well as high-abrasion screening (which really puts the palm material to the test), here's what I've found.
The Good:
They really do breathe, my hands rarely got sweaty even working in 90F+ temperatures with moderate humidity, if you don't need tough material on the top of your hands, these are bar-none the gloves to use.
They are very form-fitting on the hand and I received zero blisters the entire 5 weeks when using them, the Velcro wrist strap and elastic wristband along with the extremely tough synthetic grip surface prevents the gloves from rubbing or slipping while on your hands without sacrificing feel and dexterity too much.
They are extremely comfortable, most comfortable work gloves I've ever worn, no places where they scratch/rub etc. that I noticed.
The not so good:
They don't seem like they'd be particularly durable for periods of use greater than a year, I had them rip and tear in 3 places on the palm where the synthetic material was sewn into the glove, and the mesh I would imagine is not particularly tear or cut resistant.
The Velcro strap functions perfectly, but again, in the long term, Velcro is going to be prone to failure, and the elastic wrist strap, while well wrapped it seems, is another potential liability. While these two features give more comfort than alternative options, and keep the glove better fit to your hand, they reduce the gloves' lifespan.
Overall:
Despite their few shortcomings, I will probably never switch to another type of glove again, my pair probably have one more excavation's worth of use in them, and after that I'll probably just buy another pair. Many of my colleagues wore gardening gloves or cheap work gloves and either got many blisters or couldn't keep them on all day for the sweating they caused, I could practically eat with mine on, and wore them whenever I was working.
Youngstown has manufactured a near-perfect work glove, and made a lifetime customer out of me.
