I saw gloves kinda like these at Home Depot for about $5 a pair, so these are a real bargain. For the price, I expected these gloves to shred before my work was done. Not so, and that's because of how they're made. More on that below. These are pretty sturdy gloves, stronger than I expected. I used them in the yard to gather leaves and whatever else the wind blew in. Then I used them to clean up after somebody else's picnic, which was disgusting but I had to do it if I wanted to use the space. I also used these gloves to hold garden tools, something I'm starting again as the season allows. No blisters this time. Thank you, gloves. And I used them to hold power tools, which kept the dust off me, gave me some protection, and helped me keep my grip. Unlike blue nitrile gloves, these gloves can breathe a little bit. They have a nice elasticized cuff at the wrist, too. This is how these gloves are made, and why they're so strong and comfortable. A glove is completely made of woven elastic thread. I'd say it starts more like a thin, well made mitten. Then the palm and the fingers of the glove (except the very back of the fingers) are dipped into a flexible rubber that coats, but doesn't soak in. Where the glove is coated the glove is water tight. Because the coating does not go through to the inside of the glove, your hand feels the more comfortable woven mitten part. The back of your hand still gets some air because the glove isn't coated there, and this reduces the sweaty sauna feeling you might get from some other completely plasticized glove. I'm impressed with the price, too. I got these gloves for about $2 a pair. I can't match that price anywhere for gloves like these. The seller says these gloves can be washed. Why bother? Work these gloves to death, then move on to the next pair, that's what I've done. I'm really glad I got these gloves. One last note: you are reading a Vine review, which means this product was sent to me without my having to pay for it. I never believed Vine reviews, I felt people would say anything to get free stuff. The Vine program, at least for me, is a little different: I only get what I go out of my way to ask for, and everything I get is reported as income to me, so I'll have to pay income taxes at what will probably be reported as list price. I may actually lose on the deal. But I wanted this product, it's something I use, I didn't know it existed before I saw it available for review, and, hopefully, my experience has been a help to you.
