IRONCLAD RANCHWORX

I've had these gloves for 2 years now and they're still going strong! The leather is genuine so it needs to be broken in, but once it's broken in they are very comfortable. They are heavy duty so I have high confidence in their protection. They fit well, easy to put on and take off because they do not use the velcro strap that so many have. I use these things all the time. Great buy!

God, I loved these gloves so much. Protected me from anything and everything. Although I didn't wear them daily, I found every excuse in my spare time to wear them. My girlfriend knew how much I loved them so she didn't give me too much of a hard time for wearing them around the house for the dumbest things. You want me to move the TV? Let me get my gloves! You want me to assemble the furniture? Let me get my gloves! You want me to cook dinner? Let me get my gloves! Hahaha. Seriously though. These were some good gloves. For things like gardening, the glove material is good for scraping the dirt and digging shallow areas with the tips of your fingers. That I could tell, the material was not affected by the gardening whatsoever. It held up very well with planting trees, bushes, and plants. I even removed a dead half-way cut palm tree with just these gloves and a $15 axe. Took me a while to get the roots out but I wouldn't have been able to do it if the gloves were not sturdy enough to allow me to grab on to the roots and repeatedly pull them out. They protect well against a cactus, ocotillo, aloe vera plants and other native desert landscaping. Obviously, you have to oerate around these things with care but they're good protection if you accidentally brush across a cactus. Can't hardly feel anything. Again, I don't intentially grab cacti all day so I don't know what repeated stress against sharp objects would do but I know they held up against sharp objects very well. Pulling weeds held up fine. Allowed me to do three hours of work rather than just one because my hands started hurting. You could probably pull weeds for 4-6 hours with no issues. They're comfortable enough that the repeated rub against your hand isn't felt but your fingers still have enough feeling to feel your way around the base of the weed and accurately find the center and pull it up. I've used it with some general woodworking, fence crafting, coop building, a/c work, furniture sanding, sealing, and painting, oil changes and other motorcycle work. It held up well with the building-related things but you might find it hard to work with smaller parts until you've worn the glove in very well. So, in that respect, dexterity may be impacted by the thickness and durability of the glove material. This can be a barrier and honestly, I'll probably not use them very often for motorcycle work. These gloves will absorb the oil - even if you are careful - and you need that oil/water/liquid resistant surface on the glove palm to work properly with motorcycle or auto work so while the gloves could probably hold up, I really would not recommend them for that type of work. The gloves lasted three months of use with no sign of falling apart but someone (my little brother most likely) must have had sticky fingers because they went missing after the last group yard project we held a few months back. I think if you use these all day, every day, you can expect them to last 1-3 months. People have unrealistic expectations of gloves. If you can perform your work for 1-3 months, 8-10 hours per day then the glove has done it's job and the truth is that you're in a profession that requires a cost to maintain. I work in IT and I consider having my own IT equipment at home - that the company does not pay for - as part of the cost of work. So for those complaining about how they hold up against every day use - be realistic! I have motorcycle gloves that cost me $80. They've lasted about 7-8 months of every day use but are starting to show signs of wear and a strap is broken; they will last another 3-4 months max (so $80-100 per year to wear my gloves every day on my motorcycle). So, if you want a better quality glove, you need to put more money into it. The strength and quality of a material is definitely impacted by what you're willing to pay. Otherwise, this is a good glove. You can't go wrong here.

Good sturdy work gloves

Initial quality is good. Fit / size guide is helpful.

These are gloves that stand up to the test! I use them for fire wood and I can go through a pair of gloves like nothing. Fingers always get holes pretty quick. At $20 a pop, that gets frustrating. I found these gloves and they are the best! Finally! I will buy these again and again and recommend to people all the time!

These gloves are exactly what I needed! I pick up a lot of wood pieces as we heat our house with a wood-burning stove. I chop the wood into kindling and stack it. Then, of course, there's also feeding the logs into the fire. So, lots of wood handling. My leather gloves worked okay, but the leather could still be pierced so I'm hoping the Kevlar in the palms of these will be better protection. They are a nice snug fit without being too tight (I bought the medium). They are comfortable to wear and I feel very protected while tossing the wood around. As you can see in the photos, they are a bit long for me, but I think they're made for men. Still, the fingers are a better fit than the leather gloves, so I am able to pick up small pieces easier. These are still fairly new, so hopefully they will continue to offer the protection I need.

If you work ...you need these gloves. I've used the Ranchworx gloves for quite a few years and I have not used a better glove. They are a little pricey but there isn't another glove that comes close to matching the wearability, dexterity, and comfort of these. I do tree work, construction, and general life living and this is the glove I want on when getting ready to go. They fit perfectly, you can pick up a quarter, are extremely flexible, and have great finger and palm protection ...just buy them ..you won't regret. And if you're one of those folks saying the stitching came undone ...yah ..it does ..when you've worn them through and there's no leather left. Best work glove ever and oh...Ironclad ...you'd better not ever quit making them!

Okay so I bought these for my job working in a dairy warehouse and delivery company, I used these gloves 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, from 30 May 2019 to 1 August 2019, at which point the holes in the middle fingers got too large for them to be effective, I bought a new pair of gloves (cheap tactical ones which aren’t as good as these) but I have just bought my second pair of these gloves, in my job, they’ve been the longest lasting so far, and I feel if I hadn’t gotten them wet and repeatedly taken them off as gruffly as I do when I’m working, they probably would have lasted a lot longer than they did, they’re seriously tough gloves compared to most of what I have used, every thing else I’ve used has lasted 6 weeks or less, for an inexpensive glove, these are pretty awesome, my one con would be the fact the palm stitching frayed quickly, but even with that, the gloves held up tough until I retired them to be gardening gloves and reinforced the weak points with duct tape, they’re decently tactile for leather gloves, they don’t have the best grip at first, but after some use they’re fantastic, so if you want to prolong their life, I would say first, take them off slower than I do, I yank from the middle finger, which would explain the holes, second, maybe use mink oil on them to waterproof them better, lastly, avoid getting them wet, no leather handles that well, the reinforced fingertips actually stood up well, it was underneath them that developed a hole, overall, my favorite pair of work gloves aside from Wells Lamont leather gloves
