These gloves fit great and they allow you to do detail work that usually can't be accomplished with other types of work gloves. The design is very well thought out, with the soft backing and extra grip on the fingers.

BUT...I've ripped two seams after using them for only 2 months. And I don't even use them for the really sloppy work like moving wet firewood around or lifting concrete pavers. For the price, one would expect better durability.

I love these gloves! They fit extremely well, but are cool to wear for extended periods. The Kevlar palm pads are holding up great so far, but I'm not too sure about the stitches that they are sewn in with (obviously not Kevlar thread). Aside from that, they are very well thought-out - the terry cloth "brow-wiper" on the back of the thumb is evidence of that. Definitely an improvement over loose-fitting leather gloves with wide cuffs that act as dirt funnels.

I was skeptical of these gloves when I first bought them. But after using them for 3 months in demolition and framing I can say your not wasting your money on these gloves.They have yet to show any wear. I've even washed them and there better than new.

I purchased these gloves and started a small remodeling job the next day. After one day of demo one of the finger seams had started to come apart. On day two we framed and they developed a few small holes in the palm. For the money spent I could have gotten three pairs of leather work gloves that would of lasted three months. If you work hard these gloves are the wrong choice.

Our company installs manufactured housing and we need gloves that are very durable and comfortable I thought that these gloves would do the trick so I bought 5 pairs for my crew several different sizes from Med to XLarge Hevy Utility after only a couple of days they started to fall apart the Duraclad Re-enforcement pads peeled away and the leather palms developed holes in them But I do have to say that they were extremly comfortable though not very useful in cold weather or in wet muddy conditions I dont think I will purchace the cold weather version of these gloves either

NONE OF OUR GLOVES LASTED MORE THAN A MONTH

I was hesistant to buy these earlier in the year as $30 is a bit pricey for a pair of gloves. Well, my wife surprised me with them on my birthday and I immediately put them to use while repairing our deck flooring. It was about 42 degrees out and my fingers NEVER got cold. I almost forgot I was wearing gloves, they fit so well. The velcro wrist closure was wonderful at keeping dirt and such from getting inside my gloves (unlike my old, generic leather work gloves.) Consider me sold.

I bought these gloves and they had holes in them in a three days. The stitching came out. They're crap. $25 for what? If you actually work for a living just get a pair of regular leather work gloves. These might be fine for weekend warriors but I'm a landscaper and these gloves just don't cut it. Honestly, don't waste your money.

I used a pair of these gloves for less than a month and the stitching on the fingers gave out in one place and had started to come apart in about 3 others. I had used the gloves around my home, doing light carpentry and groundswork.

It appears from the reviews that I'm not the only one to have this problem.

I called Ironclad and they said, probably defective, no problem just return to amazon - which I did, and received a full refund.

I'd be willing to try them again, but I ended up purchasing a different brand from a local vender.

I am a IRON WORKER, and need the best hand protection money can buy. I tried the Ironclad Heavy Utility gloves in hopes that they would prove to be lighter yet offer good protection against cuts. After only 2 days of use "packing rebar" the threads wore through allowing the "DuraClad" patches to come loose and also one of my fingers kept comming out due to the seam splitting! This is not worth $30.00+ Dollars to me! Stick with the $2.00 double leather gloves we are all so familiar with, they last so much longer.

As a landscape contractor, my gloves are an essential tool. I generally go through about a dozen pairs of leather driver type a year. I'm extremely hard on the forefinger and palm. I tried an Ironclad 'heavy duty' pair and they lasted about a year of heavy use. I still wore out the forefinger (tip and about 3 holes down the finger) but overall the glove was very good. It was comfortable and protected my hands well. The re-enforsed fingertips are good for using my hands in the soil. The velcro wristband held it on securely and the added protection sewn in seems to be in the right places. The only drawback is, these gloves offer no protection from the cold at all, but for a heavy work situation, I reccommmend this product highly. I intend to buy another couple of pairs and perhaps the cold weather version as well.
