5.0 out of 5 stars The best work glove PERIOD., October 23, 2008

I use these gloves 5 days a week. I have tried many other brand gloves and these triple the life expectancy of any other pair that I have experienced. Part of my work includes picking up many rugs throughout the day. Normal work gloves get holes in the fingertips within a week. The Youngstown XT's last several months. They are well worth the price. In fact, several employees at my work place have switched to Youngstown because of the durability and longevity in which they provide.

3.0 out of 5 stars Wanted To Give 5 Stars, July 30, 2010

This review is from: Youngstown Glove 03-3050-78-L Pro XT Performance Glove Large, Gray (Tools & Home Improvement)

I wanted to give these gloves 5 stars because overall I was very pleased with them; however, the stitching at the thumb/hand palm split after just 10 days of use! Being a farmer, my gloves are important tools, so I'm careful not to snag them on nails, hooks, or other sharp edges. What happened is that the glove split where the terrycloth meets the leather palm, and I believe that stitch is the Achilles Heel of the design. The cloth is a soft, thin fabric and is sewn directly to the leather pad, creating a situation in which the cloth can "easily" tear away from the stitch. That is what happened in my case. Too bad to, because it's super convenient to be able to wipe my brow with the terrycloth. My wife sewed up the seam, but I can't imagine it will hold for more than a week.

If it wasn't for the tear, I would have given this product 5 stars. The sizing is accurate, the fit is very comfortable, and there is plenty of protection and grip in the palm and fingers. The fingers are flexible, and I am able to work relatively well with small items such as clasps, nails, etc... I work with heavy duty chains, rope, leather straps, and hoses, and have been pleased with the performance of the gloves. They have been soaked with water with no ill effects, and they breathe well and dry quickly.

My wife is encouraging me to return the gloves, but I hate hassling with that kind of thing. I am going to purchase a pair of Deerskin gloves at my local tack shop, and after a couple weeks I'll update this review and give a comparison.

***REVISED 7/2011***
I have purchased two pair of these gloves since last July, and I have been very happy with them. In fact, I'm buying two more pair right now to get me through next winter. I work in the dirt a lot, shoveling, hand digging in wet rock, land clearing, etc... I beat the tar out of these gloves virtually every day of summer (wet and dry), and I still only go through two pair per year. Yeah, they eventually fall apart, but what wouldn't under these conditions? Bottom line, they are very comfortable and pretty darn durable. I would give 4 stars if I could.

They fit very well and are well made. The palm material grips solidly. Super gloves.
