Ironclad Heavy Utility Gloves HUG-04-L, Large

Amazon.com Review

Ironclad has given hands a new lease with their high-tech approach to glove design. Ironclad gloves are made to protect workers' hands better than other work gloves, without feeling clumsy the way so many work gloves can. The first thing we noticed about these gloves is that they're tailored to fit the natural curve hands have in a resting position, rather than being cut straight, so when the hand isn't working, it can actually relax without the glove pulling the fingers in an uncomfortable direction. The palm of this general-utility glove is made of Amara, a synthetic material that mimics the resilience, grip, and comfort of suede while remaining machine-washable and resistant to water damage. High-wear areas are reinforced with tough DuraClad fabric, making these the toughest-grip gloves we've ever worn. The fingertips are also reinforced, yet we had no problem with dexterous tasks like picking up coins. We also like the cut of the cuff on these gloves. It comes in tight to the wrist to prevent dirt or other materials from pouring in. Why so many other gloves have gaping cuff designs is a mystery. While the gloves themselves won't be damaged by water, they won't keep your hands dry for long if you're working in really wet conditions. But that can be said of most work gloves, and everything considered, Ironclad gloves are some of the toughest, most comfortable, and easiest-to-work-in gloves we've tried. --Brian Trinen

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Gloves...For a Month or so, July 12, 2001

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Gloves!, September 2, 2000

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.
