I needed a pair of safety protective gloves for work & I read reviews on many different types before I settled on these. I'm really glad I did because they turned out to be everything that I was looking for in a pair! They meet the basic requirements; they protect ur hands from sharp objects/tools & they're durable, as they've held up to the wear & tear from my job thus far. What I really appreciate is that they're comfortable to wear all day; (breathable, no sweaty hands, supportive, strong/thick/tough fabric but u can still feel thru it & use ur hands normally, etc), & they actually fit.. like a glove!! I have really small hands, but as a female I feel its difficult to find work gloves that aren't too big in general & even when I do, although they're smaller, they're usually still too big on me. These gloves weren't just a slightly smaller version of men's gloves, they fit my hands perfectly! The fingers weren't too long, they weren't too loose or too tight, they fit as if they were made just for me. They don't restrict my movement in any way & they're definitely better quality than any other pairs I've had before.Plus, I love that these gloves are actually cute! Most gloves, whether they fit me or not, always come in either super boring designs or hideous, tacky colors, if not both. I was so excited to find some that had a cute, stylish design & even came in pink! I love showing off my hot pink work gloves! No one else at my job has gloves like these & the other girls are jealous cuz they want a pair too. When these finally get worn out, I'll be back to buy another pair!》EDIT《 (2-3 MONTHS LATER) -I have to take back my initial review, unfortunately. These work gloves must be intended for very light "work", because after a few months of wearing them to my part-time job, (5hrs/day, 4 days/week, where I open boxes of shipment most of the time), they are literally falling apart. As the pics show, the stitching at the seams has come out on the tops of the fingers, so now all my finger tips are exposed. Plus the material they put on the finger tips for use with smart phones has actually disintegrated to the point where I can't even attempt to properly sew the holes closed. This is very disappointing because I've bought some cheap pairs of work gloves that have lasted a heck of a lot longer than these & I paid about 1/3 of what these cost. Just goes to show u don't always get what u pay for, cuz in this case, the higher price definitely did not get me higher quality.. I guess its back to ordering the cheap, ugly pairs...
