[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is now February, and this same pair of gloves has lasted through a cold West Virginia winter testing concrete, testing soil, and doing reinforcing steel and fireproofing inspections. They are thin for cold weather, but they are very comfortable and well “broken in.” They are holding together very well and I have not had any of the usual fraying or unraveling that I am used to. Now I will have to get a leather pair to try...Highly recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a construction materials inspector. I'm the guy checking to make sure the rebar is put in place properly, the concrete is right, and the dirt is getting put back into place the way the engineers want it put back. I need gloves, because the work demands it. I hate gloves, because I have to take them off to write or to use the technology that is part of my job. I've always bought reasonably priced gloves and cut fingertips off of them in order to allow me to write and take photos during my inspections. They never lasted more than a couple of weeks because the material frayed or the glove otherwise came apart. Even leather gloves always seem to come apart because of the way they are constructed. These have lasted almost a month now, and I am impressed with them.The framer's gloves give me the necessary dexterity for the fine detail work I need to do with my electronics and with old-fashioned pencil and paper, while protecting my hands when I am moving rebar, inspecting rough wooden forms and moving wheelbarrows full of concrete. I have two reasons for why this is not a five-star review. 1) they are little thin for cold weather. 2) I think they would be stellar if they were made out of leather.
