Heavy-duty Rescue Extrication Glove EN388:2016 Certification, Super Dexterity and Ultra Durability

I purchased these gloves a couple of months ago out-of-pocket because I wanted the good stuff and not necessarily what would be issued to me by the Fire Department. I have used them in training a few times and for other tasks, like station beautification duties, using rakes and shovels. Just recently, we had a really nasty extrication job after a multi-car collision that lasted about 40 minutes from arrival to placing the patient in the ambulance and we practically had to cut left half of a mid-2000s GMC Yukon into pieces. The entire team of 6 firefighters was using all available tools, working to cut and spread, and I made a few Holmatro cuts to remove a door before jumping into the back of the vehicle to be with the patient and figure out how to get the back of the driver seat removed. The vehicle appeared to be a live-in SUV with a bunch of tools and other stuff scattered around. The guy just went shopping and there was broken grocery glass all over as well. I was grabbing everything and moving it to make room for myself, as well as grabbing ahold of jagged edges of the vehicle while the team outside made more cuts. I had full confidence in these gloves and they didn't disappoint. The (patients) blood even washed out of the palms fairly easily.I would definitely buy another pair when the time comes. I would suggest buying a size larger than you usually wear as they seem to run small (I exchanged larges for XL) and wear them doing other tasks before you need them on scene to break them in, as they are a bit stiff with a hindrance on dexterity out of the package. After they soften up, they are fantastic.

I wanted to give these gloves a fair review because many of the previous gloves I've tried performed so poorly so I've waited a while before writing this. First of all unlike many gloves the lining of the glove doesn't get pulled out with your hand which is pretty crucial when you have to frequently remove them. I have a job that is pretty aggressive toward gloves and a week and a half in and they've got very little wear to them. My hands stay 100% dry which is a huge plus when the liquid I'm dealing with on the other side contains very aggressive acids and alkalines mixed with water. I am a pickler and those chemicals are soaked in the very abrasive nylon ropes I've handled easily over 1000 times since I've began using these gloves. They've stood up to that beating which has shredded so many gloves previously. I'm honestly curious to see how long my first pair lasts but I felt they are superior enough that I've ordered a second pair to have when that does happen. So far I'm a very happy customer. They are very comfortable and they don't hinder my ability to handle the remote for the crane I operate. Awesome product.

The crap, plastic tag to pull them on ripped off on like the second use. That razzed me a bit.Decent fit with nitrile gloves below. Dry relatively quick. Backhand is great for scratching my face when I have an itch. Palm is holding up VERY WELL with daily use. Sharpie bleeds into the plastic if you write your name on them. I like them...hoping they hold up. I've been using them every shift, and they function like new.

-Update-I am updating my review because I was unfair to this product. They are very comfortable and protective. I am still disappointed at how little resistance to water they have for being water repellent; I don't work with oil, so I don't know how repellent to that they are.I still use them and they are doing a good work at keeping my hands safe, so 4 stars.-Original review-I am going to start with the bad in that is that I bought the most expensive pair because they are the most protective pair, and they looked good, too; but they got wet so quick by some water that sparkled to my right hand and they were so wet I couldn't use them today. It took like a day to dry. This is super disappointing and the reason I am taking two stars out of the perfect 5, because this was, along with all the other safety features, very important to me. For what I do, the level of protection these gloves provide is probably unnecessary, but I thought it couldn't hurt to have that extra protection.I wanted to return them, but they were wet and dirty, so there I have $60 doing nothing in my car while rhey dry. I should have bought the other pair that was not so expensive.Now the good and the reasons I see these gloves are so highly rated:-They are super comfortable. I have super small hands for a male of my height, so I ordered the extra small size thinking I would return them to get the next size up; but to my surprise (and sadness) they were still a bit big, but not uncomfortably big.-They have solid protection. I hit a metal shelve putting away a 40lb bag and I only heard the noise. Exactly what I bought them for! I keep hitting everything.-They are sturdy and bulky, Inhave not tried to cut them or pinch them, but they look like they will do alright.-They look absolutely fantastic, even on this extra small size, they make my hands look big and like that.I am impressed by the quality, they feel durable without compromising comfort.But to me the waterproofing was a must, at leat quick dry, and these pair ar none of them. The water hit the glove on the side, on one finger, not on the opening where you put it on. I am extremely disappointed for this. These would have been easily the perfect gloves for my extra small hands.I do recommend them for anyone seeking for a durable pair of gloves and need all that cut and puncture proofing; but otherwise, get the cheaper versions. At $60 this is not worth it unless you really need the A8 cut protection and don't mind getting your hands soaking wet.

Excelentes, muy buena calidad

I was delighted with these. The fit was excellent but the gloves are a little tight (on the grip) and will need breaking in. Bought these for the A8 level cut protection on the palm and as part of my cybergoth style (fluorescent skeleton gloves). They are comfortable and make great bicycle gloves. As suggested, don't expect them to be waterproof (untested at this point). These are well designed and are of high quality but might not be suitable for a motorcycle. They look really good as well.

防水性は皆無です、当然油も染み込んできます騙されないようにしてください

At first, I thought I had overpaid for these impact, smash, and cut proof protective gloves. But then, one day, someone accidentally closed a steel protective barrier on my hand. For a second there I thought my hand is gone.To my surprise, the gloves protected my hand perfectly! I was so grateful for these gloves.I also use these gloves for cycling and other activities where my hands are at risk of injury. They provide excellent grip and protection. I highly recommend these gloves to anyone who needs impact, smash, and cut proof protection.Money well spent!I just wouldn't take them to a construction site doing labourer jobs near cement and stuff. Not that they are bad or anything but I just can't see myself throwing bags of cement in them...

Excellent protection and very comfortable well worth the money
