Schwer ANSI A9 Cut/Abrasion Resistant Gloves for Heavy Duty Work, 18 Gauge 3/4 Double Dipped Nitrile Coating for Construction, Gardening, Water & Oil Proof, Anti Slip, Touch Screen, PM3202, Black, XL

First impressions:To preface, I tried a slightly less premium but still quite good variety of these gloves before switching to these for sizing reasons and because the strange stitching around the base of the fingers was starting to cause splintering pain and discomfort.With that said, I may have found my dream pair I have extensively searched for. I thought the sweatproof and waterproof features were just overexaggerated gimmicks - no, no; they literally keep your hands dry even when you sweat and the black part of them is completely hydro-impenetrable. They are such a joy to work with. I have also, yes at risk to life and limb, gone at them with a box cutter and knife and they have proven completely impenetrable to cuts and even pokes, and for a klutz like me that is a godsend.They fit amazingly well too. Again, I previously ordered a size too large which was still fittable but awkward; I had to really tug them down my wrist so the fingers weren't floppy on the ends. These size-down ones fit like an extra layer of skin, almost, but also loosely enough to not feel smothering or like they'll just fall off.I questioned the grip at first, but after spending some days breaking them in the grip has proven solid. I handle some very pricey and delicate items in my profession and I feel like I can climb up the walls like a gecko when wearing these; nothing slips to the point it almost feels magnetic.Overall, these are a gem I hope to keep around and use extensively for years to come. I am absolutely shocked and delighted at the pricepoint as well considering any gloves of remotely adequate quality usually cost a lot more. In fact the only cheap, manufactured feature I noticed is that the text and graphics on the back of them began peeling off like flimsy stickers within days of use, but I couldn't care less as long as they function. If they stand the test of time/wear and tear, I will continue buying more pairs.

Thickness and quality is great but runs big I got a large and it’s big

I work freight and cut boxes open all night, these gloves are my go to and I order new pairs every month. They last about a month give or take with daily extreme heavy use sliding against cardboard repeatedly. I've sliced my hand dozens of times and only once with an older pair did the thumb fail and allow the razor through. Otherwise they perform excellently and resist wear, tear, and cuts with very sharp blades.

Got these to handle very sharp knifes and swords, from small Roman Gladius, Japanese Katanas, English Bastard Swords, 6ft+ German Zweihänders and almost anything in between. These gloves do work and work well, as I still have all my fingers in place.What I ain’t too keep on them is the fact they felt brittle after a few weeks of use, leaving behind a few pieces of the rubber peeling off areas of the gloves. And they are not breathable, so unless you keep a little talc handy and inside the gloves, get ready for a nasty smell by your hands and the glove.All in all, it is a great product and recommended.

These gloves are unbeatable. They don’t fall apart in an instant. They are very well made for an arborist that needs them on a day to day basis. The fitment is perfect very comfortable. One thing that could be fixed is the breathability. The sweat is trapped in unless you air them out

Tough A9 gloves I need for handling sheet metal. 100% approved!

Bought these gloves based on Rufus' recommendation to protect my hands from cacti and porknut (Vachellia macracantha)tree spines. They score 100 for cut and abrasion resistance, but 0 puncture resistance.

Love these gloves and work great in the data center I work in.
