Great for what they are meant for, NOT waterproof however
So, I will start with the bad news.These are NOT waterproof by any stretch of anyone's imagination, and they dont dry quickly.And that is pretty much it!O!....also dont try to pull them on by the little rubber loop tab. That is NOT what that tab is meant for just FYI. That tab is there for putting on a carabiner or clip for carrying, or a nail for drying...etc. When you pull them on, reach into the glove up along the tab about 1-2 inches, THEN pull them on. This probably could have been designed better, like....out of leather/pleather, but I think they were trying to keep a color theme. (best guess for the bad design)Ok, now for the good news, they are amazing at what they are meant for.I took these brand new to fire academy training where I wore them for about 4 hours of vehicle demolition in light rain. Pull and peek, handling glass, metal and plastic trim removal, handling spreaders and cutters and various other extraction and breaching tools. While they did get totally soaked throughout, they were always very comfortable to wear and provided great grip and dexterity. I was able to use my fingertips to get under trim and even pick up small tools from the ground. I never felt my hands were in danger, and even had a hose compartment cover dropped on the back of my hand at one point. I barely even felt it due to the rubber knuckle guards.Even wet, they were able to be taken off and put back on....with a bit of extra work however. The ambient temperature was about 60 degrees in drizzling raid, so my hands were never cold, but I would not trust them to keep my hands very warm if they get wet in sleet and snowy conditions. The gloves dont get super heavy when wet, but you can tell they gain a bit of water weight, and they dont dry fast.After using them for the day, they looked nearly as good as new if a bit dirty. I threw them in the laundry along with the rest of my gear and put them in the dryer on very low heat. I then put them on some PEET glove drying frames and let them naturally dry the rest of the way over the next 24 hours. After all that, they looked almost new, and there were no signs of thread separation, tearing or weakness.These are a great alternative to your bulky structure gloves when you dont have to worry about fire, but you might want to keep an extra pair of these on the apparatus or in your go-bag, because they WONT dry out quickly if you get them wet.A nice bonus for me was that they color matched my black on yellow structure gear perfectly. ;-)

Needs better quality control
Gloves look good upon appearance and feel. But fit and finish isn’t there. They seem to run small. I ordered an XL. My bottom right palm wasn't even under the protected part of the glove. Also the stitching was undone on the right glove along the seam. I liked the glove just wished they had better quality control.

Not up to snuff
I’ve used ringers for my work as a firefighter for years. I thought I’d try something different. These right out of the box are obviously not built with the same quality manufacturing and materials as my what I’ve been using. Comfort wise, they’re fine but after working one extrication with them I gave them away. It’s that apparent of a drop in quality.

Works great for extreme hot surfaces!
I bought these for work and they’re amazing! A part of my job involves cleaning a steaming hot grill every night and if you’re not careful it can easily burn your skin off. The ones the restaurant had were really old, greasy and hard to stick your fingers through. These gloves on the other hand are extremely easy to put on and the protection they offer are grand.

Good for the price
These gloves lasted me 44 days until they started getting holes in the fingers. On the day of typing this review I am a pipe pusher/cutter and I put my gloves through hard work.

Inaccurate product description
The gloves seem like they are great quality, but the description is inaccurate. The description states "pack of 2", which I assumed was 2 pairs. I only received 1 pair, which doesn't correlate with the description. I cannot imagine a single instance where someone would purchase a single glove. Gloves always come in pairs, and therefore "pack or 2" leads to believe 2 pairs.

Poor stitching
Gloves look good upon appearance and feel. But fit and finish isn’t there, the stitching was undone on the right glove along the seam. I liked the glove just wished they had better quality control.

Best gloves I’ve had to date
Absolutely fantastic product, I drive hgvs for a living so they are great for hitching/unhitching trailers, and strapping the load !!Great grip and comfort, they lasted about six months of working 230 hours a month which is great value for money considering the usual cheap gloves last about two weeks !!All round great product for the price just wish they lasted abit longer before they start to deteriorate

Goog gloves and good value
Bought these to utilise in Motorsport marshalling where waterproof, heatproof, cutproof are important factors, so far so good.
