Cut Resistant Farmers Sleeves with Thumb Hole, Arm Protectors for Thin Skin and Bruising, for Gardening, Welding, Kitchen, Arm Guards for Biting, Pet Grooming, Grey, 1 Pair

These are sturdy and well made. I have a fireplace and a wood burning stove. These help with cuts or bruises on my arms carrying the wood in each winter as well as stacking many cords each year. Another plus for me is to use them working in the garden, as I am allergic to stinging insects. Good protection.

I’m taller with longer arms and these are nice and long! The Velcro is perfect for the upper arm as well. Very protective! I’ve been pruning back overgrown roses bushes and have lived another day thanks to these! Definitely would buy again!

These offer good protection for yard work, such as pruning hedges and shrubs or clearing out brush. The Velcro adjustment at the biceps is clever and it provides a good fit so that the sleeve will not roll down.BY THE WAY, THE PHOTO IS MISLEADING AND I AM SURPRISED AMAZON HAS NOT REMOVED IT. It shows a knife blade cutting across a sleeve. What a joke! That's why I didn't give a 5-star rating. Do NOT expect that type of protection. It will protect against branches on shrubs, hedges, etc, for example.

As my mother aged, she became increasingly susceptible to bruising, bandaged bleeding scraps and blood blisters on her arms caused by the most minor scraping of her skin, or tiniest thorn punctures from one of her many rose bushes. Now retired, the same condition has come upon me and appears to be progressively becoming worse as I age, as it it did with Mom. A recent urgent water heater replacement required the renovation of the dedicated closet housing the unit, resulting in both of my arms and hands covered by large bandages protecting big bleeding scrapes, and not bandaged dark blood blisters/bruises covering all areas of both arms. When I'd find blood on a glove or shirt, I wouldn't know what I'd done to cause the new scrape or cut. Long sleeve cotton shirts didn't provide enough protection, just soaked up blood, so I changed back into short-sleeve T's.Today was the first wearing of my new OriStout Kevlar Protective Sleeves while working with ladders and equipment on the house, and today is the first day doing this kind of work that I haven't pulled out the fishing box re-dedicated to first aid! No new bruises, blood blisters or cuts on either arm, and there were plenty of strikes, scraping, and banging of arms and elbows just moving myself, materials and tools up and down ladders.I'm astounded by how well these sleeves protected my arms. The morning was hot from the start and it became hotter, but I didn't notice that my arms were sweating until the sleeves were pulled off when taking a break. They are very comfortable, and stayed in place on my arms. The sleeves on my T-Shirt covered the velcro band at the top of the sleeve, that's how long they are, and I'm 6' tall.My experience today tells me these are a 10!! for me, and I'd encourage you to try out a pair if you suffer from the same ageing affliction that I do, and that Mom did.

Good Fit. Cover well. Arms are safe.

The skin on my arms is so thin that anything I touch causes a big bruise or tear The sleeves are thick and I believe will provide a good deal of protection. They are comfortable to wear and stay in place while working.

I was excited to receive these as I was looking forward to using them when putting hay out for our flock. My excitement turned to disappointment when I saw how easily the fabric snags (was snagged by the Velcro used to close the top of the arm gators). I did use them when putting out hay. They worked. The fit wasn’t the best though. They were too big in the hands and way too tight around the arms, especially my upper arms. Plus they were way too long. I might be able to make these work ok if I take them to a sewing machine and make a few adjustments. As far as being puncture resistant…..very skeptical on this as well. Would I recommend these to a friend. A definite NO.

fits snug on my arm which is average size, have washed several times ok. used to keep sun off my left arm in sunny FLA>It also offers protection in my repair work. Appears to be of good quality and I use it hard
