I am an 8 1/2, which means that I wear a large, except with these I wear an XXL. They let me pick up needles and granules, but they also protect me when I use impact hammers with impunity. That's what you have to do. Ever. Just buy them two sizes larger than you think you need. They are the best gloves ever, except that they are way too small.
But still, I love these gloves. I have a lot of gloves, but these are the best. There are 2 new pairs in my tool kit, waiting, but my first pair are still going strong after two years of hard labor. Two sizes up.
As with most of the lightweight synthetic gloves on the market today, these gloves allow reasonable dexterity with good palm protection, snug fit, minimal thermal retention and they tend to wear more quickly than standard leather gloves. These pads provide marginally more knuckle protection than gloves that lack them and in fact, these protrusions tend to catch on things and cause me consternation. Personally, I find these "knuckle protectors" to be completely unnecessary. If you are like me and simply wear out gloves on a weekly basis, then skip the expense and go for the more ordinary-looking inexpensive gloves. This glove is the most expensive of the bunch.
All of them are essentially as "disposable" as the rest. If you are worried about smashing the back of your hand, it is smarter to keep your hand out from underneath heavy objects. It has a-lot of snazzy features and looks fancy but otherwise is no more robust than several of the less expensive synthetic gloves that I have reviewed recently. I have reviewed several gloves recently. In particular, this glove prides itself on a host of little protective nubbins and pads on the back of the hand.
If you want to look like you were born in the Indy pits then perhaps this is the cool-looking glove for you.
Excellent Glove.Like others, I ordered the XL.Normally I usually go with a Large.The XL fit perfectly.
These gloves not only protect your hands but are extremely comfortable and enable me to write perfectly with them on. I work in a mine, love to hunt, fish, bike, and all kinds of outdoor activities. This is my seconds pair and I wouldn't wear anything else, they are worth the money.
A wonderful, heavy-duty work glove. Get it in a larger size than you think you might need.
