these glove have last for five year . they be a very good fit compare to other leather work glove ; a big improvement in dexterity . although not as durable as heavier glove , they meet all my expectation for light use . I find another use for they about 2-1\/2 year ago , when I begin ride my bicycle -lrb- a road bike -rrb- during the winter month to train for a long distance century ride . I be not satisfy with my full finger cycling glove which be warm , but not snug fitting . I try these glove which fit great , have a good grip on the handlebars and provide some cushion for my palm . the dexterity , comfort and grip make for a excellent combination with the shifter and brake control on my bike , even on long ride . they have hold up well , but I find it be time to get a new pair . they be warm enough for California winter , and comfortable even when the weather be warm . the terry cloth sweat wipe on the back side be a nice feature for keep the sweat from you brow and eye too . I recommend these glove for lighter work , and also excellent for cycling glove during cooler weather .
