I be a aircrew member in the United States Air Force . most of my job-related responsibility require I to wear glove for safety and protection . I have previously use the popular Mechanix brand automotive glove -lrb- the basic model -rrb- . I find these glove to be overprice for the durability and protection offer with the product . they last anywhere between 2-3 week on the job before hole be wear through the fingertip of the thumb , index , and middle finger of the glove . Custom Leathercraft glove offer optimum safety and protection for the demand of my occupation . the thumb , index , and middle glove finger be reinforce , extend the life of the glove well beyond that of my previously favor glove brand . the glove body be make up of a stretchy , but durable material that allow a comfortable fit and tear resistance . for the price at which this product be sell , I be beyond satisfied with the performance of these glove . note : I usually wear a large , but at the time I purchase the product only a medium or XL be offer . I buy the medium and the glove fit perfectly , probably due to the stretch allow by the glove body .
