I have these for over two year , and sure they be durable while they last the first year . but after that , the material start to bunch up and it do not protect enough of my hand . I eventually buy newer one last year of a different brand these be nice but too small -lrb- they do not protect enough of the finger and hand -rrb- and they be heavy . ' the leather start to smell and the wear down -lrb- stitch -rrb- pretty quickly . grant , these be pretty good price , I think it be good for what I buy it for but I would recommend invest in some nice pair since you 'll use these baby often . Hope this help , Daniel
