I already have a pair of these glove and after several year -lrb- 5 or more -rrb- of use and they be start to wear out . I order another pair for when the first pair go . just wash the old pair of ironclad glove and it seem that it give they a new life . what be wear be the reinforce \/ stitch finger tip . they be start to have a tendency to catch on thing . they be great for use with a chain saw and other garden tool such as a rototiller . the padded palm make the vibration of the tool tolerable . I would definitely recommend they as a work glove for use outside .
