its just like the title say . these glove outlast almost anything . i have even handle barb wire with these and not have a punch through . they handle abrasive great . will shed some water , like any other leather glove . the terry cloth on the back be nice but tear up before the rest of the glove be show much for problem , but this be cosmetic , the glove stay in tact . these be not insulate , and do not provide much help there .
