Great gloves, I have been using these in training now for a few months and feel better than my old ones.

***SHAMEFUL PRICE GOUGING DURING A PANDEMIC!***I was looking to get a 2nd pair of these gloves as i had used my first pair for just about everything from golf to gardening and landscaping to using heavy power tools and they are now a bit tatty as a result, but still wearable and looking good overall which is a good thing in my opinion.HOWEVER: When i first bought these (Large Size) they were £29.60 back on 16 April 2018, now they want over £40 for them. Shop elsewhere, don't feed price gougers!ORIGINAL REVIEW:I've only worn them a few times since getting them, and although i know they're not designed for gardening, I even wore them to pull some weeds and they did well, and came up nice after quick cold wash. So they appear to be well made, and as a result they should last.One thing that annoys me about the gloves are the 'side tags' that has their company logo on them.They already have their company name and logo on the body of the glove, so why bother adding annoying side tags?!I really want to snip them off, but of course if i do that the material at that section of the body will become weaker.These are supposed to be like 'tactical gloves' yet they have a side tag on each glove which could get snagged on something and possibly cause you to injure yourself, however unlikely that scenario may be, the chance it can happen exists simply because those side tags exist.I know this is a niggle, but these sorts of thing annoy me. My suggestion to this - DO NOT CUT OFF THE TAGS, but simply cut them where they fold into the loop so that they are no longer a loop. That way they can't snag.However, I'm not going to drop any stars from the rating because of this, the gloves do appear to be well made and they do fit very snug like a glove of this type should. So to be fair, i honestly can't fault the gloves.Please, if you're making a newer version of these gloves, don't add any side tags. In place of side tags, I'd rather you added an outer hand padding to the glove which extends from the wrist to the first knuckle before the pinky finger. That'd be sweet.

Overall, these gloves are not bad, but the hands are not breathing in them. At work, i have to spend about 9 hours in them so my hands are very dry after a shift at work. But are very comfortable and hard. You can rip plastic bags and dont even feel that something is pushing your skin. And yeah, the upper protection is good, protects your fingers being hit by something.Edit: ripped of first two fingers in about a month...dissapointed.
