Review on 🧀 Protection and Precision Combined: Revco Industries BM88L BSX BM88 Extreme Pig Skin MIG Welding Gloves, Large by Hikeboy Ramey

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I bought these for blackberries, no welding

I'm not a welder. I got them for uprooting invasive plants from my garden, because so-called "thorn-proof" gardening gloves are a joke when it comes to Himalayan blackberry vines. I was able to use these gloves for about 25 hour-long thorn removal sessions before they tore to the point that holes appeared in my fingers and thorns started crawling through them. They also got wet and dirty all the time, which probably shortened their lifespan, but I can only rip brambles out of the ground when the ground is soaked with rain, so: muddy gloves. They aren't waterproof either, which is what I want but can't find. I have to say they did a great job stopping the thorns, but nothing lasts forever against bramble thorns (if only they could! I keep looking for real thorns). - waterproof waterproof gloves. Maybe one day). I'm also disappointed that I can't buy a medium size without buying a 12. I'm a girl and my hands are smaller than most men's. Big is big to me, but I made it work. Now I'm buying a new pair because the first one is ruined by everything I've been through. I guess I'll keep buying new pairs as needed until I've gotten rid of all the bramble bushes in my yard (I've gotten maybe 2/3 of the way there). a temporary solution to blackberry picking, but better than anything I've tried before. Also proven for other purposes.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • I don't remember
