My husband welds for a living and let's just say the gloves that whores work in barely survive in the garden. So we settled on decent gloves. We have ordered these gloves twice. First time was August 2017 and we are about to order a pair in August 2018. The first year we used them we had to do a small repair but they lasted a full year which is exciting. They are very well made for their price. I liked how long they lasted and my husband loves them for their performance.
