Review on ❄️ Cold Weather Neoprene Duty Gloves by Rothco by David Ruwala

Revainrating 2 out of 5

keep my hands warm; useless for work.

I bought these based on the good reviews for warmth and waterproofing. Both have worked well. But I don't need these gloves at all because I can't wear them and still do my job. I work outside in a cold sometimes humid environment and was hoping for warmer gloves to help me with fine motor skills as I found that when my hand gets cold it starts to fail. I am a woman with small hands and although I ordered my normal size (ignoring user reviews telling me to order larger), I found these gloves to be too bulky and the fingers about an inch longer. I have to deal with terminal blocks and tricky little connectors, and if I lose one of these in the bowels of a terminal block spaghetti factory, it's sure to ruin my day. Also, I read about the unique attachment mechanism on the outside of the wrist rather than the inside and ignored the warning, thinking it was a nitpicking complaint. I regret doing this. This is very annoying and makes the gloves not very comfortable to wear and more difficult to remove and replace. Palms are a bit grippy and I wear gloves to and from work (because for $27 I get my money's worth) so they keep the star. I simply cannot endorse their use for good purposes. I will now use thinner gloves and hand warmers.
