The protection is awesome and the fingers fit tight enough that i'm able to use tools with the gloves on! Think i will try to reorder in a small size cause they are super good gloves.

These are great for yardwork and the extra arm protection is a great plus. No more cut up arms while pruning or picking up yard debris. Definitely protect from briars.

These gloves handle it all. If they get soaked i believe all bets are off though. There's indeed a discoloration on the inside, but honestly that doesn't bother me at all! The long sleeves of the gloves cover me up past my elbows!

Have to admit i was sceptical that these gloves could handle texas thorns. These cowhide gloves are thicker and have leather gauntlet instead of cloth. These gloves are the best i've had for wild blackberry brambles.

Any moisture from sweat or rain getting the gloves wet will cause the dye to leak and soak into your skin. For such great functionality, its such a pity about the lack of quality with the dye color. Can't even get my hands in them to pull *.
