The fit and dexterity on these gloves are great, and unlike some other duty style gloves, they are great for dealing with complex/fine motor skills like those involved handgun shooting.

Laid my bike down yesterday when I hit a patch of sand/gravel in the road around a left hand turn doing 20mph; road cut a hole in the palm of the glove, but no more than a scratch on my actual hand. Probably would have ground to the bone without the gloves. Used regularly for four years and over 13k miles of riding, as well as one SOF shooting package. Sunset bleached the fingers and back of hand to a mud brown color. Nonetheless, bought a new pair today to use as soon as my leg and bike are healed.

Haven't put these to the durability test yet, but unlike most gloves which have fingers sized too long for the hand, the finger length was sized right. Although this is a fairly pricey glove, Planet Optics had the best price and selection I could find. Also, if you are unsure of your size, but want to order for both yourself and another friend with a different size, you can order one pair at a time, since this item ships free.

I bought these gloves to use at work (I'm part of a tactical response team), and they have yet to fail me. They have saved my hands from numerous potential gashes and cuts from rusty nails, shards of glass, sheet metal.

I bought these gloves (Kevlar/OD) after going through a couple of pairs of Mechanix brand gloves in MOUT activities so that's the frame of reference for these comments. After a lot of crawling and sliding on concrete, asphalt, and gravel plus a lot of trigger time I realized that I needed a pair of gloves that had strong seams, tough palm surfaces and a tough (but sensitive) trigger finger. My concern with this glove was the elastic wrist. I conceded that if I wanted wrist coverage I would have to buy a longer glove so I was really questioning if the elastic would keep the glove on my hand and prevent stuff from falling in. I liked that the trigger finger was stitched at several intervals so that I could cut off the (glove) fingertip without unravelling the entire finger and eventually, the glove. As it turned out, the finger was sufficiently durable and sensitive so I didn't have to cut it. I bought these gloves with a snug fit and that seems to work well. They've battlescarred ...

I bought these gloves and put them on, I noticed right away the short cuff was already going to be an issue, as it flared out immediately. I also noticed they were not as tactile sensitive as Blackhawk says they are. I have worn the glove 3 times in the one month I have owned them. Today a situation demanded protection and I put on the glove, it tore apart as I pulled it over my hand. Blackhawk may or may not honor the warranty - but fact is, it wasn't there when I needed it to be, whether I get new gloves or not they have already failed.
