John Tillman Large Black, Pearl and Gold TrueFit Goatskin and Spandex Full Finger Mechanics Gloves with ElasticHook and Loop Cuff

I had a pair of these gloves (a previous version of them) from my old job. I loved them so much, when my last pair gave out, I had to have another pair. They're form-fitting, easy to put on, and secure.

Very soft and fairly durable for standard yard work, gathering fire wood and so on. Don't think they would hold up for high abrasion jobs but great for what I needed

This is my second pair. They are great! The perfect amount of padding high quality leather. I use these for motorcycles riding. I like the bright color so car drivers can more easily see hand signals.

Only had these for a day, but I'm very pleased. I'm reviewing the design of the glove more than the particular gloves I recieved.I've had the winter versions of these gloves on the past(blue and yellow and white). I can say they are hands down the best winter working glove available of you want a mix of warmness, dexterity, and lifespan. Nothing touches them. There. May be other gloves that are better at one of those things, ie Blackhawk winter gloves, but the thin leather means they last 2 weeks instead of 6 months these winter gloves last. Enough about the winter gloves. Enter these Black gloves.The same design as winter gloves. No insulation. Large fit like a large should, so sizing is on par. They have padding in the palm, so hammers and drywall don't wear you down as fast. With reinforced finger tips and the palm, the key points where gloves wear out now last twice as long. Only downside being dexterity(holding a screw in your hand). These gloves are still fully able to shoot screws and nails, but it's not really possible to hold a handfull and feed them at the same time. Tying wire for concrete is totally possible, without any notice that you have gloves.These are perfect for packing drywall. Rock eats gloves, usually it's the fingertips or the inside of the webbing between your thumb and finger.I can't reccomend these enough

I originally used the winter blue gloves for welding. They are lined and therefore thicker than the yellow pair. I wanted a cooler pair for my climate with the same leather thickness and durability as the blue pair which I finally put a couple of holes in at key points. The holes were mostly due to grinding and pinching-not from general welding. They lasted about 4 years and would have gone on much longer if not for my abuse. I got the best pair I could find that were similar (summer version) locally at Home Depot. I immediately found that they were not nearly as good. Looked up Tillman and found what I was looking for at a price only slightly higher than the best ones I had gotten at Home Depot. Got the lighter summer ones from Amazon and put them to work upon arrival. Very happy to say the least! The only detraction between the summer and winter Tillmans is the top hand cover. The winter blue has more leather over the back of the hand. The summer yellow has more mesh and therefore more chance for slag to burn through. But of course that is not a problem for a good welder-which is not me.

I'm not sure if it is the reinforcing layer of leather or if these gloves are a bit smaller than I'd expect from large Tillman gloves. I like the longer cuff but all the reinforcement on the palm and finger tips makes these gloves stiff. From a durability stand point these seem solid but they ruin any dexterity you'd expect from non reinforced goat skin gloves. I'm probably going to have to soak them to get a better fit.

Tillman GlovesThese gloves are quite simply the only gloves I will use anymore. They fit snugly allowing for a degree of dexterity that makes my work considerably easier. The palm, and the palm-side of the fingers provide sure grip, the synthetic material on the back allows for some (not a lot, granted) ventilation.I do find that I will tear through about one pair a month but I am using them to work with extremely sharp sheet metal stock and I am wearing them at least six hours each day. The wrist strap I find to be completely unnecessary and is such a bother that I now cut them off before wearing the gloves. The price, when all is said and done, I feel is probably a bit high, considering their limited useable lifespan, but for me absolutely worth it. I would gladly recommend these gloves to any metal worker.(I would like to mention that these gloves seem to run a bit small so take that into account when ordering.)

Very good work gloves, sturdy and long lasting. Have always ordered and comfortably worn a size Large however the two pairs that I received seemed very tight compared to prior purchases hence the 4 star rating. Perhaps these pairs will break in okay after being worn. Next time I will order Extra Large.
