MAGID T-REX Rebel Series TRX814 Goatskin para-Aramid Lined Driver Impact Glove – Cut Level A6-10/XL (1 PR)

Don’t use anywhere near a grinder or sparks, these things burn fast and get a nice little flame on them. They never claim to be fire resistant and they otherwise are great gloves

I think the best thing about these gloves is the goatskin. It has some real heft and thickness to it that should guarantee a long service life. From the tag it seems to be 50% leather and 50% synthetic, but it feels like natural leather to me. I would have preferred a darker shade to it so that it doesn't show dirt and stains so much, but mine are still pretty clean and look good. The tag says you can machine wash in cold water, so I might consider trying that at some point. I suppose the ribs on the fingers are mash protection and that actually seems like a good idea that maybe more work gloves could employ. I'm not sure who picked out the bright green for those ribs and the T-rex logo, but I'd have picked something different. I'm assuming the cut and puncture ratings are on target as the gloves do seem sturdy. The one thing that strikes me as off about these is how short the fingers seem to be. I have size L which is OK for gloves like this for me even though M might be what the size chart would suggest. So even though my hands shouldn't be close to being too big for these and my fingers aren't especially long, the glove fingers are barely long enough for my comfort. You might consider a size up if you have kind of long fingers.

My spouse has fairly average size large man hands, and these fit just a bit snug on him compared to basically any other brand he owns. The finger length and width are both a bit snug, as well as the wrist area and the palm fit. He can wear them, and they are loosening up with time, but the fit is just more snug than typical.The way they are made, they just slide on and off the hand. I don't know if they will hold up to long term use of pulling them on and off in this manner, but so far, so good. He usually prefers a velcro or hook and loop closure so they can be secured into place and not come off as easily if hung up or he's tugging on something. The impact resistance works well and he says they're great for working on the mower and other equipment around the farm. It's saved a few knuckles from being scuffed and chewed up.I'm unsure about the ratings on these. The tag inside gives higher ratings than the description, but it seems the description has been fixed. They're nice for general farm and home mechanic use. The price is fair at just $14. If on the cusp of a size, I'd size up for a better fit.

Compared to other 9/L size gloves from Magid, these are very tight in the fingers. The fingers may be a tad short as well. I think it's the protective lining. I thought they would work loose over time but so far they haven't. The fingers actually get to be painful and bother my knuckles.I like the nimbleness offered by the leather palms and the protective plastic on the back of the gloves makes me want to punch through something just because I can. I don't like the cuff at all as it's blousy and loose. It does protect the top of my wrist no matter the angle and maybe that's why it's loose.These Magid gloves are well made and have excellent leather and are just about bullet proof. They aren't my favorite though and I'll not be wearing them because of the discomfort.

The gloves are comfortable, but a little tight at the bases of my fingers - they need some breaking in (the gloves, not my fingers.) What's confusing is the puncture resistance. The big logo on the wrist has three ratings under it: A6 cut resistance, 3 puncture resistance, 1 impact. The sewn-in label has: A6 cut, 4 puncture and no mention of impact.The glove is real Goat Skin and is as supple as a pair of driving gloves. There's a very weak single elastic gather in the wrists and the glove opening is large - so they pull off easily. That can be bad or good, depending on the situation.

I like Magid gloves in general, but these let me a bit underwhelmed. They're comfortable and have a good rating for protection, but the fingers seem a bit short, and there is for all intents and purposes no cuff on these. They don't gather at the wrist at all--it's like sticking your hand into a bag with fingers. That might be fine, for instance if you're wearing something with bulky sleeves and you want the glove to ride up over them. In general, though, it just felt odd to me--I've grown much more accustomed to gloves that are fitted at the wrist.

These are more on the protection side of the glove balance than they are the feel and dexterity optimized side.The material and construction quality are quite nice. They are certainly more sophisticated of a design and more flexible than old-school hard leather gloves are.Provide some good vibration isolation which is great with impact type tools.

These are quite comfortable. Surprisingly, I also found them to be much more flexible than the MAGRID T-REX Flex Series Knit Impact Glove with Crinkle Latex Palm – Cut Level A4 that I also have. The palm of this Rebel is much more flexible than latex over knit palm of the Flex.But that’s JustMe. (I received this product in exchange for an honest review, and that is what I have offered here.)
