I have used these gloves for years and they usually stand up well. All gloves wear out in time if you're using them for work.These gloves had areas that were noticeably softer in spots than others of the same brand that I bought in stores. After only a few days or hours, the fingers that felt soft had the material come apart under only moderate work. These soft spots had the feel of cheap suede instead of the leather on the rest of the glove.I can't help but wonder if these were factory seconds.They were also 3-5 dollars more expensive than the same ones on the hook in the store.the convenience of ordering were not worth the price and lack of durability. I bought two pairs in a store several months ago and they are holding up fine.

Apparently 2 pack in the listing means 2 gloves. Hoping for a deal but guess not. Buyer beware.Gloves themselves are nice.

Very nice.

I wear these to cut and split firewood. They are durable and comfortable. There sizing chart is accurate, they fit very well.

I was gifted a pair of Kinco gloves. I have been wearing them daily for all kinds of farm chores for nearly six months. I was overly impressed by their endurance. One finger of one glove finally wore through on the front of the finger. So I decided to buy more Kinco gloves. This new pair lasted all of three days before ripping out. I had only used them for about 90 minutes two days, and two hours the third day weeding a tea plot. Admittedly, there were lots of brambles and I was poked through the gloves numerous times. But every poke was through the front of the glove where I was gripping blackberry vines to pull them out. I discovered the tear when I returned to the house. It is on the back side next to the index finger and the seam at that point. With such a large hole I immediately checked my hand for cuts or scratches. There were none. Nothing caught on the glove and nothing poked through it there. It simply tore open. I have another similar pair of Kinco gloves on their way to me. I'll see if they do any better :).4/5/2023 - I continued to use these gloves, and both gloves continued to tear apart on the back of, and between the fingers. I continued to use them for very light work, just moving split pieces of firewood to prevent splinters. Still, they continue to fall apart. On a brighter note, the second pair I ordered has not shown the same fault. The newer ones are the Kinco gloves with the pull strap, and most similar to my original gifted pair (B00APL2PPW). I have used them more than the gloves on this page, and they have, so far, held up normally. Shoddy manufacturing, or fake leather on these gloves? Some good, some bad? Hard to tell.

I wouldn't use them for sanding or gardening, but outside of that they are the best gloves I've used for general labor.

I put over 100 hours of trail maintaining work hours on tough New England trails and these things have held up impeccably. Since they are so cheap, I bought a second pair as backup but I don’t think I’m ever going to need them!
