On a recent heavy gardening remodelling project I went through 3 pairs of leather work gloves in 4 weeks so decided to give the Polyco mad grips a try. They are really tough. They are less cumbersome than thick rigger gloves and allow a fair amount of dexterity. Where they come into their own is the grip - they allow safe handling of rocks and their design results in less fatigue on the hands. They are tough enough to withstand the abrasive damage that wears out other gloves. They are comfortable, breathable and I would seriously consider giving them a go if you have a tough project in mind.
Amazing, this is my second pair of Mad grip gloves because I was so impressed with the previous pair which lasted years!
The grip speaks for its self but because its a mixture of material and whatever you can still use your hands freely, I have recommended them to all my friends.
