I bought 2 pairs of this glove about 3 years ago for around $32 a pair. THOSE gloves were great, 3/4's of each finger and the entire palm reinforcement were leather w/ reinforced leather finger tips. One pair went to work immediately on demolition, material handling and other general construction tasks. That pair held together well for close to 6 months, the second pair for about 5. I thought, "Finally, a Mechanix glove that won't disintegrate the first week of use", so I set out to buy more Mechanix CG gloves and found that since I'd gotten the first pairs they'd changed the materials in these. Now the same glove only has leather on the working side of the fingers (1/4), the fingertips are now reinforced with synthetic material and the only leather on the palm is the padded strip (look at the image I posted to see what I mean) I hesitantly bought this version which lasted for 5-6 weeks, (the average lifespan of cheaper Mechanix gloves). Needless to say, I regretted not having bought an entire case of these when they first appeared but who could've known the quality would've suffered so drastically in so short a time. All in all, the ones pictured/for sale here, are just ok, they cost less than before and look cool but wtf does that do for us when they'll look like hobo's gloves in a few weeks.
