[Leather] They're a little snug but they still fit and they're made extremely well. So far they're holding up and they're comfortable.

[0.15 lb] I use these gloves for working in the theatre and out on the road. They are great in every way, from handling lights to moving heavy road cases. I love these gloves and would buy another pair.

[0.15 lb] I was getting ready to work on my first set and needed something to protect my hands. Everyone I talked to recommended these so I decided to get them. These gloves were absolutely wonderful, and incredibly versatile. They went a long way to protect against the heat of set lights, and the cold of outdoor winter locations. I don’t know what I would have done if I didn’t have them. They were worth every dollar I spent on them.

[0.15 lb] The gloves work adequately well. I have used them heavily for about two weeks now, and there doesn't seem to be any sign of wear or tear, aside from the the loose threading that comes from the red threads. They prevent any burning and let me do the job I need to do when handling hot lights. I would say it's well worth it, but the pricing is, I feel, too steep for these gloves.

[0.15 lb] I love these gloves AFTER they are broken in. It takes a while to get them softened up and the first couple of times you get real sweaty in them the dye will leak making you think you really bruised your thumbs in weird ways. But after a a month or so of good wear they are perfect. I had my last pair for many years and was devastated when I lost just one (use the Velcro loop to keep them on a carabiner! Never trust a glove clip). I do wish the logo was a little more subtle though - it's a bit flashy for backstage work and I feel pretentious letting everyone know I bought the expensive gloves. But I do it because it's nearly impossible to find black fingerless gloves in small.

Note: I am female and my hands are not small in comparison to other women, but I ordered these in small and they are just slightly bigger than I'd like. As they wear in they will fit better I think. It's unfortunate they are not washable but I have found a few sanitizer sprays that I can spritz the inside with every few weeks to reduce glove stank.

[0.15 lb] Just awesome! Great padding on the palms which helps when lifting boxes or lighting equipment.
