Liberty Glove & Safety mens work gloves, White/Blue, 12 Count Pack of 1 US

This 12 pair package of cotton canvas men's gloves is sold by Liberty Glove & Safety (www dot libertyglove dot com) in City of Industry, California and fulfilled by Amazon. I received them from Amazon as part of a multi-item shipment. They were packed in a clear plastic bag. The gloves were made in Pakistan out of 10 oz cotton canvas material. They have stretchable knit wrist cuffs and black PVC dots on the palm and fingers. The gloves are sewn in a "clute" pattern meaning the seams are across the back of the glove and the sides of the fingers, leaving a solid piece of material across the palm for comfort. There is no padding in the palm. I keep several types of gloves around the house. For really heavy duty jobs, I use thick cowhide gloves. They are stiff but provide very good protection against punctures and cuts. For medium duty jobs that still require leather gloves, I have several pairs of goatskin gloves and, for lightweight yard work and dirty disposable jobs, I use nitrile or light cotton canvas gloves such as these Liberty 4505A's. These cotton canvas gloves don't provide much protection, but they keep the dirt off your hands.You can usually find cotton canvas gloves in 8 oz, 10 oz, and 12 oz weights...I find the 10 oz weight material works the best for me. The material has a somewhat rough canvas texture on the outside, but since it is a thin cloth, it has good flexibility and stays fairly cool on hot days. It is well suited for normal yard work such as pulling weeds or working with tools. Of course, you may have to remove the gloves to manipulate smaller items more easily. As you can see in the product picture, the key feature of these gloves is an array of PVC (rubber-like) dots on the palm and fingers. I have found that normal canvas gloves tend to be somewhat slick which makes gripping tool handles difficult and tiring. The addition of PVC dots appears to solve this problem. Using these gloves, I have had no problems maintaining a solid grip on tools such as a metal lawnmower bar or a wooden hoe handle. As noted earlier, the gloves are made from thin cotton-like material and they offer almost no protection against punctures and cuts like wood splinters, nails, tacks, knife blades, etc. They are good for keeping poison ivy off your hands while pulling weeds, but I wouldn't grab a handful of brambles with them. You will be pulling thorns out of your hands.Overall, these are good economical gloves for yard work as long as you keep in mind that they are lightweight and offer only minimal protection. The thin material keeps them fairly cool on hot days and the PVC dots offer good gripping performance. You can find many almost identical gloves sold on Amazon (e.g., Kinco 862's) with varying levels of quality and features (e.g., padding in the palm, dots that wrap fully around the little finger, etc.), but, in my opinion, there is so little difference between the various brands, you should probably just go for the best deal rather than shop for a specific brand. Anyway, these Liberty 4505A's are a good value so five stars.

These have proven to be quite good compared to the ones I was buying in the store. Pretty thick and wear well. They were a little tight over the knuckles to begin with but have loosened up nicely, don't even notice the tightness any more once broke in. I wear a large for reference.

L size fits well. great light duty use. carried lumber and splinters will go thru but better than no gloves. I am happy with the gloves and price for 12 pairs is good.

Great glove, that is well made and durable. I wear a large glove; these gloves are extra large. I washed the gloves in warm water, and dried low heat for 30 minutes. They shrunk to a large and fit, perfectly. After, numerous washings, they held together, with no further shrinking. I use them for yard work and gardening. They are used hard, get encrusted with dirt and mud, but after going through the washer are as good as new.

I've been buying and using these gloves from Liberty for years, and won't purchase from anyone else.

My only complain is that the stitching is not really great. There are "gaps" in the seams that may affect the service life. The gloves are heavy enough to give reasonably long life, but still light enough to be very flexible. Compared to alternatives, these are a bargain! I would buy them again, but I suspect this bundle will last me many years.

I was shocked to receive 12 PAIRS! I thought I was going to receive 12 gloves. The vendor might want to make clear they are selling 12 Pairs, not 12 gloves. I used to use Wells Lamont Hob Nob gloves. These gloves are very similar but MUCH cheaper. The only difference I can tell is the elastic around the wrist is a little looser and the glove is a tad bit bigger, which I am happy about. It's great to not worry about damaging the gloves. I now have 12 PAIRS!
