I used a pair of these gloves for less than a month and the stitching on the fingers gave out in one place and had started to come apart in about 3 others. I had used the gloves around my home, doing light carpentry and groundswork.It appears from the reviews that I'm not the only one to have this problem.I called Ironclad and they said, probably defective, no problem just return to amazon - which I did, and received a full refund.I'd be willing to try them again, but I ended up purchasing a different brand from a local vender.
