I am a landscaper who purchased these gloves with the intention of using them daily at work. The first time I wore them was during a saturday of work around my house. After a few hours of moving some stone for a wall I am building and raking some leaves, I noticed two tears along the seams on both middle fingers. The seam along my left index finger was also beginning to tear. I may have been putting some serious stress on the gloves as I was moving some of the larger pieces of stone but was surprised to see them ripping so soon. Very expensive throw away gloves, wouldn't recommend buying if you will be doing and hard work.
