HATCHResister Cut Resistant Glove with KEVLAR

Great

I have purchased numerous pairs of these Hatch Kevlar lined gloves over the years. They're a great fitting relatively thin glove with the added protection of Kevlar. They're a nice quality leather, comfortable, and very durable. I ride a motorcycle and wear them all year long, they're warm enough for cooler weather, but not too hot for the summer. They do not get all stretched out, and fit snugly but break in very nicely. The quality is such that I have never had them wear out, or break stitches. I have, however, seen them fade on the backs of the hand. no doubt due to hours of prolonged exposure to direct sunlight while riding, but this is to be expected. One note of caution, if they get wet, since they are real leather, you need to keep in mind they may shrink a tad if you dry them out too quickly. Otherwise I cannot say enough positive about these gloves.

Like other reviews have said, they run small. Going with my gut I got a size bigger than I normally wear and they fit nicely. A nice, tight fit. I soaked them in warm water for 15 minutes, rung them out, then wore them until dry and they are now broken in to a even nicer fit.I see people on here complaining about them being too tight...well they are designed for law enforcement type jobs for searching suspects so they are supposed to be tight! You don't want loose gloves when searching someone because you won't be able to feel items in the pockets as well as you would if they were loose. That being said, I can pick a quarter up off the ground with these gloves on.They are a little thicker than the plain leather ones are because they have a Kevlar lining on the inside of them. It don't make that much of a difference though; to me the added cut protection is worth it and it still functions nearly identical to the thinner ones.They are not cut proof, though. They do add cut protection just in case someone does have a open knife or razor blade hidden in their pocket. They are not poke proof either by any means, nothing is. As long as you do what you are trained to do and don't dive in blind and wrecklessly then it should protect you from a glancing blow from a needle.Overall the glove is perfect for what it's supposed to do. All leather means you are offered fluid protection as well (even though the description does not tell you that). Much better than nylon type material in which fluids can soak into. Only reason for 4 stars is because the sizing is not true. I measure out and wear an 8 in gloves and I had to go a size up. But all in all, I recommend this product.

Love these gloves. Insulate fairly well (I spend a good hour or so in the morning at work in a walk-in freezer and these keep my hands warmish. Not the MOST insulating but adequate) and provide a good firm grip. Feel tight on the hand. However, if you order a pair and they seem just a bit too small, don't exchange them for the next size up like I did. I ordered a medium, then exchanged for a lg. After about a week of usage, I broke in the larges and they fit a little too loosely for my liking. I'm a tall guy (6ft) with big hands, and the mediums would've been better after a week or so. Enough flexibility to almost fully extend all fingers and agile enough to tie a shoelace without struggling.

I work in EMS and there are times when Nitrile gloves just do not "cut it" (pardon the pun) when dealing with certain patients.Heroin use is rampant and needles are a huge concern.I read all of the reviews concerning ordering a size larger but I went with my gut and ordered my normal glove size (L). I'm glad I did. Yes, the elastic cuff is tight, but that is exactly what I wanted. The gloves fit as I had hoped, but I went a step further as I wanted them to fit like a second skin. I put the gloves on, then dressed them with rubbing alcohol to relax the leather, and while wearing them, i used a heat gun at the lowest setting(a hair drier might work at the high temp, held close), to "contract" the leather to the contours of my hands and fingers.I need to be able to feel through My gloves like I can with My fingers.The glove leather as well as the lining conformed to my hands to My relief.I am prone to hand sweats when wearing leather gloves, and these do not cause hand sweat, at least not with Me.Once the gloves were fitted to My hands, I dressed them with Leather Honey to soften them for grip.I did not experience the odd stitching differences such as thumb,finger differences that other's have sighted in their reviews.I am VERY OCD when it comes to My uniform fit and My equipment performance and I can honestly say....these gloves are well worth the money and effort !I am ordering 3 more pair. (in case they stop producing them).

Great motorcycle glove for warm weather. It does run VERY small, however. I measured my palm at 8.5 inches and ordered an XL after reading reviews on here. Used them for a few weeks but they were just not comfortable due to compacting my thumb/pad area. Turned out I needed one more size up. I ordered the XXL, soaked them, and rode them dry. Perfect fit now!I'll add that even wearing the smaller ones for a while and stretching the (&$% out of them, they never pulled a thread or ripped.
