Rugged, versatile, peace-of-mind gloves!

+ Survived my mud run & Spartan race excursions 🐒. Saved my palms and fingers from blisters and splinters on the obstacle courses' coarse objects. In my video (first part), you can see I wore these gloves to traverse a Spartan coarse and handle worn out objects (the spear missing the tip), saving my hands from any skin damage :D

+ Excellent grip. Useful for navigating monkey bars. (video, 2nd part)

+ Granted my hand extra safety assurance from shatter fragments when I used the glass breaker tool. (vid, 3rd prt)

+ Allows me to safely hold shatter fragments (glass or ceramic) without fear of nicks or cuts.

+ Long-lasting. Been using them for various activities, including wilderness bouldering and monkey bars, across 2-3 years. Still mc'lovin' it. They use a tough, durable leather and nylon.

+ Not particularly meant for warmth, but if your hands feel slightly cold, I can see these gloves keeping them warm a little. The focus of these gloves is for heavy-duty activity, not keeping warm.

. Sizing: As a 5'8" 150-lb guy who always chooses Large shirts, the X-Large size on these gloves fits me perfectly.

+ Completely worth the money. $16 in Mar 2023; $20 in May 2026.

Poor durability

Multiple rips and tears within 8 months of ocassional use. I contacted company for warranty replacement, but they said it is normal wear and tear. I would spend a few more dollars and get the big brands which honor warranty and are more durable.

Very poor quality

Very poor materials used. Won’t recommend

Calidad

Excelente calidad, precio y se ajustan bien.

Finger ripped out after light use

Finger ripped out within the first week.

Wouldnt Buy Again. [For delicate work only]

Overall performance has been decent. Unfortunately, for a sparingly used utility glove, I am surprised at how it has deteriorated doing basic house chores, such as moving yard items etc. The fit was great, and it held its shape. The time [pic #3] have ripped opened and have resulted in my fingers getting damaged.

Don't last.

Just don't last any longer than the ones in Lowes. Disappointing.

Wear out quickly

I have had these for less than a month, and have used them 12-15 times. The velcro works fine, and the backs of the gloves are holding up, but the fronts are wearing very fast. They will be warn out within the next 30 days. Expected more for the price. Would not buy again.

They are great, but….

Gloves are great, i have decently big hands, but… the thumb part of the glove is huge, it can fit a middle finger, but other than that, it’s fine🤝🏽

Quality is slipping significantly.

I've been buying these gloves since 2020. The most recent two pairs have had blowouts. Ironclad was kind enough to replace the pair before this one, but stated that it would be a one time only replacement. They usually last until a hole appears in one of the fingers, but these days I can't even get them to look like they've been used. I was hoping it was a one time thing, but two in a row seems to confirm my assessment.

Second submission of this review, to add that another pair has had a blowout after very little use. That's three in a row!

Definitely worth it

Great quality, comfortable and fit well. Gripping is great. Thick yet still flexible. Hands feel very safe and protected. I don’t feel like any function of my hand is restricted so they work great for me. As far as value for money I would recommend. My wife now wants a pair for gardening. She says her hand feels like it’s getting hugged.

Flexible gloves with reinforced palm

Comfortable fit, great quality work gloves!

These are the best gloves for his ups package handling job

My BF loves these!! These work gloves are very durable and very comfortable to work with. The grip is really good and they protect his hands well. We've been through several gloves for him and these seem to last the longest and work best. These are a good value. These are reliable, water resistant, durable, easy to work with, and dependable. The stitching is done very well and these are breathable. Has good elastic and fit true to size. Thank you

Long-lasting

I work in importing/exporting and this pair lasted me over a month of daily use. The new pair I have, haven’t ripped at all under the same use for more than a month, though I removed my rings and I believe that has helped.

Highly recommend.

Worth the buy

At first, I thought these gloves were not very good, and I needed to spend better money or buy a different brand. The blue gloves came from Lowe’s, and that was only being used for two weeks. The ironclad, was used for six months.

Limited Durability

Fit well and comfortable even as they began to fall apart. Probably fine if you're just holding onto a shovel handle, but these only lasted me 2 months of weekend home renovation projects before my fingers poked through. Photos attached were my second pair after experiencing the same on my first.

Manufacturer recommends washing and air drying for increased life. This does not seem practical for my work gloves with the materials and debris that they are handling.

Now on the search for something that is better than "iron clad."

Quality is questionable

So i do freight overnight and i handle boxes all night this is my third pair of these gloves the first pair i ordered was great they lasted about 6 months then i order another pair they lasted about 3 months and this pair i just ordered last a little over a month doing the same job as when i ordered the first pair so im kinda disappointed i feel the quality of the glove has changed not sure if the out sourced it or what but i might have to switch to a different set of gloves

Lasted one week...

The gloves fit perfectly but don't last long if you are working with really abrasive surfaces. I recommend the Ansell Hyflex 11-727 gloves instead. Those Ansell Hyflex 11-727 gloves are ANSI Abrasion Resistance Level 6. That's the highest abrasion resistance level there is.

Originally, I wrote:

"I have long skinny fingers and I was afraid that the large would not fit right. No need to worry the fit of the glove is custom!"

Certainly, the gloves are beautiful and comfortable. That's still true, but please save your money if you are going to use Ironclad Gloves for working with abrasive materials. They don't last.

Bang for the Buck

These gloves work/fit very well and are definitely a bang for the buck item. I wore them thru a weekend of python hunting in a treacherous Everglade environment & they held up very well in comfortable fashion. I even took a strike to the thumb from an 8' python w/no damage to my hand.

My Go To Gloves For Work

I’ve order multiple pairs of these but have yet to leave a review. I’m a over the road truck driver and I usually order a new pair every 2-3 months when I come home. These gloves do the trick when fueling with diesel, and connecting to the trailer and getting in and out of trailer. They feel pretty comfortable, only thing is during the winter I have to work fast because my hands can only stay warm for so long in these Lol. Other than that these gloves are probably my go to

Excellent gloves for general labor

Been using these gloves for warehouse work for a few weeks and they're the best I've used compared to even some "Uline" brand ones I had. The leather tips on the thumb, index and middle finger help with grip. The palm has reinforced padding while still keeping the glove ergonomic, and the rubber wedge at the wrist indeed helps putting on your gloves effortlessly especially since you have more space for your hand with the velcro unstrapped.

Best fit of all the work gloves. Wore them out.

I picked up these gloves after using the measurement table, and I have to say: these are the best fitting gloves I've used. Tactile and thin enough to feel and manipulate delicate things, (screws, plugs, nuts and washers) but padded in the palms and the "front ridge" of my palm for carrying heavy/thin objects like plywood sheets or roofing materials.... when normally those things dig in, with these, they don't.

I finally retired my gloves after about 9 months of building. (See pics) I was out of the country, so I couldn't get more, but I've ordered 3 more pair to take with me next time. The "Ranch Works" gloves are good too. 👍 I use them for yard work where sensitive tactile feel isn't required.

Excellent value, long lasting, great fit,

and sensitive but strong.... like me. 😉

Great for my work

Comfortable gloves with the ironclad plastic piece coming off one of the gloves but I used it at work to break boxes down so I'm satisfied

Decent and inexpensive gloves, although not super durable

They torn in about two months of work on a fiber. They keep warm well, so you can work up to 30 degrees, but not lower. Finger tips securely grip any slippery fiber zip tie

Durability not good

I used them for like 2 weeks at work and the 3rd week this happened smh

Fuertes y buena sensación de Seguridad

Primera vez que los compro. La talla M está perfecta para mí y resultan muy cómodos. Queda muy bien ajustado a la mano.

La experiencia con una pantalla de telefono celular funciona medianamente bien en ocasiones, pero en mi trabajo con madera el polvo hcae que pierdan sensibilidad.

En general muy buenos. Volveré a comprar.

Decent glove but I may have got one of the defects...

I've had these gloves for about 4 months now. I'm a delivery driver and of my 7-9 hour day, I wear these about a total of 2-3 hours per day. The left hand has held up well but the right is falling apart. The seam on the middle finger has split, the palm padding is wearing away and rubber band across my knuckles is coming apart.

Touch screen accessibility has never worked for me. They resist sweat fairly well and as I said before, the left hand glove has held up rather well.

I'd most likely buy these again.

Favorite gloves ever!!!

Me: average size woman with “man” hands due to building lots of things. I wear these gloves for almost everything that I make, they allow me the dexterity to pick up small nails and are tough enough to hold long wood screws steady drilling them in. I’m replacing them only because I’ve washed them so many times that they’re starting to loose their shape (see photo).

Highly recommend, no complaints whatsoever!

Broken seam in finger

Had to go online to buy small gloves - I’m a woman and our big box blue store didn’t carry any smalls. I love these for heavy duty work and would give them 5 stars except the seam broke open in one of the fingers the second time I used them.

Great product for projects around the house.

This is a pretty good product, i took a large and it fits perfectly on my hands I am 5ft 9", I weigh 184 lbs and my hands are 9" so I took the large. I haven't use it yet but by looking and feeling it seems like it's good material and great for doing small projects. You can't lose from investing a little money in this product. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
