Are these gloves good for heavy construction work?

Yes. The leather build and reinforced wear points are aimed at industrial and trade use, and they handle rough, abrasive material well. They are not the best pick for fine assembly work.

How do they fit when new?

Expect a stiff, snug fit at first. Leather work gloves like these loosen and mold to the hand after a few days of use, so a tight start is normal.

Can I use them in wet conditions?

They handle damp work but are not waterproof. Wet leather dries slowly and stiffens, so dry them away from direct heat and condition them afterward.

How should I care for the leather?

Brush off dirt, keep them dry and apply a leather conditioner now and then. Regular conditioning keeps the leather supple and stops it from cracking.

Are they touchscreen compatible?

No. These are plain leather work gloves with no conductive fingertips, so you will need to remove them to use a phone.

What are they best for compared with fabric gloves?

They last longer and resist abrasion and cuts better than fabric or coated gloves. Fabric gloves are lighter and more breathable but wear out faster on rough surfaces.
