Are these gloves good for construction work?

Yes. The grain cowhide and gunn cut suit handling lumber, tools and equipment, and the wrist cinch keeps debris out. They have no impact or cut rating, so they are not a substitute for rated safety gloves.

How do they compare with synthetic work gloves?

Cowhide resists abrasion and scuffs better than most coated synthetic gloves and lasts longer on rough jobs. Synthetic gloves are lighter, more breathable and give better dexterity for fine work.

Can I use them for gardening and yard work?

Yes. They handle pruning, digging and hauling debris well. The leather stiffens if it gets soaked, so dry them away from direct heat.

Do they work for motorcycle riding?

They can be used for riding, but they are work gloves, not riding gloves. They have no knuckle armor or abrasion rating for road use.

How should I care for the leather?

Wipe off dirt, let them air dry away from heat, and apply a leather conditioner now and then to keep the hide supple.
