HATCH Resister Cut Resistant Glove with KEVLAR

You must acquit!a little thicker than I thought.So, maybe, not an ideal "search" glove.But, well made nevertheless.

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).

Love the fit of these wish they just kept my hands a little bit warmer other than that great gloves.

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.

Great gloves!! These are my second pair in 2 years. My first pair are still holding up just fine, but I figured I should grab a second for back up. Can't beat the price!!overall fit is snug, but will break in beautifully after the second or so ride. The kevlar liner is just right, not too rough or too soft. The leather is pretty thick and the fingers are wide enough. Coming from a guy with chubby fingers.I run pretty warm in temperature, so an extra glove liner was not necessary in cooler temperatures. If you are sensitive to chilly weather then I recommend a liner with these gloves. Breathability hasn't been an issue for me during the summer time... not saying I haven't had a sweaty hand here and there, it's just not an issue for me.I wear an XL in most gloves and these were no different, though I do have some space on the top of my fingers.**image** new pair of gloves are on the left and the used pair are on the right.

As a patrol Deputy Sheriff, I've used this model of gloves for over 15 yrs. This is my 4th or 5th pair. They have all performed as advertised, saving on a few occasions from cuts and to a lesser degree unintentional needle sticks. The leather holds up to near daily use for years in my experience and become more comfortable as you wear them (minimal brake in if any.)For perfessional use, they are the compromise I'm comfortable with between a search glove, a shooting glove and a hands on bad guy glove.I continue to use them as long as Hatch makes them.

This pair came in a shrunk, sloppily wrapped plastic bag with no tags or product info.I ordered another pair 1 size bigger (2X) and the gloves came in a decent package, attached together with an elastic band, attached to a cardboard placard. The 2nd set also had the company logo on them (the 1st set did not) leading me to believe the first set was 1. Returned and 2. Not real Hatch product. Glad I returned them or I wouldn't have known.

I bought these gloves needing a pair of field gloves for the purpose of picking up hazardous items such as drug paraphernalia and sharp objects. I was skeptical because the price of the gloves were cheap but choose to give them a shot. When they arrived I found they fitted fairly tight but after breaking them in and stretching the leather they fit perfectly on my hands. I decided to test out their stab resistance and used a sewing needle to test the resistance against pokes and stabs. To my surprise the needle bent significantly before the needle could pierce the leather outer-shell. I am confident in the gloves ability to protect against actual medical injection needles However this glove is resistance and not stab/slash proof.
