Love these Iron Fencer double palm gloves, these are the only glove that stands up to incredible use on this mountain cattle ranch! For me it’s about 3-4 weeks until I get the first glove hole in the summer. But a single hole in a glove doesn’t stop a guy like me, I just keep chasing cows and fixing high forest fences. Usually end up with 2-3 pairs spring-summer. These gloves last at least 2 weeks better than other brands. Double index finger is particularly helpful running barbed wire. In fall I size up one size to double palm iron fencers XL and line with standard knit cotton roping gloves instead of insulated gloves which don’t last as long at the seams. After that, it’s time to switch to waterproof ranch mittens for winter calving season. I would literally buy these gloves by the case or by the dozen if I could find them.
