These are now my husband's favorite gloves! We bought our first pair(s) at our local North 40 store because they were on sale (buy one get one free). These fit so much better than the ones we were buying at Costco, and they are very sturdy and yet flexible. The flexibility is important to a lot of what we do. We own a ranch, and we are always working on the equipment, fighting out way through wild rose bushes, fixing fence, digging in the garden, etc.
