My first order of business with this and every product review is a disclaimer: I am not a professional contractor. I am a farmer and a fine furniture maker. When it comes to construction and renovation projects, I’m a DIYer and weekend warrior. That said, I doubt many professional contractors will be reading my tool reviews. My goal in reviewing tools and products is to provide honest feedback based on my own use and experience with these tools to other regular folks like me- wanting to get their hands dirty, try new things, and get the best value for their hard earned dollars. 

Let’s talk about the PRO-Fit Flex Impact Gloves with Touchscreen Compatibility

These gloves are well made and have stood up to a lot of wear and tear around the farm. Their single best feature is the touchscreen-compatible index finger, which is hugely helpful for me whether I’m opening Instagram to do a “story” capturing a precious moment between the animals while I’m cleaning the barn or pausing on my tractor to take a call. These gloves are made from durable, vented heavy duty synthetic leather with reinforced high-wear areas and have full back of hand dorsal and finger impact protection. My hands don’t get nearly as sweaty wearing them as they would with traditional leather gloves, and I can rest easy knowing there is extra protection built into the gloves to protect the back of my hands and fingers safer from impact. The stretch lycra and i-mesh back give their S, M, and L sizes added adaptability to the wearer. At $17 per pair, I’d definitely ask a lot more of them than I would regular old garden gloves, and these do have a lot more to offer there. As someone who has very, very small hands, it’s pretty tough to find work gloves made for men that will work well with my small, feminine hands. These gloves fit better than others, but I could definitely use a still smaller size, so while I personally wouldn’t pay the $17 for a single pair of ill-fitting gloves, I’ve given several pairs to folks helping me around the farm (who have much bigger hands) who have given me really great feedback. And, to be clear, I still wear them all the time, I go through gloves like nobody’s business around here, but I do wish they fit me better.
