They're a bog standard design, you can get similar from Toolstation etc. I have a few pairs that I bought for cold weather, but they are such a pain to get on and you can't feel a thing using them.

At first glance they look similar but when you look closer they are quite different, and going by your experience, plainly nowhere near as good.

Well the ones you want are discontinued, for £7 give them a try.

Resistance to Abrasion lvl 4 ones wear out slower

I wear a lot of cheap and cheerful leather rigger gloves, they might be resistant to a lot of things but usually in the bin well before from wearing out the fingertips.

The gloves with latex don't seem to wash successfully - anyone suggest good washable gloves?

I wash my Showa 310's, chuck in with coloured. Helps when they get smelly after wet work days.

I have 4 types depending on use.  Really thin for mechanicing & dexterity (dont last long), general heavy duty for yard work, thermal ones if really cold & leather easy to put on/off for deliveries.  To be fair I've tried most and never found any that last long.  Only pair that have lasted are the blue kevlar ones but a little stiff.

Whatever cut resistant ones I can pickup when the previous ones wear through.

They don't go through between thumb and finger or at the finger tips as quickly as regular gloves.

 

Cutting on the saw I have some Mechanix CG that look pricey at first, but better value on cost over lifetime for something that is actually hand shaped.
