well they turned up today and took them out as clearing brambles i was grabbing the bramble as if it was hazel did not feel a thing. need to get them broken in as tight but these compared to welding gloves no contest.

worth every penny. just need to put the arm part from welding gloves on them as cuffs are short.

thanks rover and digga should have got them when i tried yours digga.

maybe not have got bitten so much if i had them.

There is that Matt, as you said on page1!

These are the real deal though.

 

I may even cut my bastardtax on thorn work!

 

That's worrying, I cant remember posting that on page 1!

Still good to know that my thoughts are consistent even if my memory has large holes starting to appear in it.
