Wouldn't have thought so.... fine against cuts from smooth blades but anything spiky will go straight through I would imagine....

But what will you do later if you can't mess about pulling thorns out your arms?!

These are what you need, Thorne proof and you can still use a chainsaw/hedge trimmer, even used them climbing before now, well topping a Hawthorne hedge. Last a couple of years if you look after them. Which makes £30 not too bad.

They are standard issue here for French climbers and practicioners of the cut and hold technique.

Also, no good against thorns and rather hot too.

used a pair of welders gauntlets for bramble etc, no problems and cheaper

[Dave Alviti]

I used to do the same till I tried these and realised how rubbish welders gauntlets are, they have no dexterity at all, not enough to use a 200t anyway

Nought wrong with being 'Girly'! personally I find my 'Harke waterproof jacket gives good protection from thorns, and chainsaw gloves, but if its hot weather that can be uncomfortable! (I have noticed that men dont seem to feel thorns, or are they just being very macho?)
