Ah, I was looking for a long-term review of these. Thank you! FYI: ANSI cut level A5 isn't the highest. It goes up to A9. A5 is seen as "medium to heavy cut hazards" and is the lowest tier at which it is no problem to handle glass without any chance of cutting yourself, as well as most blades (though not razor blades, I believe)
I didn’t realize it went beyond A5, that’s good to know. I am still using this second pair of gloves so they are quite hardy for what I put them through.
@@inkiron3907 Well, this video made me order two pairs of these. They aren't available here in Europe for some reason so I've ordered them from the US through eBay. There aren't many brands that have gloves that are made from real, non-synthetic leather (I prefer goatskin) and have a decent cut resistance level. Most of the ones above let's say A4 are made from some kind of synthetic fabric or cloth. I guess perhaps because if you want leather and cut resistance it needs to be two-ply, namely leather and a cut-resistant lining. That's likely way more expensive to manufacture. I just really like the feel, thickness and sturdiness of leather gloves though, so these Milwaukees are perfect. Ironclad does have some with the same properties and even some with a rating > A5 but they're even harder to get here. There's also some Mechanix models with those properties (they even have leather gloves that are level A9) but I've read really bad things about their quality. Anyway, enough rambling. Thanks for showcasing the sturdiness of these, it enabled me to make an informed purchase

These gloves are the only ones I can use effectively against thistle
i normally work with oils, grease, lube, etc....will the goat skin leather cause it to be slippery when in use?
May i ask,is it heat resistant??
