How is the durability and grip of these gloves?

Grip is fine. I haven't tried picking up any small smooth objects like an iphone, but then who would under water. I can grip the equipment without any issues. And things like shells are easy to pick up. I think they should be durable since they are thick. So issues so far.

While I don't think these gloves were made with weight-lifting specifically in mind, I can tell you that I've worn mine 40 hours every work week, for very arduous, hands-on, heavy lifting work, for about a month and a half now. They're holding up brilliantly. The palms and fingertips are a durable-weight leather, the stitching is very sturdy, and the wrists are elastic, with adjustable Velcro closure, so I bet they would stand up to weight-lifting fairly well. The only drawback with weight-lifting might be that the palms are extremely durable, but not terribly breathable. (Unlike the backs which are a lighter-weave fabric, and nicely breathable.) Hope this answers your question!

They seem to be sized just right. I get these (size medium) for my girlfriend and they are perfect for her medium hands. They are very tight for my larger hands.

I have noticed some minor cracks at the joints after several months of heavy use but they have not affected the functionality of the gloves and overall they are still in very good condition.

Padding is a bit less with these gloves, but that's probably the case because they are full fingered. However, I think they protect your whole hand very well.

They seem pretty durable, but that's some pretty intense wear. I'm sure they would wear out faster than normal if you were doing that very often. I would worry more about them sliding around when climbing up. They fit well, but with that kind of pull, they might twist on your hand.

I have not, per se, but I have been using them for shooting and the are great! Good feel and I've had the glove caught in the action a couple times w/o a mark on the material. Don't know if this helps...

Hello Lovin: I have had these gloves since July, 2013, use them weekly, and have had no problem with leaking or any other problem.

I use mine for kettle bell workout and have not seen any wear or tear! I also use them for rough metal barbells with no damage done to them. These gloves are great! I have now ordered two pairs for friends!

I've had no problems with the grip. It's a manmade suede material on the palms.

Great dexterity and grip. Very warm as well. You just have to be careful as the gloves cut easily.

I have owned these for a while and use them incessantly during winter months...the grip is very good, I would give it an 8 out of 10. The durability really depends on what you are doing with them...I would give them a 6 out of 10.

Very durable. A little tricky to use but the glove helps you not get burned.

They are mesh gloves with rubber dipped fingers and palm. The back of the hand is not water proof, but the gloves are good to maintain finger dexterity and grip.

I believe they would be. I've taken a few falls with these on asphalt and these gloves saved my hands.

I would say they are Medium. They are stretchy and fit my medium size hands well.

These gloves work great. I got them to prevent exactly the reason you are considering purchasing them. You can get a good grip.
