Would it protect me from a monkey trying to bite my finger off?

Probably not. The glove will protect you from a long blade going across your finger or hand. It will not protect you from a sharp poke like from an ice pick or, in this case, a sharp tooth of an animal. The glove is made up of a metal mesh that cannot stop a small but strong piercing. It has protected my hand from slicing knives and blade cutters. Hope this helps!

Not without a lot of force and opposable thumbs! I hope that makes sense. It CAN be removed by a human, but a cat is not capable of doing it... we hope... ;)

I would trust it against spider bites, but not against snake bites. Although, I've never used the suit for either application, only with bees.

Yes. Definitely adds a layer of protection. I let my children try woodcarving using one on their non-dominant/holding hand. So far, so good. Don't be over-confident, but these should really help.

I think so. It is super soft. You just have to make sure it's tight on your finger and won't come off in his mouth.

Mostly likely not because it is very securely attached and you would probably scratch the body and it would also leave marks where it was.

I took mine off. A skin would probably work, but I bet it would make the touchscreen less responsive.

Probably not. I think area between thumb and forefinger would be too tight. It's a bit tight for me--a 115 lb female with thin hands.

I have to agree with the questioner here. I stuck *one* finger in it and when i tried to pull it out, my finger was stuck and hurt quite a bit when I was finally able to get it out. It is WAY too stiff and not soft at all. My toy poodle has titty bitty paws and cried when i tried to pull it out (no problems going in though).

I do not know if snakebite proof, I don't think so. They are designed for welding. I would google gloves that were designed for snakebites. There should be such gloves. I am thinking that there would be some maybe having an outer layer of cowhide with tightly woven metal mesh lined between it and a soft inner lining. Most poisonous snakes have long sharp teeth with a very strong hinged clasp once they bite, so fInd the right glove protection .

No! I used it on my 7yo's finger, and within 3 days when I pulled off the cover it was bleeding and could see the inside of his finger. He was crying for five minutes and he never cries and generally recovers from almost any injury instantly.

It would keep your hands safe but is not good for fine or delicate work. I don't think you'd be very happy with it for that purpose.

ladybugroove, my experience is similar to Gerry Mullen's. They have provided me with excellent wrist protection from abrasion. Conjecture on my part, but I would expect that the protection from thumb hyper-extension is limited to the tensile strength of the leather. They leave a substantial minority of my fingers exposed to impact and abrasion as well. That said, I would buy these again. They have done a superb job of protecting my wrists.

It can be worn as a piece of jewelry, but I wouldn't recommend it if you plan to use it in a self-defense situation. The weird alignment might lead to a broken finger bone or knuckle.

I have a dragon, and when we bites the gloves while worn it is very padded. But I have a dragon and it does not have fangs, so I'm not sure if it's safe.

It would be possible. But, I keep a cover on my phone for protection. The phubby was just to keep it handy. I quit using it because it was too tight and uncomfortable to wear.

It could, but the leather will only cover your hand partially. The same happens with large hands or if you want to use it a little loose. Anyway, it's not a deal breaker.
