These are great gloves for gardening. They are flexible, I can pinch weeds in my garden and pickup small objects; comfortable, even when your hands get sweaty, you can remove them for relief easily and put them on again, the wrist band covers well; quickly dried when they get wet I was using cotton jersey type gloves, but never again. I don't have an idea of how long they will last, but if they last just this season I would consider purchasing another pair for my mom.
