Dickies Touchscreen Compatible Utility Work Gloves

This review is for "Dickies Touchscreen Compatible Utility Work Gloves" which are made of quality materials with great fit and finish. They feel decently durable and have a large range of motion which is form and functionality in action. they are made of mid weight fabric and leather. XL actually fits true to size unlike others who run small.

I'll compare these to what I'd expect from a pair of work gloves in the $20 price range. Pros: These appear well-made, are easy to put on and take off, and have a nice neutral appearance with mostly grey and black features. Palm and them are reinforced and although these appear to be constructed of all synthetic material, it looks like high grade material and the stitching is doubled in usual wear areas. I have big hands and for lots of gloves, "XL" is still restrictive, especially in the web between the thumb and palm areas, but these are fine in that regard. Cons: Calling these "touchscreen compatible" might be a little bit of a reach...The touch-sensitive material is in two places on each glove- The index finger and the thumb, and in both cases it's just on the "pad" of the end of that digit and not the tip where you'd usually contact a screen. I tested these with my phone and tablet and it's OK but you have to be pretty deliberate. I think this would be fine for "waking up" your device but it's hard to imagine typing a text or anything like that. I would not get these if you're expecting to have them on while you type out an email, etc. General: These are really summer and shoulder season gloves as there is mesh and perforated material. That's great for airflow but obviously a potential negative for winter. These are definitely not for use in the wet for the same reasons. I expect these to wear well but if not I will addend this review. I typically get 2-3 years out of a pair of work gloves (general home use, yard work, garage and basement cleaning, some demo work) and I think these will deal with that just fine.

Very nice, comfortable work gloves. The touch screen part works for now. I am not sure how well it will work as I wear these and get them dirty and worn.

These gloves seem to have more "features" than durability. All the vent holes are worthless -- and with the rear fabric that's full of holes, you're likely to get more dirt on your hands even thought they're in a glove. Also, the touchscreen feature is just okay -- you can answer a call, but don't expect to text. They're just too bulky. While the gloves are decently comfortable and true to size, I'm not sure I can attest to the durability. The fact that the palm has so many different stitches and fabric types, I feel that's a recipe for the glove to fall apart. Also, these are not cooler weather gloves, due to all the venting.

Nice, warm, but flexible work gloves. I was really pleased with these and annoyed that I lost one of them almost immediately. The quality of the materials is slightly above average but they're the only pair of gloves I've had that actually fit in a while! Stitching was good enough to hold it together, and I expect it will hold for quite some time. They're very lightweight, and very comfortable. Easy to put on, and work as described with touchscreens - although you lose your mobility, so that feature is limited.

These Dickies touchscreen compatible work gloves are fantastic and extremely well designed. I've used and worn a variety of work gloves primarily for automotive, landscaping, and various jobs around the house using brands like Mechanix and other gloves I purchased from Costco. These gloves are top notch for automotive work as they allow me to reference my phone for pulling up torque specs or instructions as I'm completing maintenance work or installing aftermarket parts. I love how the palm of these gloves have extra leather patches and they have the most insane "relief cuts" to allow for proper dexterity while holding tools or getting a good grip. There are patches of suede on other areas of the glove where you would see a lot of wear from grabbing rope or other abrasive handles. the knuckles are also reinforced with the same suede material but also an elastic material to help with dexterity and maneuverability. On the middle, ring finger, and pinkie fingers, there is a slick "anti abrasive" coating on the back (where your nails are) and a strong leather on the finger tips. The velcro strap around the wrist is beefy and super comfortable because there is a wide neoprene patch hugging your wrists. Lastly, the fit is PERFECT. I have smaller hands so wasn't sure if a small or medium would fit me best but I went with the small and it's perfect without feeling too small or tight. I'm super impressed with these gloves and hope they last a long time due to how well-thought out the design and materials are.
