I work in a warehouse and I’m always lifting wooden skids and boxes. These are perfect for that. Also they don’t degrade quickly either. They are super comfortable as well. I like that my hands can actually breathe and I don’t sweat underneath. I use a large because I like them to be tight. I could also use my smart phone with them on which is a huge plus to me. If you work in manufacturing or production, I think you should check these out. I bought a 12 pack on Amazon for under $50.
