They are sweet. Mind ewe I am a luddite and use some old military
leather shell gloves. They have the knuckles done so they allow lots
of flexibility, palm is two or three layers and it's all 2-2.5mm tough
cowhide that when treated with the right oils* is extremly flexable
and water resistant. ;^)
*I prefer obenauf's.
