The gloves have held up for much longer than the Impact Pro, Fast-Fit utility or the "newer" Commercial Grade Impact Pro. I know that these are cold weather gloves and the others aren't but I'm only referring to the outer palm material. The rest of the glove is well constructed with double stitching along the index finger, fingertips and palm reinforcement pad. They also do a decent job of keeping *dry hands warm,(*not many gloves will keep sweaty hands warm). I wore them on several occasions to blow & shovel snow and they kept my hands comfortable. There are warmer work gloves available but they typically sacrifice dexterity for warmth while these balance the two functions well. They're pretty resistant to moisture, but don't expect that result in a rainstorm. I also have the Wind Resistant Cold Weather Mechanix glove (great glove) for dry, outdoor cold weather conditions. Unlike some of the other Mechanix gloves I've owned, these were worth the money.
