Carhartt makes work gear that is made from eternium, and these gloves are no exception.  Extremely flexible and comfortable, they are a real answer to working outdoors when you really don't want to.  I am very pleased with the results of this purchase.  One thing to note, however:  they appear to be cut on the smallish side, as I had to exchange them for a larger size than I normally purchase from other vendors.  A word to the wary: order one size larger than the sizing chart calls for, or you might find them a little too tight.  Otherwise, these are one terrific pair of gloves.
