PRATT & HART Guardia Men’s Leather Police Gloves for Law Enforcement Officers, Shooting, and Driving (Black) Sheepskin

I used a similar style glove in a previous job, this style usually need to be snug, thin, unlined, comfortable with as minimal possible loss of touch or feel through the glove and these fit the bill. I currently use them for just cool or cold weather to wear while driving or outside in general. The gloves are not lined so I wouldn’t say they are shoveling gloves but they are thin, durable and still keep the hands warm while living in a cold weather environment. A lot of times this style of glove fits snugly as intended but have too much length in the fingers so the fit and feel strange, but this brand seem to be sized correctly in the finger length as well, so they are worth the price.

Great fit, great feel. They do fit tight, especially at the wrists. Once they are on, they feel almost like you own skin. The sheep skin, greatly contributes to this. I went up a size from what the size chart said and the fit was right on.

I got these in a 7.5/Small, which turned out to be too big for me. However, I am not experienced measuring myself for gloves, and am between 7" and 7.5" around the knuckles, so the fact that I need to size down is, in my mind, in no way a reflection on the sizing itself. I would say they are true to size, and it was a 'me problem'! Other than the gloves are PHENOMINAL. They are thin enough to use a touch screen (maybe turn up your sensitivity is all), VERY well constructed, and fit incredibly well--which is saying something, as my wrists are small and I have very long, slim, marfanoid type hands and fingers. I got these to protect my skin while cashiering and they did work really well for the day that I tried them out, before realising they were a size too big. They do leave black on your nails but I don't really consider this a flaw, as its pretty typical of any dyed leather. They are very soft, and very warm! I did not expect them to be so warm, but I was out in 25F windy minnesota morning and my hands did not feel cold at all!! That's saying something, because I always have cold hands! I am planning on returning and exchanging these for the correct size, and am overall splendiferously happy to have found a brand that carries my size in gloves!

I’ve been buying these gloves for years and the quality in the fit were amazing. What did you do the design? They are not the same and I won’t be purchasing them again.

Incredibly small opening for XL and tight overall. It's a nice glove and the leather/workmanship seems high quality. I have big hands but XL is usually fine. It took me 20 seconds to put on each glove and about the same to take off each glove and it wasn't easy. It's a struggle with pulling an pushing all around the hand and wrist and snug when finally on. I think I pulled a muscle in my thumb and back trying to get them on. I would recommend 2 sizes up. The price is right. I may order another set 2 sizes up and will regift the current pair.

These gloves are awesome but very delicate, not for serious/hard work, which is unfortunate cause I love them. The stitching has held up fine but after 3 days of wearing them while stocking freight I have worn holes through multiple fingertips. They do work with a touch screen until the surface gets worn/scuffed. The fit is excellent and as described in my case. They kept my hands from getting cold while stocking refrigerated and frozen items, I could feel that I was handling something cold when dealing with frozen items but they kept me well insulated. I would totally get another pair as a winter glove or for driving, perhaps even shooting as well, they provide a good grip. Would love to find something exactly like them but just a bit thicker or tougher.

To illustrate the glove fit: I religiously use Mechanix Wear Tactical Original Covert gloves in size SM (US 8) for day to day chores requiring some finger dexterity to manipulate such things as semi-auto slides, 1911 magazine release buttons, M4/AR15 bolt release levers and charging handles and magazine loading activities.These Pratt and Hart unlined fit awesome for me in Size SM. They are snug and tight fitting and the leather is soft and supple. When I say snug, I mean like a latex exam glove, which is exactly what I was looking for. The leather is somewhat slick and slippery however, and not exactly tacky. I do a lot of driving with thin leather gloves and to be honest these Pratt & Hart's are not as tacky as I'd like for driving; fortunately I bought these for dress purposes only. Comparatively, I have a pair of Hatch Durathin un-lined search gloves in size MED and they are slightly too baggy for my tastes when donned. The Pratt & Hart unlined Bottom line is if you normally wear a small, these P&H unlined gloves in SM should fit you just fine, and very snugly.

Overall, the gloves are pretty good with good materials, look good and are sufficiently thin, They may be slightly undersized as the size medium were very tight and difficult to pull on. Right glove much worse than the left. The fit of the finger lengths was a mixed bag. The thumb and forefinger on both gloves fit perfectly, but the middle, ring and little fingers were about 1/2" too long on both gloves. A lot of pulling downward on those fingers got them to a closer fit but left some room at the end of the fingers. For a law enforcement officer using these gloves for body search, he had better be able to do it with one finger and one thumb (per glove). Perhaps the length of my fingers are an anatomical aberration, otherwise the gloves are just not cut right. Would not recommend unless the issues I have cited are unimportant to the prospective buyer.
