I bought a pair to handle fish since they grip so well. My husband then gloomed onto them. I rarely remember to wear gloves except for the heavy dirt work. I get really tired of dry hands from washing them each time I have to make a trip to the house, scrubbing with a brush and lots of soap. Also helps lifting heavy rocks -- good gripes.

But they are also great for processing fish, holding onto the slimy little buggers. And your hands stay a touch warmer.
