They are a version of my 'Hill' summer ones but with the longer wrist. Crashed in them and they came out fine. As they have leather over the hard knuckles, just a tiny scuff mark is present now.
Had the 'State' ones first, and they were great, until someone forgot to take them off the window ledge and they fell in the drain and got mucky washing up water on...euuuuugghh!! Even burnt them on my exhaust and they stayed water proof (after a little stitching to hide the burn)
Can't beat Halvarssons gloves for comfort and durability.
