RAPICCA Animal Handling Gloves Bite Proof Double Leather Reinforced Padding Dog,Cat Scratch,Bird Handling Falconry Gloves Grabbing Reptile Squirrel Snake Bite 16in Grey-Black

I originally bought a pair in 2019 and am buying a second pair now in 2025, due to my husband unfortunately losing the first pair (Its probably around here somewhere).We absolutely love these gloves for yard work. We live in an area in the PNW that has a green belt behind our house that isnt maintained, so we get all of the weeds invading our yard. Especially sticker bushes or blackberry bushes with thick vines, some thicker than a quarter. These gloves are excellent at protecting our hands from getting those nasty thorns in our hands when we're physically yanking these blackberry bushes and other thorny bushes out of the ground. I have large hands for a female and these gloves are a little big on me, but not unusable. I usually wear a mens Large in gloves. I can grip things well with these gloves and they are flexible in the hands enough to get the job done. We have yet to have any punctures from those thick thorns or thorny bushes, hence me ordering a 2nd pair 6 years later. I need them for some yard work right now and my pair from 6 years ago is MIA. They work great and I'd recommend these to anyone who is using them for yard work, totally worth the money and they last - good quality gloves.

I got these to help protect my hands and arms or anyone else’s when dealing with animal traps.Little did I know I needed these for a mice issue I discovered.Using electric mouse traps I can’t just throw the mouse and trap away.Helps me be braver and feel safer having these on my hands going around those things.I have not tested these out with other animals just to move animal traps and mouse traps.I did see some comments of people getting bit through them, I hope I do not have to test that part out.I normally wear a size medium to large glove depending on glove style and make I have some safe room in the gloves and they stay on my hands and arms when using.I have bigger hands for a girl so my hands are bigger then some guys hands and other guys have bigger hands than me.Hope that helps for sizing!

No pun intended but these fit like a glove, very comfortable and easy to work with while wearing them. Took two bites from a coyote and these performed flawlessly, no punctures, barely felt a thing. I would feel very confident recommending these.

Used effectively while handling raptors, such as a Great Horned Owl; 4 stars only because leather smell is strong

I bought these 16” animal handling gloves to use in my home dog boarding / daycare business. Thankfully I haven’t had to use them yet, but I like having them ‘just in case’. I think luck favors the prepared. I ordered a few different animal handling gloves and settled on these. I like the thickness of the leather and the placement of the extra layers of leather. For a female 5’5” and 125 lbs, these fit quite big. However they are comfortable and stay on. I feel protected in them. Some other ones I ordered that were smaller for my hands didn’t have as thick of leather or the extra layers of leather at as many places or good places. I would never be able to do fine work with my fingers in these as they are bulky. However I would be able to grab or pick up a small dog or guarded object with them. I think they would protect from a bite from a small dog, medium dog, and warning nips from a large dog. However the bite force of a medium or large dog that means business would still crush your hands, just maybe not be able to rip you open due to the thick leather. I would guarantee that they would hold up to small animals like cats, hamsters, squirrels, birds, etc. Hopefully I NEVER need to test a snake bite on them!!! They appear well made with the stitching with thick but slightly flexible leather. The value is good as I believe they will last many many years used for various tasks like animal handling, grilling, and forging … probably my son will eventually steal them to forge with once he discovers them.

These gloves are great. They made a very stressful situation easy to manage. My cat can be aggressive and these gloves saved my hands and arms many times. They are soft but durable. Fit comfortably and flexible. They do not have an odor and they will beep your hands safe and warm. Loose but snuggly fit.

They work perfectly love them! Fast shipping as well
