“functional for light uses, but cheap”

“The deerskin is soft and supple, which makes the glove comfortable and the fingers nimble enough to manipulate small objects with relative ease. However, don't buy these if you plan to do any heavy work. After very much shoveling, chopping wood, or the like, the thin leather in the palm will wear out. This glove is best meant for light gardening. While the deerskin portion of the glove seems to be of reasonable quality, even if the leather is a little thin, the upper protective cuff feels very cheap. The cuff is studier than the glove, but it feels almost synthetic. Perhaps it is composite leather fiber glued together, or perhaps the layers of paint to color the leather gray were applied so heavily that the grain of the leather was lost, but the cuff just feels tacky.”
