The Makita Palm Performance Gloves in Extra Large are designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts tackling demanding tasks in construction, woodworking, carpentry, and general-purpose work. Their key benefit is providing durable, water-resistant, and breathable protection with no break-in time, thanks to 100% genuine leather and Durahide Leather technology. A potential caveat is that while durable, they are a performance-focused glove and may not offer the same level of dexterity as thinner options for very fine tasks. Key features include genuine leather construction, advanced Durahide technology on critical areas, padded knuckles, high abrasion resistance, and a secure hook-and-loop closure.

The Durahide Leather technology makes the palm and critical areas water-resistant, meaning they can handle splashes and light moisture effectively. However, they are not designed for full submersion and are not considered waterproof.
This rating indicates performance levels. 3 (Abrasion), 1 (Blade Cut Resistance), 1 (Tear Resistance), 2 (Puncture Resistance), X (Protection against cuts by blades - not tested or performance was insufficient to rate).
Measure the circumference of your palm (excluding the thumb) and compare it to the sizing chart provided by Makita. The hook-and-loop closure allows for some adjustment, but a proper initial fit is essential for comfort and performance.
While they offer good abrasion and impact protection for general construction, for extremely heavy-duty demolition that involves significant risk of crushing or severe impact, specialized heavy-duty gloves might be more appropriate. These are excellent for general purpose and protection in most trade applications.
Conditioning frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. If you frequently expose the gloves to moisture or work in dry conditions, conditioning every few months is advisable. If used less frequently or in moderate conditions, check the leather's suppleness periodically and condition as needed.
No, these gloves are not machine washable. Washing machines can damage the leather and the structural integrity of the glove. Cleaning should be done by hand with a damp cloth.
Adjust the TRP hook-and-loop closure for a custom fit. If the size is fundamentally incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.
While Durahide offers water resistance, prolonged exposure can affect grip. Dry the gloves thoroughly before use. The genuine leather may also become slightly slippery when wet.
This can occur with heavy use. Lightly brush the inside with a soft brush or turn them inside out and shake vigorously to remove debris.
Ensure gloves are air-dried away from heat. If they become stiff, a light application of leather conditioner can help restore flexibility.
Setup: These gloves require no setup. Simply put them on your hands. Adjust the hook-and-loop closure for a secure, comfortable fit.
Compatibility: Compatible with virtually any hand-based work where protection from abrasion, moisture, and minor impacts is needed. Suitable for use with power tools, hand tools, and manual material handling.
