RAPICCA Animal Handling Gloves Bite Proof Reinforced Leather Padding Dog,Cat Scratch,Bird Handling Falconry Gloves Grabbing,Reptile Squirrel Snake Bite 22in 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.

Hi, I'm known in my area as the fur baby spoiler. I have one client who has a parrot that her mama calls "EVIL". After my first sitting job with her I had nips on every finger and up my arms. I wasn't happy! I got these and went to go do my job with this parrot. She nips at my fingers and arms the whole time I'm holding her, and I don't feel a thing. She's happy I'm not waving her off and I'm happy I'm not getting a bloodletting while doing my job. Now if they only made these for my ears. This bird is evil. I got the longer pair and they come to the bottom of my t-shirt sleeves, and I have pretty long arms. They are roomy for me. For a smaller person (Under 5' 8") I can see them being way to big. They are soft inside which is nice, I was worried about the seams irritating my skin. I can't speak to the durability of these as mine won't get regular daily use, however they are of good quality, and I can see them holding up for a while. I have clients with reptiles and rodents which these will also come in handy for as I am not fond of handling them, but I don't turn down a client. You do not have a lot of dexterity with them. A bigger person might, as they would be tighter. I'm happy with my gloves, my parrot nemesis is happy I'm not screaming at her, and my arms remained scar free from my last job. Good product in my opinion.

These gloves are very thick and definitely helped prevent a much more serious injury. I have an aggressive dachshund and he attacked my hands and arm today. The gloves did their job and likely saved me from a hospital visit. He was able to slightly break the skin on my arm through the glove, but nothing compared to previous bites without them. I would recommend these for anyone dealing with aggressive dogs, but just know that no glove is completely bite proof against a determined dog. Overall I’m very glad I purchased them and feel much safer handling my dog with these on.

I use these for my cat, he likes to scratch and bite. These are really good for his claws but his teeth can almost get through and I can feel my skin getting pinched. Over all they are good and I use them. Other ones I have gotten seem like they fall apart but these so far have been holding up.

Most of the dog training things are sopainful to wear that protection seems a moot point. These are so soft inside, you could sleep in them. In my case, that may not be a bad idea with 2 mouthy puppies of varying age and size. One is Anatolian mix, about 1 year and the other is GSD mix 9 weeks, 15 pounds. Both have teeth that are painful on the arms and legs. The professional Shutzhunde gloves were very good protection but the neck strap could not be adjusted to be long enough to allow them to hang around the neck and still get arms inside. They are reassuringly heavy but you need the strap so they were returned. The one armed device is better but the dogs just avoid it and go for other areas of the body not protected. These are the most hopeful find in addition to the Tippmann paintball gloves even though they don't have fingers. Tried other items but these gloves seem thick enough to withstand puppy chewing even from the Anatolian as he's not really trying to hurt anyone. For serious dog training, the Shutzhunde arms would be great but need addition to the neck strap length. So if you're training a service dog and not an attack dog, these should work just fine and they are large enough for my husband (size 16) who's 6'4" tall and though they're too long in the finger for me, you can really sleep in them should be chewed in the middle of the night on a puppy whim; So soft on the inside - no kidding. I hope they withstand the incessant chewing for the next 12 months. Will update review if not. They were just so wonderful on the owner's side and sturdy on the dog side that I had to write an instant review.

I ordered these because I rescue animals and sometimes they bite. Gloves work great, good quality and comfortable too.

I bought these gloves after my German Shepherd's puppy teeth sliced through one of my fingers during play. Since purchasing these gloves, they have saved my fingers several times. I can feel the pressure from the bites, but there isn't any pain or cuts. Since he is a working dog, these gloves will continue to be used as he gets older. Happy with the purchase.

These gloves are decent quality for the price but calling these 'Bite Proof' might cost someone some serious injuries. These are Bite Resistant gloves at best. I had originally gotten these as I was helping to train and rehabilitate a rather large Great Dane that had been underfeed and was reactive around food. The Dane had bite me once already over a treat I was giving to another dog and tore open my finger. However this Dane basically nipped me as there was no other damage like crushing or such done which if the dog wanted to he could of taken off my finger... (Most of the damage was a combination of him nipping and me pulling my hand back and catching on his teeth.) So anyways I decided I wasn't going to risk that again and bought these gloves. Luckily for the most part the Dane rapidly settled and before the gloves arrived they were basically no longer needed. However that doesn't mean I haven't used them at all or don't have thoughts on them... So first their construction. I had gotten the longer version of the gloves that are supposed to come up your forearms. The hand (Top and Bottom) and just bottom finger sections of the glove have reinforcements (Black areas) that add a little extra padding and thickness however the rest of the glove is actually fairly thin. The glove in areas without the extra padding is only about as thick as some leather work gloves with an insulating liner. Which isn't much... If believing their claim of kevlar lining it should be much stronger though in terms of puncture resistance but the fact of the matter is that they offer almost no protection against having your fingers or hand crushed if you are bit by a big dog. I have every bit of confidence if I was wearing those gloves when I was nipped before my hand would of been fine, and my finger wouldn't of been tore open but that's only because it would of stopped his teeth from being able to peirce my skin. I also have every bit of confidence in saying that if I was wearing these gloves and I was actually bit by him with full power my fingers would of been crushed. Likely to the point of severe damage. And if I was bit even with these on and he decided to try he probably still could take off a finger. Again these are RESISTANT to bites. And you are better having them on then not. But relying on these for full protection is asking for trouble. (Actual bite proof gloves usually have plastic or Aluminium plates in them. Or a chainmail weave. Not some extra bits of thin leather or such...) I mean this protection is so thin I can pinch (Mimicking a bite direction) my gloved finger using my other fingers the point of pain... That ain't enough to protect you... What is also disappointing is with the versions that comes up to your forearms is there is only padding actually in the hand areas. Past your wrist it immediately goes to being a single layer thick. If you get bit in those areas you are relying solely on it helping to stop the teeth from sinking in. It ain't going to do basically anything to reduce the force. In fairness because you have more tissue (Muscle, fat, skin) there than over your hands that does help spread out the force more passively. But is still dissponting. I did get to test these a bit with him though eventually as I used them when I had to try and get him into a kennel while misbehaving and another trying to get stuff out of his mouth he shouldn't of been eating. Good news for that is I didn't feel a thing. However I also believe at that point he wasn't even nipping very hard. These were more excitability nips vs before where he was being agressive/defensive. So though I didn't feel anything it wasn't a super hardcore test. I do feel confident though in that experience this would work very well and probably offer great protection (Likely to the level of being 'Bite Proof') for smaller animals like Terriers or Yorkies and such. Good protection for some Med breeds like Sheepdogs, or smaller Pitbulls. But when it comes to Large breeds like German Shephards, and Rottweilers. Or XL breeds like Mastiffs or Great Danes or such... I do NOT recommend trusting this to save your hands... It probably would also offer really good if not full protection for Rodents, Marsupials, Birds, Reptiles and such unless they are extremely large. And overall for the price you pay these also make really good work gloves. My only concern is possible longevity which I haven't been able to test yet. Mainly with areas like the finger and back of the hand padding and the fold at the glove cuff that seem like they should of been double stitched and not single stitched. But time will tell. Hopefully this all is useful information.

Bought for gardening and tackling thorny roses. Great. Hands and arms are protected

Sitter Bra, ej behövt testa hur mycket bett dom står emot
