Effective gloves
These gloves are effective in protecting the wrists and forearm. The gloves themselves are not really thorn "proof" as they say, but are effective against most. They are comfortable, though, and to be more thornproof than this they would have to be unacceptably stiff. The cuffs are around 8 or so inches long up the sleeve. I'd have been happier with even longer, but this not bad at all. All in all a very good choice, and very nice looking.

Good compromise
As everything in life, rose gloves are a matter of compromise, between practicality, durability and price. If these gloves were heavy duty for utmost protection, they would have been heavy, non-flexible and a nightmare to use in summertime. Make them too light and airy, and there is no protection from vicious thorns. Use new high tech materials like carbon fibers or kevlar, and they would cost in the hundreds.As designed, these gloves provide a reasonable compromise with the bonus of being machine washable.
