    Why exactly do you doubt their effectiveness? And so what if your chest, face, etc are still exposed? Is that an argument against having an extra measure of protection for your fingers/hands/arms, the areas most likely to get bit?

    Haha, everyone in the venomous community (on here at least) loves to crap on things like this. Of course no one is suggesting that they throw all the rest of their knowledge out the window just because of these gloves. I've never used these ones, but I've used hex armor gloves out in the field before and they are indeed extremely effective. Try to take a hypodermic needle and push it through – you wont be able to.
