BSV Kevlar Cut, Scratch, Bite and Heat Resistant Arm Protection Sleeves with Finger Opening - Unisex -18 Inches, 1 Pair

These sleeves are rated a level 4 cut resistance yet outperformed another level 5 pair that I have. Definitely worth the extra money, they are my favorite pair, and pick up where my welding gloves leave off. These sleeves plus gloves and you’re combat ready!

Used for fire spinning. Works great for flame resistant, fits well. Weight is light, great value for money, resistant to slipping. Sleeve cool enough to use for fire

I play with an outdoor cat who frequents our backyard. He has pretty sharp claws and strong teeth. His way of showing love, like many cats, is to scratch and bite you. I got these sleeves to see if I could actually have a good play session with him without coming home with scratches/cuts on my arms each time he decides to get buddy buddy with me.Received these today and just had a test run.Pro: I was actually able to play with the cat for much longer and more 'aggressive' than usual and we both enjoyed it.Con: While these sleeves were fairly strong and resisted many of his bites and scratch, he did still get through here and there; so I still came home with a couple of cuts and a few scratches on my arms (not to mention he of course got me on the exposed part of my hand, but that's not the sleeves' fault). I would guesstimate that his teeth and claws got through maybe about 25-30% of the time and the remaining times the sleeves did not let them through.So, while wearing these was certainly better than zero protection, I will continue to search for something stronger. As I mentioned, I did get a lot more playtime and enjoyment with the cat compared to usual when I'm just counting on my full sleeve shirt to provide some protection from his 'attacks.'I want to avoid wearing actual animal handling gloves as those are very thick, cover the entire hand and arm up to elbow, and would just take away from the fun of playing with the cat. So I will continue to search for something like this but stronger. Maybe wearing two layers might be better.Overall, based on my limited experience with this product thus far, I would say that maybe if you have a cat (or other animal) who does not have as sharp claws & teeth as the cat I'm playing with, then these should likely provide more protection than they did for me. But if you have a mini-tiger for a cat who spends a lot of time in the wild and keeps his claws and teeth sharp, then these sleeves will be a mixed bag as far as how often they protect vs. not.

They have made me feel so much safer at work. Cats teeth can't break through. If used for dog grooming, which I tried, you will still get a bruise or it will hurt if the dog bites hard enough but it will not break the skin. They're light weight and give you the use of your fingers so you can still scruff the cat and be able to use your hands.

Stood up against the leatherman charge S30V blade steel. Im impressed with that

I bought these to bathe my cat. They fit fine, and I have fat arms. I played with my Siamese cat, who loves to remove skin from the hands and arms until I bleed. Kevlar will stop a bullet but not a knife. Knives go right through. I was hoping my cat's claws wouldn't, but I was wrong. They are like sharp little knives and went right through the kevlar like it wasn't there. If you are are wanting these to help with cats, forget it. I am sure they will be okay with other things, but not cats.

Our pup likes to play rough. We use gauntlets for welding but sometime that's not enough. These go up the arm to the biceps and provide excellent scratch and accidental teeth scratches. Would highly recommend for people with thin skin and rough puppies. These are high quality and comfortable.Excellent customer service representatives that actually answer the phone.

For the price, they work well. I dropped a nail, screws and a box cutter from waist height and it did it's job. Nite: The force of the blunt object did hurt though :(
