Are these thick enough to protect me if a rattle snake strikes ?

I do not think these are snake bite proof. I have bought several pairs of these and they are thin. They are think enough to use for smoking BBQ and handling hot meat but do not feel as thick and heavy weight as my snake boots. Hope this helps

I wouldn't think so. They're pretty tough, but something sharp could puncture them. Seeing as how fangs are meant to go through skin and hide, I wouldn't trust them.

Sure these will protect you I've used them and these gloves protect your hands like nothing else. This material is really tough!!

I personally, would not wear these for snake handling. These are thick, but I don't think they will protect you from a sharp fang. Maybe the reptile department of a zoo can make a recommendation for you.

Nah doubt it. Not sure what exactly would make any gloves rattle snake proof. These are like canvas gloves with a thin rubber like coating. Probably 1/16 thick material overall. Minimal puncture resistance.

ABSOLUTELY NOT. You need a very specific pair of gloves, Hercules R8E Needlestick Resistant Glove, Size: XL. They're available here: http://www.pcgsafety.com/Products/HexArmor/3180-XL/16597/HEX3180-XL DO NOT tell them you want them to handle venomous snakes. If you do, they won't sell them to you. Tell them you need NEEDLE STICK PROTECTION solidly up to your elbows. Do not purchase any other HexArmor gloves for this purpose, those will NOT provide the protection you need. A hospital bill for a rattlesnake bite can easily run $150,000-

Fabric seems thick enough to provide protection, I guess it would depend on how large the mosquito. Used repellant on the material before use that will keep them away.

yes I believe they are more then thick enough that the crab could not hurt you.

Absolutely, These are pretty thick, stiff and yet soft enough, I drop the barbells on them and they bounce just a bit and they weigh about 75pounds so they stay put.

Depends on the snake...Cordura can do lots of great things, but snake protection will require something further.

No these are not snake proof. I have another pair for that: http://www.amazon.com/Orvis-Snake-proof-Gaiters/dp/B004E8HQC4/ref=pd_sim_sbs_a_9

Yes, some are heavier- all work great. I found a snake in the living room, (a water moccasin), and shot off it's head with one shot.

Compared with 1/4" galvanized mesh garden cloth, I would question that this product is as resistant to tearing and in standing up to sun/weather exposure. If personal safety is a concern, consider going with the strongest gauge you can purchase and, perhaps, doing so in an 1/8" mesh (I would think baby snakes could get through 1/4"...).

They are a bit thin. I recommend something thicker for things over 400 degrees. I suppose you could double up, but that could be very dangerous if they slip.

Not very thick at all but if you check out YouTube you will find video showing them withstanding some rather harsh abuse.

No, not at all. If anything, some people might consider them too thick. I like mine very, very much.

These are about as thick as a piece of cardboard that is on the back of a scratch pad. Actually, I just tried to measure one, and it doesn't even come up high enough on the ruler to show how thick it is. So, it is even thinner than that type of cardboard.If you have under 1/8th inch, I am pretty certain you will be fine.

I'd say no, as they are only about 1/8" thick at the fat end. You would be better off getting something at the Home Depot type store. Sorry!

Yes it should be plenty thick enough. The cover is great quality and spills wipe right off. I like them because they are neoprene like material. I hope this helps.

They are thin for that! They are very nice cotton gloves but they are not going to protect you from hear.

Possibly... I've only used them in the snow and hiking in northern MN, so we don't have much for snakes.
