Monica s They are completely neoprene with armortex stitched only to the front portion.

KEN B L W, The ArmorTex feels like a Kevlar type material. When I purchased these gloves, some descriptions I saw said "ArmorTex Kevlar." I purchased these gloves for lobstering in the Florida Keys. I have only used them on a couple lobster dives so far, but those dives have included a good amount of grabbing ledges, holes, and rocks while working lobsters. I have noticed some of the AmorTex material has scraped off on a couple of the fingertips, but it does not look like the material is in danger of tearing. With several other warm water gloves with the Amara palm material that I have owned in the past, I have put holes in the fingertips after just one or two dives. These gloves seem a bit more durable. My only problem with these gloves so far is that some of the seam stitching on both gloves split on my first dive. I was able to repair (sew) the gloves and they seem fine now. I may have to make additional seam repairs in the future, but I think the ArmorTex will hold up okay for bug hunting. If you typically dive with an inexpensive warm water glove with the Amara type palm material, I think you may find these gloves more durable than the Amara gloves for handling rocks. Hopefully this information is helpful to you, and if you do decide to purchase these gloves, I hope you are satisfied with them. Regards, Ken

DAWN B Yes, they would be good for handling rough rocks. I use them for lionfish hunting but they seem to have a lot of kevlar like material on the palms

GREGORY K Yes, it is very durable and would be well suited to the handling of rough rocks underwater.

ROBERT H They are really good gloves for the money. No problems with Spiny Lobsters or spear fishing. I am really rough on gloves lobstering and spear fishing and I have been well pleased. The seams are coming loose in a couple of places but that is after around a hundred rough spear fishing dives. The texture on the gloves is like what is marketed as kevlar gloves. They are a little stiff at first but break in very good.

MATTHEW H No it's not like Kevlar. The palm and finger area is covered with a tough rubber material. I use them for spear fishing and they work great for grabbing lobster or handling spiny fish.
