I bought a pair of the HexArmor Hercules gloves for snake handling down in the jungles of Panama. They stood up to multiple strikes from 3 different kinds of snakes, including the poisonous Fe-de-lance. The only thing I noticed after my trip was that a couple of the small rubber dots covering the palm and thumb area came off from normal use. These dots add a resistent-friction angle to prevent a direct strike.
