Gardening Gloves Recommendation

Hello all

I Hope you are Well.

I am looking for a new pair of Gardening Gloves.

I am currently using a Pair of 'Showa Gloves SHOB370-L' which have served me well, except that the Fabric Sections have worn through.

Can anyone recommend some Gardening Gloves?

One requirement is that they Must be Close Fitting as I really do not like Loose Fitting Gloves.

Thanks in advance

Kevin

 

I always use 'Showa' gloves @Kevin Cowans as I find them the closest fitting ones but I do have to replace them every six months on average. They get some hard wear from me!

I like their thermal ones for winter wear but they aren't quite as close fitting as the normal ones.

 

Hello @lizzie27

Thanks for the Reply.

I may just get another Pair as I do like the Fit, it is just the Wear on the Fabric Sections that is the problem.

Thanks

Kevin

 

It depends what size your hands have.
I use M&S leather gloves for years. They last 2 years in average. I do most of the gardening in Autumn, Winter and Spring and my gloves are thick enough to do the hard work and thin enough to have a proper grip.
I believe the men’s gloves are too thick for gardening but maybe there are thinner leather gloves somewhere.

 

I have some from TkMaxx serving well when pruning etc. But not good for working with soil as getting wet. For that occasion Lidl's working gloves are super, they come in different sizes, even smaller ones as I needed.

I just use cheap safety gloves, usually buy 10 pairs at a time, they are not thorn proof but you can do fairly fiddly jobs while wearing them, just about keep the palms of your hands dry and have a rubbery grip. I've got some thick leather ones I use rarely if dealing with brambles.

 

whatever you get, if its fabric or leather or similar, washing and storing it properly matters to its longevity! especially for thick plastic fabrics.

 

Those big gardening gloves that looks like the ones that normally wicker keepers wear, are really not good for gardening.

 

Another vote for Showa here.
Dry touch leather for heavy pruning are good too.

 

Hello all

Thanks for the Replies.

Apologies for not Replying sooner, I had Full Fibre 900 Installed recently and have been having some Teething Problems.

Technology is Fun

I will do some research on all of the suggestions.

Thanks for taking the Time to Reply.
