Clipglove comes out top in Good Housekeeping glove test!
 

After a fantastic first year of trading, Treadstone’s ClipGlove range has also proved to be a hit with the team at Good Housekeeping magazine.  In their recent test, ClipGlove came top in 4 out of the 6 categories tested, including Best All-Rounder Gardening Gloves.

 

Commenting on the results, Treadstone’s Head of Brands Dean Winters said “We’re so pleased with the reviews from Good Housekeeping which support what our customers and consumers have been telling us since we launched ClipGlove.  Our innovative range of gloves not only feature class leading levels of comfort, dexterity and protection, but they’re also stylish to wear.”

 

41 different garden gloves were tested by the Good Housekeeping team, with ClipGlove winning in the following 4 categories:

Best All-Rounder Gardening Gloves: ClipGlove Cosy
Best Light Duty Gardening Gloves:
 ClipGlove Bamboo Fibre
Best Medium Duty Gloves: ClipGlove Watertight
Best Waterproof Gloves: ClipGlove Watertight

This latest accolade comes after Treadstone won 2 GIMA awards in 2019 for best product in category and best display. ClipGlove gets its name from the addition of an aluminum Carabiner clip, which keeps glove pairs together when being stored away so that they do not get lost. Retailers appreciate the clip and how it prevents torn header cards and allows consumers to try on both gloves easily in store plus of course how it enables the gloves to be clipped to the user’s belt, ensuring they are always to hand.
