The good
These gloves scored full marks in all our tests for everyday gardening tasks. Whether clearing damp leaves, digging or pruning, they offered a secure grip and were very flexible. Soft and comfortable, they also kept moisture at bay. Even when wet, these gloves remained secure and stayed flexible once dry. They moulded well to the hands, felt well fastened and didn't limit finger movement.
Take note
These gloves are ideal for everyday gardening but won’t protect against hardier plants, such as thorns or holly. In both tests, thorns pierced the gloves. When handling holly the palm was protected, yet the back of the hand was not.
GHI Expert Verdict
These gardening gloves are breathable and sweat absorbing. Their bamboo lining insulates well, so efficiently combats cold weather. With a firm grip and carabiner grip for safe storage, they're also extremely comfortable.
