Picking The Best Garden Gloves

By Edmund Handel


One of your best friends in the field during gardening is defiantly a pair of good garden gloves. They are created to protect your hands from thorns, rough work, and blisters. They can make the work a garden a whole lot easier for you and little less messy.

Finding a nice pair can strengthen your grip when you are working and can prevent blisters from forming on your hands. They are great tools but you have to find the right pair for whatever job you are doing during your gardening work. You should always look for a nice pair that have a good quality in leather.

They will be general gardening gloves that will have a cloth on the back of them. The purpose of this is to keep your hands comfortable and cool. If you have a garden that is either wet or muddy you can select a pair of rubber gloves that have a cloth lining on them.

If your gardening requires you to spray pesticides then you will need to get neoprene gloves. The residue from many pesticides can penetrate other kinds like plastic and latex. If you have an abundant of roses in your garden you can choose some that have the long wrist protectors to shield you when you are pruning.

When you find yourself working in very cold weather you can use the fingerless kind for doing more detailed work. An example of this could be transplanting your seedlings over different sections in your garden. Another thing to take into consideration is choosing a pair of gloves that actually fit you hand.

Wearing a pair that are to large can increase the risk of them sliding off and making your work more complicated. If you are in your garden and they happen to get very dirty and muddy you don no have to take them off. If this happens you can simply wash your hands while they are still on.
