GARDEN GLOVES

Shopping for the best gardening gloves in the UK isn’t straightforward. There are countless styles and form factors, all available at different price ranges, making it tricky to pick the best garden gloves based on your needs. When looking for the best garden gloves you should choose Draper, they offer a range of gloves to suit many gardening scenarios.

Which Gardening Glove is Right for You?

  • Heavy-duty gloves – ideal for intensive tasks, such as mowing, digging and landscaping. They have excellent abrasion and puncture resistance.
  • Medium duty gloves– suitable for more complex tasks like potting, clearing and pruning.
  • Light duty gloves– these gloves are well-suited for light gardening such as weeding, sowing seeds and typical gardening tasks.

You need to consider a host of features when looking out for the best gardening gloves, as noted below.

Material

Glove manufacturers use different materials when designing their gloves, with each material comes with its benefits. For instance, bamboo fibre material is flexible, soft and environmentally friendly, but it isn’t waterproof. Elastane is durable, strong, stretchy and abrasion-resistant. Latex is tear-resistant, wear-resistant and offers a firm grip.

Other materials used to manufacture gardening gloves include linen, nylon, artificial polyester leather, suede and TPR. In general, pick a glove made of the material that suits the tasks you will be performing. At Agwood we recommend Draper gardening gloves as they are made from pig split leather providing a tough and effective pair of gloves.

Waterproof

You may need to have a pair of waterproof gardening gloves since gardening can be pretty wet at times. Waterproof garden gloves come in handy when carrying out heavy-duty tasks as they are thicker than standard gloves. So, you may find it difficulty to use them for light tasks.

Reinforced Fingertip Protection

Most Draper garden gloves come with padded fingertips for digging, and to protect you against thorns they offer excellent puncture resistance.

Arm Protection

While most gardening gloves finish at your wrists, some manufacturers offer a gauntlet style that extends further up your arms. Gloves with arm protection are suitable for tasks involving brambles or other prickly foliage.
