Of all the essential equipment that a gardener should have, there\u2019s few things higher up the list than a reliable set of\u00a0 gardening gloves. Indeed, a well-chosen pair of gardening gloves will last you over many years, becoming increasingly comfortable. So which should you buy?<\/span><\/p>\n

For lighter duties like potting and planting, you can get away with lightweight gardening gloves made of polyester or cotton. Lighter gloves also give you more dexterity. But for tougher jobs like shifting rubble or clearing brambles, you\u2019ll want a tougher pair. These are most likely to be made of leather.<\/span><\/p>\n

And if you regularly prune, you\u2019re best off erring on the side of caution and picking up a heavy-duty pair of gardening gloves that are thornproof. If you spend a lot of time with a wheelbarrow or other garden tools, a pair with extra grip is a wise idea. And if you\u2019re working in short sleeves, gardening gloves with extra-long \u2018gauntlet\u2019-style cuffs that will come in handy. Oh, and you may even want a pair that look nice too.<\/span><\/p>\n

Other features to look out for include breathable backs, elasticated cuffs that will keep the elements out, and leather palms. We\u2019ve picked out a range of our favourites, from heavy-duty options to long gardening gloves.
