How to find the perfect pair of gardening gloves

Wearing garden gloves while you’re caring for the garden is an important way to protect your hands from cuts, pricks, splinters and blisters. If you do like to wear gloves as you garden, it’s important to choose the right kind of gardening glove.

Choosing gloves for gardening

Gardeners wear gloves for lots of different reasons, such as keeping their hands clean, avoiding blisters, prevent cuts, protecting existing scrapes, protecting against insect bites, protecting the skin against chemicals like herbicides and pesticides, and protection from fungal infections carried by some plants.

Most people know they should keep wounds clean to reduce the risk of infection, but lots of people don’t realise that they can get fungal infections from certain plants and soils. Some of these infections can cause nasty lesions on the skin. Wear gloves to prevent this.

When choosing garden gloves, you need a good fit. The gloves should fit your hands snugly so they don’t slip off, but shouldn’t be so tight that they restrict your ability to do the garden tasks that you need.

You should also choose the right glove for the task you need to do. Cloth gloves are the most common and usually the least expensive gardening gloves. These gloves are usually made of knit jersey or cotton and have the advantage of being machine washable. These gloves are mostly designed to keep your hands clean and don’t offer much protection. However, they are cool and breathable.

Leather gloves are more expensive but are generally waterproof and will do a better job at protecting the hands from cuts and scrapes. Gloves for caring for roses are usually made from leather.

Rubber coated gloves are the best gloves for keeping your hands protected if you’re using chemicals in the garden, like fungicides, pesticides, or herbicides. These gloves can get hot and sweaty to wear, however, and should be avoided by those with an allergy to latex.

Neoprene gloves are made from synthetic rubber, so will protect the hands from both chemicals and cuts. As they’re synthetic, they are also made to be breathable and flexible, so they are cooler and comfortable to wear. Bigger thorns may still be able to get through.
