I LOVE these gloves! I can pull the thorny plants with no thorns coming thru on rubber side. I can pick up small items with no problem, even change. This is a very good product.

By sunsnoozer Sandy from North Haven, CT on 11/11/2008

In all the years I have been gardening this product is the best I have ever used. I'm ashamed to say how much money I wasted on bulky leather gloves too cumbersome for delicate yard work or cheap ones that fell apart. I can use them to pull the smallest weed or grab the thorniest branch. I will always use Nitrile gloves; I have three pairs and also purchased them for friends with my highest recommendation.

By Kiteflyer from Green Bay, WI on 11/11/2008

I ordered these gloves about a year ago and they are still going strong. I wear them for all around the yard jobs.

By Kathy, the gardener from Rock Valley, IA on 11/8/2008

They're simply awesome

By Lee Arnold from Ft. Wayne, IN. on 11/7/2008

These gloves came in just in time for shutting the garden down. I used them to pull up, cut down, pick up, and prune everything in cleaning my garden. I LOVE them!

By NG from MI on 11/6/2008

I wear these gloves for everything related to the garden or to my pond. I also use them in woodworking.

By Jacki from south of Indianola, Iowa on 11/6/2008

I love that they keep my fingernails clean because I really get grimy and do heavy duty digging and crumbling the dirt from the grass/weeds I dig up - with my hands

By Judith from Victor, NY on 11/6/2008

These are my favorite gardening gloves. A local store ran out of them quickly, so I was delighted to find them in your catalog - especially since I had a gift certificate.

By Barb from Rochester Hills, MI on 11/4/2008

I like these gloves better than any I've tried over the past 30 years or so, and just purchased 2 pair for my sister's birthday. They're always with me when I'm working in the yard.

By Ferne from Charlestown RI on 11/4/2008

I live in these gloves from March to December. They wash well and protect my hands from thorns to rough services like rocks or wood splinters.

By DonnaA2Z from Jacksonville, FL on 11/3/2008

They fit like a gardening glove needs to. They protect my hands and fingers from all sorts of things. They don't dry out and turn hard ... they are flexible, durable and really do the job well.

If they get wet, lay them in the sun for 5 t 20 minutes.

By Loves to Garden from Fresno, CA on 11/3/2008

I gave these gloves to my 86 year old mother and she says they are the best she has ever had.

By Crazy for begonia's from Harleysville, Pa on 10/30/2008

Bought as a gift for a landscape graduate

By Leaferr from Santa Ana, CA on 10/29/2008

I use these for everything except very wet and muddy work. They are puncture resistant (except to rose bushes)and have a great grip on the tools I use. The back fabric is a must because it keeps the gloves breathable. They fit close to my hand like driving gloves so it is like not having gloves at all. My husband finds them to be hot on warm days, but I find them to be much less hot than the other inferior non-breathable teflon gloves out there and have no difficult adjusting.

By Gwen the Environmental Landscaper from Forked River, NJ on 10/25/2008

I use these everyday. The way they fit makes trimming/pruning/mulching/planting much easier than bulky gloves.I wish the finger tips were just a bit stronger...that's the only thing that ever wears out. They wash easily. I am so happy that I found these.

By Happy Gardener from Prescott, AZ on 10/16/2008

I am amazed by the versatility and long lasting quality of these gloves. They are light, flexible, breathe well, yet stand up to thorns and sharp wire without tearing. They are more comfortable and last longer than any other gloves I've had. I prefer thicker gloves for hauling wood or handling heavy things, especially in colder weather. However, these gloves work for every other garden or craft task. I even use them for household cleaning

By Sue from Plymouth, IN on 10/13/2008

The gloves are light weight, comfortable and have good gripping power. I can pick up small items while wearing them.
Dirt does filter through and my hands & nails get dirty. But whats a little dirt to a gardener, I still love the gloves.

By Vicki from Houston, TX on 10/12/2008

The gloves are thin and form-fitting enough that I can use them for delicate jobs, potting and weeding. Unlike leather gloves, they don't get hard when I get them muddy. It is too soon to tell how durable they are.

By Katera from Anderson, CA on 10/10/2008

Having them fit so well is great, I have stubby thumbs & can never find gloves that really fit--these do. They are just enough glove for the light gardening & pruning. I just love them & really recommend them.

By Sue The Gardening Photographer from Dracut. MA on 10/9/2008

I have used one of these pairs of gloves all summer, and can't imagine being without them. I have worked in professional greenhouses, and wish they could have used them there. I now have bought another pair for myself, and one for my husband, who also agress they are tops. They are perfect for those finer pruning jobs, because they fit so perfectly close to your skin.Thanks for such an awesome product!

By MrChristopher from New Jersey on 10/9/2008

great for simple activites and also for feeling the soil you are working in but not for thorns!

By josey from Raymond, Maine on 10/8/2008

I own several pairs. They are great for people with small hands. I am really tough on gloves, so I go through them quickly, but these are reasonabley priced. They are also the most comfortable gloves I have found that are water resistant. I buy them as gifts for all my gardening friends.
I have 2 pairs of silk glove liners I use with them that absorb moisture in the summer and keep hands warm in cooler weather. I just change pairs when they get damp and they dry quickly.

By CK - Herbalist from Central Valley- CA on 10/5/2008

I use this product in daily gardening chores. Their ease of putting & removing makes my somewhat arthritic hands smile. They easily fit in pocket when not needed. Mostly I appreciate the increased manual dexterity I retain with these.

By Rocky Mountain gardener from Denver, CO on 10/3/2008

I use these gloves constantly in the fall and winter when it's chilly and I need a good grip. They fit snuggly, grip really well and are very durable.

By D from Bloomingdale, NJ on 9/27/2008

I have such small hands and short fingers it is very hard to find gloves I am comfortable in, The xsm fit great. My only wish is that they make the gloves in a longer version for heavy gardening to prevent getting poison Ivy on the fore arms.

By Pat from Weehawken, NJ on 9/26/2008

You hardly know you are wearing gloves - protection without the loss of sensitivity of other gloves.

By Lovetogarden from Winfield, IL on 9/26/2008

These gloves hold up amazingly well. I have spent 5 times the amount on gloves that have not held up to the abuse I typically put my hands and anything protecting them through in a season.

By gardener girl from florida on 9/25/2008

I wear the gloves for weeding. They allow me to pick very small weeds with no extra effort.I have already worn out one pair. I just wish they would last longer!

By Kitty from Milledgeville, Ga on 9/25/2008

The closest I've found to gardening with my bare hands.

By Theresa the Gardener from Windermere, FL on 9/23/2008

I use these gloves for heavy duty weeding, light pruning, deadheading, potting, digging, edging, handling landscape materials such as stone or metal edging. I like their flexibility and the fact that you still have tactile sensation through the gloves, something that's very hard to find in other gloves.

By None from Cedarville, OH on 9/23/2008

These gloves are great. It takes forever for them to wear out. They are easy to clean and comfortable.

By Kathy from Kansas City, MO on 9/18/2008

I have acrylic nails. I've tried all kinds of garden gloves. My fingernails usually go thru the end of the gloves almost immediately. I've been using one pair of these all summer and still do not have fingernail holes. They don't feel bulky, I feel I have "fine touch" with them. Theyre the greatest garden gloves out there!!!

By Carol the Master Gardener from Santa Paula, CA on 9/16/2008

They were originally given to me as a gift. I have since purchased 4 pair. I use these gloves when propagating as they allow for good dexterity. They are not water proof but do give adequate protection for light garden duties.

By cinders from hampshire,il on 9/12/2008

held up to unusual circumstances

By D & D from Harrington, Delaware on 9/11/2008

The gloves make it so you can work without feeling like you have bulky gloves on. They are very comfortable.

By sunshine from Osage, Mn on 9/11/2008

I use it the minute I go to the gardens, flowers and vegetable, wash about once a week, I go through 1 pair a season, they do get holes in the tip of fingers, but what pair doesn't !!!!!Have bought them for presents, master gardeners have also recommend them.

By Diane from Philadelphia, PA on 9/6/2008

Great gloves - next time I'll order several pair!!

By Suzanne from Pittsburgh, PA on 9/6/2008

These are the best gloves I've ever used. I ordered my first pair, loved them so much, then I ordered 2 more for me, my husband and my neighbor. They are very durable and water proof. They really protect your hands. We have a lot of water features and the waterproof feature is great. I'm so glad I ordered these.

By Compliance Judy from Olympia Fields, IL on 9/5/2008

They didn't last even a month before there was a hole in a figure tip.

By Moonwatcher Designs from Boulder, CO on 9/5/2008

My days vary between pruning roses, pulling weeds, dead-heading perennials, installing rock and/or mulch, and caring for bees. These gloves provide perfect protection for my hands throughout the day, so that they remain soft enough not to snag my spinning or knitting in the evenings.

By Midge from Stockon, CA on 9/4/2008

I buy these in quantity for my own use as well as passing on to my clients. They are the best I've found in years.

By MK Bloom from Frederick, MD on 9/3/2008

They are great for all purposes. My friends all agree, they're the best.

By Cindy from Berks County, Pennsylvania on 8/30/2008

Multipurpose gardening gloves. They are not waterproof and they begin to smell from sweat/water but if you turn them inside out after washing and hang them on the washline, they are good to go.
The test will be to see if next spring they haven't deteriorated over the winter!

By Mary Lou the woeful weeder from Norwich, NY on 8/28/2008

I have owned numerous pairs over the years and love that you can actually feel what you are doing. They also wash great in the washer.

By JDC from Ewing, NJ on 8/27/2008

Buy more than one pair. Not because they wear out quickly but because you will be using them for everything and your family members will swipe them.

I have used these gloves for about 5 years now. I use them primarily for gardening. You will feel as strong as Samson if you wear these gloves to weed, nothing will slip from your grip. But you will not sacrifice any sensation in your fingertips. You can handle and feel the most delicate transplant.

I use these while grooming horses, my hands stay clean but I can feel every muscle and bump. Nice to have on while cleaning hooves. They are excellent while dog or horse training as they protect from slobber.

I have even used mine while changing a tire on my car--was I glad to have them then!

Tip: best way to wash them; while wearing the gloves, wash your hands, rinse and hang to dry.

By brit in LA from los angeles on 8/27/2008

around garden in general,weeding etc
thin enough that you can feel everything you do
pleasure to have clean nails after messing around in the dirt

By Precious from Denton, NC on 8/26/2008

I use my gloves for all gardening jobs. From potting plants to spreading mulch or pine needles, they offer protection for my manicured nails.

By Flic from Conyers, GA on 8/24/2008

I love the gloves but my hands sweat profusely inside them and it is hard to turn them inside out to air them.

By Limey from Salem,Ohio on 8/24/2008

The fit on my gloves was perfect,and very tight. I was concerned about them making my hands sweat,which is a problem I've had with other gloves. They are warm,but when I take them off,it's as if there were talcum powder on them,my hands are bone dry,and they slip straight off. I also bought a pair each for my two sisters that live in England. I'm sure they will appreciate them being warm,the way they said their summer has been!

By Reene from Naples, Florida on 8/21/2008

I am a professional master gardener. I wear these gloves daily and for several hours at a time. I love the lightweight and durablity I get. Everyone should own a pair.

By Betty from Carrboro NC on 8/19/2008

These gloves are very comfortable and you can easily grip weeds or hold onto garden tools. I alsways have a spare pair on the shelf for when the current pair starts to wear. I also buy these as gifts.

By CON from Grinnell, IA on 8/19/2008

No more thorns and splinters for me. These are the best gardening gloves I've ever owned. I really like the way they fit and allow for maneuverability.

By farbus1 from rural ny on 8/19/2008

i bought my husband a pair last year for his birthday! he loved them, so i got a pair for myself this summer and they are great. i can plant seeds with them on and yet dig in the garden and they work very well. no more soggy cotton gloves or feeling like i cant feel what im doing. i would reccomend these to anyone that works outside.

By shadoe from Springfield IL on 8/18/2008

These are the most comfortable gloves made. I will never buy any other kind. They are flexible yet durable. Not waterproof, but that's OK

By Jean from Lansing, MI on 8/16/2008

I like these gloves because I can feel what I am doing and feel protected also.

By euphorbia collector from los angeles, ca on 8/15/2008

I use these gloves for repotting--good for delicate plants because they are not bulky. Also work with succulents and they protect me from the spines.

By Shirl from Lititz,PA on 8/14/2008

Used when garden was wet and when finished just rinsed them while on hands hung to dry they were almost like new

By Julie from Bath, MI on 8/13/2008

I bought two new pair of work gloves this spring and both had holes before I could blink. These new gloves are still working and I do all kinds of gardening using my hands. I will be getting extra pairs maybe even for Christmas presents.

By Keit from London, AR on 8/12/2008

These gloves are absolutely the best when you need to protect your fingers but also need the dexterity to pull little weeds and grass growing in tight places. They're sturdy but I use them so much I need at least one new pair every spring.

By Rookie in the garden from Post Falls, Id on 8/12/2008

Like gardening without gloves only with no dirt under the nails

By 3 dog Momma from Goshen, IN on 8/12/2008

I realy like these gloves! They are light weight and move with me so that I can pull even the tiniest weeds but they even protect against thistles!!

By country parson from Galena, Illinois on 8/12/2008

I can really feel what I'm touching which gives great control, but the protection from wet and thorns is still total. Too early to know if they wear well.

By The Raspberry Lady from Boston MA on 8/10/2008

These gloves are so great, I bought 2 more pairs. I caught the material next to a nail I was hammering and they did not tear. My raspberry thorns are no problem now. Great gloves!

By Garden Momma from Stafford, NY on 8/10/2008

Used to go through garden gloves like water...these are the best all around gloves to be bought. They wash in the wash machine and come out like brand new. I have lymphedema in the arm and hand and must wear garden gloves....these are the best for comfort, wearability, durablity.

By Bev from Redwater, TX on 8/8/2008

Weeding the smallest of weeds is allowed because of the suppleness of these gloves. Laying stones/bricks for landscaping doesn't tear them.
I recommend these to others all the time.

By Shell from Michigan on 8/7/2008

I was skeptical at first, I like the light weight factor. Also I like the protection on the palms against water, rose thorns, etc.

By Mary from Telford, TN on 8/7/2008

I have found a pair of gloves I will use as long as I can get them. Have given a pair to many gardening friends and they love them also. They are comfortable to wear all day long even if your hands get wet.

By Texan from Dallas Texas on 8/6/2008

I love this product and have ordered more for gifts
