my poor hand !

Ouch…ouch,ouch,ouch.

I have got to get myself some decent gardening gloves..Ouch

The half a dozen [cheap] pairs i have at the moment are all rubbish, that are either too big for my teeny hands which make me look like coco the clown or are falling apart at the finger tips and rubbing and chafing my poor little digits…

I quite like the look of these

Has anyone got any recommendations for some decent gardening gloves ?…Ouch.

Soft pliable leather. The ones that feel like doeskin. That’s my favorite type. Cotton doesn’t protect the hands enough. I don’t use them to stay clean, so that’s what I like to buy.

Hello there .. I find the best gloves that fit well and provide protection are part fabric and part leather or a very good rubber .. the fabric should have some latex for stretchy or close fit .. and the leather or rubber for protection .. sometimes blisters are just going to happen because of the reptitive motion and wear.
Good Luck
Joy

oh ouch.
I am send you a kiss to make it better.
“kiss”
I don”t know about that particular variety of glove - but they look good.
I have lots of different pairs for different things.
What were you doing? Lots of cutting and digging?
Regards

Best ones I’ve ever had are Nitropalm. Superb for general use and they last ages. Using them now - lots of flexibility and very tactile. Cheap too about £4.
Not heavyweight though - should you be attacking roses

Any that fit well and made by Town & Country, my all-time favourite gardening brand. The washable leather ones are best.
Love your blog. Please take a look at mine:
