WESTWOOD FOX Ladies/Mens Leather Gardening Gloves Thorn Proof Rigger Garden work gloves, Safety Working Gloves, Premium Quality (Purple, M)

Good fit, lovely soft leather, and comfortable to wear

I have goalie-sized hands for a girl and I needed some big gardening gloves. The trouble I had was finding some feminine looking gloves for man sized hands - and these gloves definitely fit the bill! They have brightly coloured accents, so I can see them in my gardening tool box. Once I got over the inertia of getting them dirty (the base colour is white, after all) I found that these gloves were perfect. Perfect finger fit, perfect palm fit, perfect length to wrist. Very durable too. I work with prickly roses for floristry and I have removed the thorns from the gloves, and they did not pierce the fabric at all. They smell of leather, so I assume they are leather. But the smell is not plastic and does not have the odour that many other gardening gloves can have. They are soft, flexible, and not at all stiff, which means I can undertake more intricate floristry tasks for example. I was very surprised at how cheap these gloves are. Very good value for money, and vanity would have me buying other pairs, just to match different outfits :-)

Very good gloves overall. I'm in the garden 5 days a week all year round and have put them through their paces... Washed well initially, and eventually started to stiffen and thin and flake off. Good, comfortable fit - they were a bit stiff at first but that didn't last long. Not fully waterproof or fully thorn-proof but better than 99% of the rigger gloves I've had, and perfect with a thinner glove inside. If I hadn't alternated with other gloves I think those would have lasted 2 months or so, but that's actually good, given the intensive use. I think my current pair will fail at the palms before it does at the finger tips, which is very unusual, in a good way, and is testament to good "construction". In the same vein, the velcro cuffs haven't failed either, which is also a nice surprise ( I tend to rip the velcros right out of the gloves within weeks). Will definitely order again as they're overall very good value for money. I would give 5 stars if the "leather" bit washed and weathered a bit better.

Durable, well-made gardening gloves.

Good quality and not to bulky it does protect your hands against thorns and sharps quite warm

Good gloves for gardening , cosy fit Saved my hands from a few thorns

These gloves are amazing I made the mistake of ordering the Small size, *note to self to pay more attention before ordering more! However, I have just spent an hour in the garden removing blackberry branches of various stages of growth and death and not one prickle or thorn came through these gloves, best investment ever and I have tried several brands prior to these ones. Although these were quite tight fitting on my large hands on and using secateurs was a struggle at first as my grip was slightly hindered as they were Small (I got used to them) on removal my hands were not sweaty and there were no sneaky thorns that had sneaked in through them - I will definitely purchase more of these and I highly recommend them

Nice pair of gloves, fit nicely alittle bit long on the fingers even though I got small. But feel nice on.
