Gardening Gloves

1. Used for thousands of years in everything from clothing to armor, leather is almost as familiar to us as our own skin. The leather gardening gloves at OnlyGloves.com add a modern innovation to this all-purpose material: neoprene, a synthetic rubber of exceptional toughness. Neoprene is highly resistant to damage from flexing and twisting—sounds like the perfect gardening glove material.

2. Root through the earth with your fingers, and you’re gonna get your hands—or at least your gardening gloves—dirty. You can get out the garden hose and scrub, or opt for a simpler solution: washable gardening gloves. Most of our gardening gloves can be machine washed, but check the instructions: they’ll likely require air drying.

3. Even with gloves, a long day of weeding and raking can take a toll on one’s fingers. Go easy on your digits, and increase their pulling power, with extra grip gardening gloves. These elite gardening gloves provide excellent padding and protection.

4. Every rose has its thorn. Every gardener has her glove. And if she’s an experienced gardener, she has a gauntlet glove. Gauntlet gardening gloves have an extended protective cuff that guards the wrist and forearm in potentially bloody conflicts such as rose bush pruning. Our bionic rose gardening gloves offer a snug and flexible fit.

5. Bionic gardening gloves are so called because of how their designs augment the natural abilities and movements of the human hand. In fact, they were designed by an orthopedic hand surgeon. Motion zones, anatomical relief pads, and other bionic glove features enable more natural movement, increase grip, eliminate blisters, and ease the physical strain that comes with a full day of gardening.

6. Nature’s is a motley palette, as evidenced by the riot of color we call a flower garden. Get into the spirit of things with mens and womens gardening gloves in bright and blooming colors. Our color gardening gloves include blue, purple, pink, and more.

7. To determine which of our mens gardening gloves would be the right size for you, measure the circumference of your hand around the palm and over the knuckles. You’ll probably fit into one of these size estimates: small (7.75-8 inches), medium (8-8.25 inches), large (8.25-8.75 inches), extra large (8.75-9.25 inches), and double X large (9.25-9.5 inches).

8. The sizes of our womens gardening gloves generally follow these hand circumference measurements: small (5.25-6 inches), medium (6.25-7 inches), large (7.25-8 inches), and extra large (8.25-9 inches).
