Many garden centers will have rows of worn looking gloves covered with rubber shards or plants. When you pick them up, they are probably completely useless.
Here are 4 kinds of garden gloves that are worth the investment. They have a longer service life, are more fit for hands, and are better for the environment: leather gloves, latex coated gloves, thermally insulated gloves and mechanical gloves
Leather gloves, they are very durable
These gloves are made of leather, very snug. The best part is that they don’t need to be worn and taken off repeatedly like other leather gloves. The leather gloves in the past felt like mittens, which was really clumsy. If you are dealing with thorny specimens, hedges things that usually scratch your arms. These protect you and really once you've got these on, you could undertake a whole heap of pruning duties without needing to take them off, they've got an incredible fit and you can use them all over the garden.
Cheap and cheerful latex coated gloves
Latex gloves are really cheap. You can buy a pack of 10 at a relatively cheap price from an online store. The benefit is that they're really lightweight and when you put them on, you'll see they really do multi fingers; these are ideal for planting, so when you're hunting up plants and taking cuttings or working in the greenhouse, you don't let your fingers get hopefully caked in mud. Latex coated gloves allow the hand to enter any trivial corner gaps very dexterously without damaging the plants. Of course, they are not indestructible, so don't try to lift heavy sharp objects with them, but if you just want to grow your garden, this is an ideal choice.
Thermal insulated gloves, winter's choice
One of the main problems of working in winter is that the fingers will become very cold, it puts people off in gardening, such as cleaning leaves and tidying the garden. there's nothing worse than having your fingertips feel like they're gonna drop off. The outer layer of insulated gloves is waterproof and very warm, suitable for short-term sharp work. You probably want to pick a glove slightly more breathable, but warmth is more important in cold months, thermal insulated gloves can keep your fingers comfortable.
Mechanical gloves, heavy duty option
This glove is suitable for moving things, such as bricks and any irons. The mechanical glove has a certain cut resistance, so when you are dealing with very sharp objects, especially hardcore gravel, this glove is highly recommended.
If you don't want your fingers to look like you spent the past 50 years living as a hermit in a cave, gardening gloves are a really good way to both protect your hands and to also make gardening that a little bit more comfortable.
