Take a look most evenings or at the weekend around the UK, and you will find many gardeners busy in their garden, and most of them will be wearing some type of gardening gloves.<\/p>\n

Now we all know there are keen gardeners and a great deal more reluctant gardeners. Either way, protecting the hands when gardening is important for a whole list of reasons.<\/p>\n

We will not bore you with a long list of reasons why you should wear gloves in the garden, as most of the reasons are more or less common sense. Gloves are all about protecting your hands, and in some cases protecting your hands and arms.<\/p>\n

There are serious risks from touching soils in gardens especially if there are a lot of cats around. Cat poop from infected cats, is known to contain certain elements that can cause toxoplasmosis, which can lead to cancer.<\/p>\n

That one fact alone makes it essential to wear gloves around the garden. Now we also understand that some gardeners do like to get their hands down and dirty in the soil. We do however get into the problems of not wearing gloves later in this article.<\/p>\n

For now though, let’s have a look at some of the best gardening gloves around.<\/p>\n

\"gardening<\/span><\/p>\n

Best for Men<\/h2>\n

In this section we check out what the best gardening gloves for men. Generally speaking men have larger hands than women, and as such will need slightly bigger gloves. There are exceptions to this of course, but as a general rule it is pretty sound.<\/p>\n

The best types of gloves to buy for working in a garden are leather gloves that have been weather proofed. This is because they offer the best protection, and they will last for ages.<\/p>\n

For any type of gardening gloves we think it is also really important that they feel right on your hands, rather than making you feel clunky. The fit is therefore important and not all men have the same size of hands.<\/p>\n

Be careful when buying your gloves and don’t be afraid to change them if the don’t fit properly.<\/p>\n

For men we really like these gardening gloves. First of all we really like the price and online buyers give these gloves an 88% buyer satisfaction rating.<\/p>\n

\"Green<\/span><\/p>\n

These gloves offer extra gripping power as they are made with a non slip latex coating. You can use them in the garden but also for around the home, and even for construction jobs.<\/p>\n

These gloves are comfortable when worn and afford maximum protection for the hands. They are breathable which helps keep the hands cool, unlike plastic or rubber gloves.<\/p>\n

Best for Women<\/h2>\n

In this section we check out what the best gardening gloves for women. Generally speaking women have smaller hands than women, and as such will need slightly smaller gloves. There are exceptions to this of course, but as a general rule it is pretty sound.<\/p>\n

As with men’s gloves we would also recommend good quality leather gloves for ladies. As you may imagine these gloves do tend to come in more feminine or pastel colours. That does give you some choice of course, but you can also get standard gardening gloves for women.<\/p>\n

The gardening gloves below appear to be the most popular online choice for ladies who enjoy their gardening. They have certainly sold the most.<\/p>\n

\"VIRIDESCENT<\/span><\/p>\n

The reasons for that is they are a snug fit unlike many other gloves. They have adjustable velcro fasteners which help you adjust the size. Leather is used for the palm of the gloves and the panels in between the fingers which gives better protection and durability.<\/p>\n

These gloves are a good choice to help protect the hands from rose bushes, prickly shrubs, undergrowth and any other painful scrapes that gardening many cause.<\/p>\n

We do like the fact that the company offers 100% money back satisfaction guarantee. <\/strong>Simply return the product for a full refund.<\/p>\n

Best Gardening Gloves for Children<\/h2>\n

In this section we check out what the best gardening gloves for kids. Children have small hands, and they are also attracted by brighter colours and even characters. It is important to keep children’s hands protected when working\/playing in soil or in the garden.<\/p>\n

We have explained the reasons for that below, but it is even more important for children to wear gloves if you want to teach them gardening.<\/p>\n

For kids gloves we like these. Just be careful when buying though as kid’s hands grow quite quickly and it is important that they fit properly.<\/p>\n

\"HANDLANDY<\/span><\/p>\n

We like the set of gloves to the right for a few reasons which are:<\/p>\n

They are a good choice for kids gardening, DIY light duty works and outdoor activities<\/p>\n

They are made from natural foam latex coating for high breathability and keeps hands cool and dry<\/p>\n

They have a soft polyester seamless liner that makes them feel comfortable for kids. In this pack you do get e pairs of gloves because kids will loose these.<\/p>\n

There are also three colours and a nice patter. They also comply fully with REACH regulation, and are CE certified with EN388. They can also be washed.<\/p>\n

Best Gauntlet<\/h2>\n

In this section we check out what the best gauntlet gardening gloves. Many people will want to work in the garden wearing a T-shirt or a short sleeved type of shirt or top. That does however leave the forearms exposed and they can get scraped easily.<\/p>\n

The gauntlet style glove is longer and as such offers a good degree of protection to the hands and forearms.<\/p>\n

\"Leather<\/span><\/p>\n

We like the one shown above from the Sawans brand – they are very good value for money and they get excellent buyer reviews. They are made from a soft goat skin and spandex so good for general purpose gardening and heavy duty gardening as well. They don’t cover the entire forearm but they cover enough to give you the right type of protection<\/p>\n

They come in small, medium, large and extra large sizes.<\/p>\n
