A comfortable, hard wearing glove made from extraordinarily soft and pliable grain leather enabling a high level of dexterity.
What the discerning gardener needs from a pair of garden gloves is a good snug fit combined with durability.
Gold Leaf gloves from the UK fit this description very well, they are top of the range and some say the best you can buy.
There are plenty of tough - but clunky garden gloves on the market which might last you a fair few years, but if you can't feel what you are doing then they can become a hinderance.
I have had a pair of Gold Leaf Dry Touch gloves for around a decade and I can tell you that you really can feel what you’re doing - like no others I have tried.
The snug fit combined with very flexible, high quality leather stretches around the hand, like a second skin, allowing you to feel very precisely what you are doing, while still providing good protection.
They’re fully lined and will be quite a tight fit to start with, but that's intentional as they stretch over time, moulding to your specific hand shape . . . . and that's what gives you the extra sensitivity and comfort that have made these the choice of gardeners around the world for decades.
They have been treated to repel water and therefore not end up going stiff, remaining soft and supple for decades – especially with a coating of dubbin applied from time to time.
Gold Leaf Gloves are so good they have been endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society in the UK, and you can’t say better than that.
