BARST Long Gardening Gloves - Thorn Proof Rose Pruning Gloves for Bushes & Cacti - Durable Gardener Gift for Women & Men - Perfect for Landscaping, Planting & Yard Work

For some reason squash and bean plants give me hives. These have saved my poor forearms from months of abuse. I also used them when I caught a feral cat and brought him to the vet, but I don’t necessarily recommend them for that hahaMy wife loves them.Very durable, but sizing is off. Order a size BIGGER than you need (if you normally wear medium, order large instead)These seem like amazing gloves, but the sizing chart is WAY off. I measured my hand correctly according to the chart and should have had extra room with the small. Like the small would have been too big for me according to their measurement, but I decided for the price I would just deal with them being a little loose. Well the small is way too small! Made for someone with really short and stubby fingers. Shipping also took sooo long. I’m swapping for a medium though because they really do seem like great gloves if I can get them to fitMost heavy gloves are like wearing heavy mittens and won't let you do any fine motor skills without taking them off. Some gloves give you the dexterity, but then no protection from thorns and wear out fast. These gloves were think, well fitting and you can clip, grab, pull and hold without taking them off. I was so happy with them after I used them in the garden a couple of days I ordered another pair right away as I am sure everybody will be taking them!Love the comfort, fit and amazing versatility of use! First gloves that said you wouldn’t feel thorns and you don’t! I cut down rose bushes and 1-2” thorny trees and never felt anything! Planted roses and got them dirty and muddy, just washed them out and let them dry. Love the gauntlet feature since they protect your arms as well as your hands. The faux leather fabric is soft, smooth, comfortable yet has a sleek fit. I have small hands but ordered the medium glove size and they fit well. A little extra finger room and the gloves come up to just below the elbow. If you look at the sizing, there’s hardly any difference between the small and medium sizes, just a longer sleeve section. I personally prefer that. Love these gloves so much I purchased 2 pair, one for me and my daughter.Gardening, to protect arms and hands. Excellent!I do lots of rose pruning, but for private and public gardens. The one great benefit is these gloves can be washed, so not to spread disease from one garden to the next. Material is fine, but the extended sleeve part is made of a neoprene-like material and can get rather warm. So, I tend to use these gloves in spring and fall, but not necessarily during hot weather.The small is truly a small, so comfortableExcelentes
