The Best Gardening Gloves for the Job
Gardening season is here, which means you need to get equipped! High-quality garden gloves are a must for safety, sanitation, comfort, and performance. But not all gloves are alike, and depending on your priorities and the task at hand, one style will be more suitable than another. Whether you’re a master gardener or just getting started, take advantage of this buyer’s guide so you can find the best gardening gloves that are right for you.
Best thorn proof gloves for rose pruning
Every rose has its thorn, which is why you need a good pair of thorn proof gloves to protect against abrasions and punctures. For tasks involving sharp materials like pruning, we recommend a strong leather palm glove like Bellingham Glove’s C7352 Thorn Resistant Gauntlet Gloves. Alternatively, you may opt for a nitrile coated gardening glove. Bellingham Glove has designed several with this in mind, such as the Nitrile Tough GT and Nitrile Tough Max.
Best gloves for pulling weeds, seeding, and planting
Precise tasks call for gloves with excellent tactility and dexterity. The Showa Atlas 370 Garden Gloves in Assorted Colors are a garden club favorite and comes in four attractive colors: purple, mango orange, pink, and green. They’re also available in black, individual colors, and a 4 pair pack to suit your personal taste. If you’re looking for a more disposable style, Global Glove offers an economical “370 style” alternative.
Best gardening gloves for working with shovels, rakes, and hoes
For handling heavier tools, we recommend a work glove with grip like the Showa Atlas Fit 300. Not only is it our bestselling gardening glove, but it’s also our bestselling glove period! It is sold by the dozen and also available in a convenient 4 pair pack. For more styles with extra grip, check out the Wonder Grip collection from Bellingham Glove.
Best gardening gloves for spraying weed killer and other chemicals
Interaction with hazardous chemicals requires proper chemical resistant gloves to stay safe. Showa Atlas offers several bestsellers like the 600 Vinylove and 620 Vinylove, as well as the 772 elbow length gardening gloves for full arm protection.
Best eco-friendly garden gloves
For those looking for the best eco-friendly garden gloves, the Bellingham C3704 EcoMaster is made of water-based polymer polyurethane and the Bellingham C5371 Bamboo Gardener is made of sustainable bamboo rayon.
Best gardening gloves for warm and cold weather
On days when the sun is beating down, we suggest wearing moisture-wicking gloves for maximum comfort like the Bellingham C2603AP Cool and Bellingham C4400 CoolMax. We also carry a number of useful cooling accessories to supplement your garden gloves.
On colder days when your garden needs tending, you can stay warm with our high-quality thermal-lined garden gloves like the Showa Atlas Therma Fit 451 and Wonder Grip WG-338 Thermo Plus. We also carry ear warmers and heating accessories for added cold weather protection.
