I use to hate wearing gloves, I could not pick out the small weeds around plants with gloves on. Then breast cancer struck and after surgery was told to protect my right arm and hand against nicks and cuts as an infection could cause lymphedema. When I found these gloves they were just right, fits snug around the wrist to prevent insects from getting trapped and biting. Can pull weeds with ease, just so comfortable to wear, I forget I have them on.

I love that they're so thin and flexible and love the grip. The only downsides I've discovered are that they're not the best for working with prickly/thorny plants (as previously mentioned) and that in wet weather or after watering, mucky water can soak in through the nylon material on the "rear" of the gloves. That's pretty easy to avoid though--I just get too absorbed sometimes in what I'm doing. In warmer weather the nylon is much appreciated as it allows your hands to breathe a bit. gardadore On November 6, 2007, gardadore from Saylorsburg, PA wrote: I concur that these are the best gloves I have ever used, and I have tried a lot of brands! I always wore holes in gloves after extensive weeding, but not these yet! I bought a dozen from Palmflex so they were really cheap per pair. Washable and quixk drying..

As mentioned, I don''t even feel like I am wearing gloves. My wedding ring does eventually wear through the mesh top where the stone sits but thats only because I wear them all the time. They can now be found in several local nurseries. kaperc On July 10, 2007, kaperc from No. San Diego Co., CA wrote: Ditto. Just rec'd my order and LOVE these gloves. I have a bad cut on a knuckle and was able to ease the gloves over the padded bandage and wore them most of the day. No chafing like other gloves; excellent dexterity; most comfortable I've ever worn. Here's where I bought mine - they have good prices and if you share a case with friends, you can get them even cheaper.

With hundreds of hours of gardenening work requiring more dextrous hand mobility that heavier or leather gloves can't offer, these gloves can't be beat. They wash well and also offer nonslip grip. Same high praise for Atlas regular weight and insulated cool weather, rubber-palmed gloves. Do not settle for substitutions, they don't last like Atlas brand in my experience. ecrane3 On June 22, 2007, ecrane3 from Dublin, CA wrote: These are without a doubt the best gardening gloves I've ever had (unless you're pruning thorny shrubs). They protect your hands from dirt, etc but maintain dexterity in a way that no other glove I've ever tried does. I hardly even realize I'm wearing gloves because I have pretty much the same dexterity I would if I weren't wearing them, but my hands stay clean and protected. They're definitely not thick enough to keep out things like rose thorns though
