When you spend a lot of time working in the garden all year round – whether on a private or professional basis – your choice of gardening glove makes all the difference.

• If your garden glove does not fit properly (and many cheaper brands do not fit true to size), the glove can rub and chafe against your hand.
• If the glove is not sufficiently waterproof, your hands may get wet, leading to chaps, rough skin and aching joints.
• If the glove is not padded or supportive enough, you may be unable to carry out important outdoor tasks, or suffer from aches at the end of the day.
• If the glove is made from substandard materials, it will quickly wear out, exposing your hands to cuts and scrapes from thorns, nails and sharp objects.
