Best Thorn Proof Gardening Gloves

In this guide we've compared different types of material, durability, comfort and cost to give you our best recommendations.
Don't think that one type of thorn proof gardening gloves is perfect for everything.
You need to take in consideration few things: Material, Flexibility & Fit, Ventilation and Price.

The Best Thorn Resistant Gloves are made from leather.

- Goatskin is the most durable type of leather, provides excellent puncture resistance, soft and flexible, making a perfect material for gardening gloves. Usually is found only in higher-end gloves making them more expensive.
- Split cow hide it doesn't flex well so you'll find it in the heavy duty gloves, cuffs or work gauntlets that will protect you from just about anything.
- Synthetic leather is the most common material found in many gardening gloves this days. The gloves made entirely from synthetic leather can be machine washed.
- Pigskin Leather is offering more comfort being also very durable. Many thorn proof gardening gloves are made from this type of material.

Now that we covered the most common types of leather for thorn proof gardening gloves, is time to speak about

Flexibility and Fit.

Your gardening gloves should be flexible enough to allow grabbing of tools and operate machinery, offering protection and enabling full use of each finger.
For a better fit your finger tips should be near the end of the fingers but not jammed against the end of the glove.
Make sure the webbing between the fingers also fits snugly without chafing.

To help you chose the right size, every time when you buy from GardenerGloves you can find a table on the bottom of every product with all the glove measurements.

Example:

Glove Size Hand Circumference(mm) Hand Length(mm)
Size 8 190 mm 185 mm
Size 9 229 mm 192 mm

 

Ventilation

Is important to look for thorn proof gloves with breathable fabric on the back to keep your hands cool and dry on hot days.

Price

You don't have to pay much for a pair of gardening gloves, but you can expect the price to go up depending on features like flexibility, durability, strength, double stitching, and more.
For example: a pair of durable leather gardening gloves with Velcro wrist closure, reinforced fingertips, double stitched seams and a lot of flexibility will cost more than a pair of regular leather gloves.
It's worth spending money if that's what you need.
