Top 3 Best Gardening Gloves for women

1. Skydeer women's working gloves

pink and gray suede gardening gloves for women

These gardening gloves are made with deerskin leather suede so they are tough! Not only that, they stretch to fit your hand while still being comfortable.

What we like:

  • They have double padded foam on palm for comfort.
  • You almost forget you are wearing gloves, and they grip really well.

What we don't like:

  • They aren't fully waterproof. Only the nylon backing is waterproof. It would be better if the waterproofing was in the palm and fingertips.
  • They have to be hand washed.

2. Suse's Kinder Thorn Proof Gardening Gloves with kevlar and leather

If you have roses, you know what a pain it can be to prune them. These pruning gloves are longer than traditional gloves to help protect your forearm while you are pruning. Not only that, they have a kevlar lining that makes them thorn-proof!

What we like:

  • They have a tough kevlar lining.
  • They are stitched with kevlar, so they are going to last.

What we don't like:

  • They don't have a clear sizing structure. You will need a measure the width all the way around your palm (not including your thumb). Then based on your measurement, you need to get the according size.
Example Glove Sizing Guide
6-7 inchesXS152-178 Milimeters
7-8 inchesS178-203 Milimeters
8-9 inchesM203-229 Milimeters
9-10 inchesL229-254 Milimeters
10-11 inchesXL254-279 Milimeters
11+ inchesXXL279+ Milimeters

3. Wells Lamont HydraHyde water-resistant leather gloves

These water resistant leather gloves are durable, and water resistant where it counts the palms and fingertips. These would be great for keeping your hands dry when repotting plants or digging in your garden beds.

What we like:

  • They are water-resistant on the palms and fingertips.
  • They have a wrist adjustment strap.

What we don't like:

  • Not ideal for rose pruning as they are not thorn-proof.

Top 3 Best Gardening Gloves for Men

1. Skydeer Mens Water Resistant Gardening Gloves

Skydeer also makes great gardening gloves for men. These water resistant gardening gloves are made with hi-performance synthetic leather that can stand up to rose pruning.

What we like:

  • They are machine washable.
  • They are comfortable enough to wear for long periods of time.

What we don't like:

  • The elastic wrist doesn't keep dirt out

2. Wells Lamont Men's Leather Work Gloves

Wells Lamont makes great leather gloves for women and men. They have a fabric called HydraHyde that is water resistant. Not only that, they are designed for dexterity and movement.

What we like:

  • They are water resistant.
  • They have a wrist adjustment for keeping debris out.

What we don't like:

  • The fabric on the back is made with spandex and neoprene, which while it might be flexible, is definitely not thorn-proof.

3. Suse's Kinder Thorn Proof Gardening Gloves with kevlar and leather

If you are looking for some extremely tough gardening gloves, these are for you! They have a Kevlar lining to keep your hands safe from thorns. They are also stitched with kevlar so they aren't going to fall apart.

What we like:

  • They are thorn-proof, and designed to last.
  • They are long enough to keep your forearms safe.

What we don't like:

  • They don't have a clear sizing structure. You will need a measure the width all the way around your palm (not including your thumb). Then based on your measurement, you need to get the according size.
Example Glove Sizing Guide
6-7 inchesXS152-178 Milimeters
7-8 inchesS178-203 Milimeters

11+ inchesXXL279+ Milimeters

Why are gardening gloves so important?

Gloves keep your hands clean, and dry. They also help keep your hands from getting blisters, calluses, cuts, and scrapes.

If you are a rose gardener, gloves are extremely important because those thorns are nasty and if you get cut by a thorn, you could get a fungal infection galled rose gardener's disease.
