Why you should have the right gardening Gloves
Gardening can be an extremely interesting and often addictive hobby for some. I have seen people spend hours together in their garden. If you are one of those people, then spare a thought for your hands. A garden is a completely different world. Your hands will be subject to hard surfaces, friction, dryness, insects, poisonous weeds and chemicals. It is extremely important that you invest in a pair of quality gardening gloves to keep your hands protected while you are working in a garden. This is easier said than done. A good pair of work gloves should not only keep your hands well protected, but they should also be extremely comfortable to use. You can choose from cotton, leather or synthetic gloves.
The design
Today most gardening gloves are ergonomically designed to look attractive and function better. Cabretta leather made gloves are extremely popular for their comfort factor and durability. Most gloves today have webbing at the base of the finger to allow the gloves to breathe. This ensures that you do not feel sticky within the gloves even after long periods of use. Besides this, look for some extra padding on the palm as this is an area that will be subject to maximum pressure. You will be gripping most of your digging tools with your palm so you need the padding. Last but not the least; the gloves should have a snug wrist band that fits well.
Selecting the right one
Enter a garden tools shop and you will see several gloves racked up on the shelves. They might look like the best ones in the world but that doesn’t mean they will suit you. Always wear a pair of gloves before you choose it. The glove shouldn’t be too tight or too loose. It should be a comfortable fit. Try gripping a garden fork or a tiller with it and see if you are able to move your wrist around freely. There is a method to measure the right size of gardening gloves for your hand. Take a measuring tape and keep it just below your fingers on your palm. This will determine the glove size that will suit you best. Lastly, spare a thought for washing and drying of the gloves. The gloves should be easy to wash and dry too.
Do not use fingerless gloves or winter gloves in the garden. Gardening gloves are specially designed for effectiveness in the garden.
