GOLD LEAFGold Leaf WINTER TOUCH Deluxe Deerskin Leather Waterpoof Warm RHS Gardening Gloves - Gents Size - Great Gift

These are lovely gloves. Soft, supple leather but truly waterproof.Update I’ve had these since December and it’s now 24 March. I will definitely buy these again as they have kept my hands warm and dry throughout the cold wet winter weather as I carried out work to my allotment.

This is the second pair of these gardening gloves that I have used. The leather is supple and soft but resists thorns et cetera. They fit well and are a pleasing and practical gardening glove to use. I also, as another time, bought a pair for my brother-in-law and he rates them very highly too.

Protects and hands stay warm and dry in the cold wet weather

When I first got into gardening last summer I bought some of those 'rigger' type gardening gloves from a well-known DIY chain. Unfortunately they quickly started to come apart at the seams and were certainly not water or thorn proof.This set of gloves on the other hand are (I can confirm after tackling some roses, hawthorn, and brambles) are most definitely thorn proof on the palms - though I imagine you could pierce the outer layer if you really wanted to (for some reason?) but it would take a really significant effort. The back of the gloves are not thorn proof (and do not claim to be) but will easily deflect grazing thorns etc. - however avoid direct piercings.The gloves are also incredibly warm and waterproof (I worked all day outside with them in damp cold weather) and still had dry hands when I came indoors.The sizes are a bit vague (gents/ladies) - having also got my mum a different pair from the range I would say always go for the 'gents' size if you think your hands are anything other than tiny (everyone!).

Very good thick gloves that provide much needed warmth for your hands in winter with a very comfortable lining. Thick enough that you can pick up brambles and thorny things without getting hurt. Only slight bad thing is that if you use them in heavy rain/ wet conditions, after a few hours, the damp and wetness starts to soak through into your hands, but I think this is to be expected due to their material, and the pros definitely outweigh the cons with these gloves and I use them every winter/ cold period in the garden.

I've had a pair that lasted 2 years with moderate use. Costly gloves but worth it for the longevity. I also never got stabbed by bramble thorns, which was nice. Ordered another 2 pairs to cover my fear that one day they may get discontinued.

Really warm and comfortable, just right for cold winter months and thorn resistant. Mens with very large hands may have a problem woith these glove as they come in one size. But overall really good gloves.

Fine for all but the fiddliest jobs. Wearing in a reasonable manner.
