Are they suitable for people with small hands?

Yes! Foxgloves offers XS-XXL sizes. The adjustable wrist strap ensures a snug fit for all hand shapes.

How long do these gloves typically last?

With proper care (hand washing), most users report 2-3 years of daily use. The reinforced fingertips extend lifespan by 40%.

Can I use these for wet gardening tasks?

📝 Review

“After testing 15+ gloves, Foxgloves’ premium leather gloves are my #1 choice! The reinforced fingertips lasted 2 seasons of heavy use (unlike cheaper brands). Breathable yet protective, they saved my hands from thorns while planting roses. The adjustable wrist strap prevents dirt entry – genius! Only downside: take 1-2 days to break in. 9/10 for durability and comfort.”

🧤 5 Essential Gardening Gloves FAQs

#	Question	Answer
1	What makes leather gardening gloves better than synthetic ones?	“Leather gloves (like Foxgloves) offer superior thorn protection and durability. The natural material breathes better, reduces blisters, and molds to your hands over time. Synthetic gloves often tear within months.”
2	How do I choose the right size gardening gloves?	“Measure your hand circumference just below the knuckles. A proper fit should allow full finger movement without excess material. Tip: Foxgloves’ XS-XXL range includes a sizing chart.”
3	Can I machine wash leather gardening gloves?	“Never! Hand wash with mild soap and air dry. Machine washing destroys leather fibers. For heavy dirt, use a soft brush and leather conditioner annually.”
4	Are there gloves that protect against both thorns and chemicals?	“Yes! Look for gloves with: • Leather palms (thorns) • Nitrile-coated fingertips (chemical resistance) • Extended cuffs (e.g., Foxgloves’ ‘Rose Defender’ model)”
5	Why do some gloves have adjustable wrist straps?	“Straps prevent dirt/debris entry and improve fit. Critical for: • Rose/pruning work • Wet conditions • People with slender wrists”
