I LOVE these gloves, and I have bought them several times in the past. However, when I ordered this set I could not remember what size I had ordered in the past or how the sizing ran so I opted for a medium over a small. That was a mistake. IMHO, they run just a tad large. Don't get me wrong. They still fit, but not snug - and you WANT these to be snug. When they fit right, they are like second skin and you don't even know they are on so they don't get in the way of practically anything. My hand is a size 7 glove, and I have fairly short fingers. The small size is the perfect fit, while the medium fingers are ~1cm too long.
That said, the fabric is quite breathable, and the rubber portion is very pliant and helps you grip almost anything. In my experience, neither the fabric nor the rubber has degraded over several years of use. I quite literally wore them out (holes in finger tips) after > 5 years of heavy garden use. I absolutely love these gloves and cannot recommend them enough. .
These gloves are fairly thin and mold nicely to your hand. There is still some sense that I can feel what I'm doing while I'm wearing them and use my hand almost like I wasn't wearing a glove at all.
The padding on the inside of the glove feels like a thing rubber coating. It is strong enough to protect my hands while doing normal gardening activities like planting and wedding.
The back of the glove is a stretchy material which is quite comfortable.
I often find that gloves aimed at women are a bit too small for me. But because of the stretch, the Mediums fit perfectly.
They are not waterproof but when they get wet I find that they dry out easily just by hanging them on a peg in the garage.
They are my go-to gloves for anything yard related.
I would buy them again but with six pairs in the package, I don't think I'll have to.
I’m a pretty serious gardener and am always in the market for a glove that can outlast and impress me more than these gloves: so far, I haven’t found any.
I like a tight fit on my gloves and usually buy a small because my fingers are short, and my palms are wide. I bought mediums this time around and they were fine too.
These hold up to mud, are thick enough to prune roses and pull thistle weeds, can take the continuous beating of digging up river rock and moving outcropping rocks, tearing up mulch bags... they get wet (not fully waterproof) but they breathe great and don’t irritate my sensitive skin (no rashes!)... I usually clean them by rinsing my pile of nasty gloves in the sink and then I run a scrungy load in the washer with gloves and bath mats. Don’t dry them- just lay on the hot driveway for an out or two and they’re dry!
I first found these latex-dipped gloves when the company provided them while I was a mechanic in a heavy shop. They offered enough dexterity to install small bolts in transmission valve bodies while still offering protection when handling hot torque converters or sharp brake drums. (Did a great job of keeping my hands from looking like mechanic's hands, too - I could come home at the end of the day with clean fingernails after removing a transmission from a dump truck or doing a brake job on a school bus.)
While searching for them on Amazon after I left that job, I found that they're popular for gardening and other home activities as well. I purchased a couple of sets of the gloves for my girlfriend and my mother, and each loved them. This is the 2nd or 3rd year they have both requested them for use during spring planting and gardening. Great Mother's Day gift if your mom likes to work in the yard, or handy to have around the house if you like to change your own oil or rotate your own tires (or if you need to overhaul the transmission in your local city transit bus).
These gloves run a little large...I ordered medium based on some other brand I wear...these are a bit loose in the fingers and I would prefer skin tight...I would order a small if you have a medium sized hand...(I wear a 7 in regular gloves...these are big for a medium)...also, I had hoped for a pink pair...got two orange and two green, one blue and one purple. The add did say assorted colors but showed pink as a possible...oh well...I now have six pairs of quality gloves a bit larger than I want but will gladly use them for my yard work.

Description
The flexible nitrile coating is tougher than rubber, protecting palms and fingertips from the rigors of every day work. Seamless lightweight black nylon knit liner increases comfort while it repels dirt and stains. Ideal for jobs requiring maximum dexterity and freedom of hand movement without the fatigue associated with heavier, bulkier gloves. Machine washable.
These are the best gloves ever! I love them. Just love them. I have tried many gloves over the years and these are the best. I use them for gardening and also for working in a grocery store. I would consider them "light duty" gloves, but they offer ample protection for my uses. They have a cloth backing, It is poly, but it's still breathable. Hands will get sweaty when it's hot out, I just pull them off every now and again to cool them. Rubber fingers and palms. It is a nice thin layer of rubber, so you still have plenty of finger dexterity. Protects from dirt, branches when pruning, boxes, sharp edges, even helps a little with cold. There are no negatives with these gloves. I wear a medium and have rather long hands/fingers. Fit perfect. Love the colors too.
My mom and I love these gloves. They fit well and last a long time that I cannot remember when I last ordered it! We love the colors so we know which one is mine and which one is mom's. We use it till it has holes in the fingers and we wash it after every 5 uses or more depending on how dirty they get or how sweaty it gets depending on the weather. Great buy!
I love these gloves for spring, summer and fall. As a full-time gardener, I find these lightweight gloves perfect for most aspects of my job. The fabric keeps them breathable but the palm and fingertips are dipped in nitrile protecting my hands from most of the everyday wear and tear of my job. Their flexibility means I can wear them while weeding without losing the fine tactile feel that happens with leather gloves. That being said they will only give minimal protection while using pruners or a hand saw so swapping for leather gloves if you will be doing a lot of pruning, may be necessary.
We used these up in the mountains to move a countless number of logs over the course of several days. We got the Medium size gloves--perfect for women (average-size hands) and men (slightly smaller than average-size hands). Even in 80-degree weather, the gloves were very breathable--we wore them for 3-4 hours at a time. We'll be buying more of these. Highly recommend!!
Love these gloves. Can't work with out them in the garden. I bought the 6 pack so it enables me to always have a fresh clean pair. When I'm done gardening for the day I take them off and throw in laundry with my dirty clothes. Hang to dry. I purchase these every other year. I recommend ATLAS NITRILE gloves to every one. There are many nitrile gloves out there and they just aren't the same. I have medium acrylic nails and I never poke thru the ends. I not only garden with these but I use as work gloves when moving bricks, etc. They do not tear or rip.
