Light-ish gardening gauntlet type gloves
 

Last year I bought a pair of gardening gauntlets with leather palms at
a bit over £1 when they were marked down by Woolworths. Having had a
pair of cotton gloves, that cost more than twice as much, from one of
the 'sheds' give at a seam on first use, I needed some light gloves
anyway.

I didn't expect the Woolies ones to last long, but I have instead
found them the best value gloves I have had. They have had fairly
heavy use, but the fact that the leather is 'wrapped round' the whole
of the first finger joint has meant that I have not had the fingertips
wear through at all, although recently the seams in the leather of the
finger that gets most wear finally wore through. I went back for more,
this time at the full price of £2.99 - much less than those
plasticky-coated jersey ones.

This is a genuine recommendation, I am not associated with either
Woolworths or whoever makes or supplies the gloves to them.
