What gloves do you wear?
Comments (10)Bionic Rose Gloves. They're available at lots of places, but I got mine from the manufacturer's site (link posted). As they are the only gloves I've ever had that I'd actually call comfortable, I'd highly recommend them. They feel wonderful to wear in spite of arthritis and tendonitis problems here. Size note: they tend to run smaller than many of the gloves you might have bought at Home Depot, etc. I ordered mine via the phone to get size advice from the seller, because I had been surprised at the measurement results their site was using to recommend sizes; my measurement was coming out to recommend a "medium" but my hands are quite small, so small that even an ordinary "small" glove size has always been too large, especially in the length of the fingers. Anyway, the size medium fits much better than any gloves I've ever had, and the fingers are only a tiny bit longer than my fingers, not miles too long as is usually the case with a size small of other gloves. So I'd suggest using their own size chart to determine what size of these particular gloves to order ("Sizing Help" on the right side of the page). You are supposed to be able to wash them, and I've done a mild version of that in the kitchen sink. It didn't hurt them a bit.

Comments (28)I wear old jeans and t-shirts unsuitable for anything else. I rarely wear shorts as I cannot stand dirt at the back of my knees. Also always a baseball cap. I try to remember the sunscreen too but sometimes forget. I usually carry a bandana around to wipe my eyes if I get sweaty(which I do ). I wear last years hiking boots on my feet and always with socks. My pruners are clipped to my jeans in a holster, my pocket knife in my pocket and a pencil behind my ear. I try not to lose my gloves but it happens often. In fact I lost my right glove in the front yard and my left in the backyard on Sunnday! My mom came home from dinner and found them. I don't need sunglasses, my bifocals have transition lenses. I also use a kneeling pad for my bad knees. I tried the ones you wear but found the straps to be uncomfortable at the backs of my knees. When I worked landscaping for a living 20 years ago I had several sunscreen shirts. They were pricey but very nice. I have since not only aged but also expanded and they went to the goodwill years ago. My neighbors all think I'm a little off anyway when I'm talking to my flowers or out at the crack of dawn pollinating. So it dosen't really matter how I dress.LOL!

Comments (15)Hi guys. I just wanted to drop my 2 cents on the gardening gloves. My husband buys gloves online from a company called A.S.A. Corp. They are a safety company that sells all types of gloves, safety glasses,etc. They are manufacturers and there prices are much better than Lowes or HD or any other store ive seen. I bought 6 pairs of pig skin gloves with white fleece lining from them. Now I had to call them because they dont list that particular glove but I paid 5.00 for them as compared to $12.00.

Comments (24)I have been using long pants (usually sweats) in the yard for the past 2 summers, and they really help with the mosquitoes (for some reason they go after my legs more than my arms). I haven't found a good shoe type. I don't want to wear boots and sandals do not do the job sometimes. I'll try crocs or something similar also. I recently started using nitrile gloves also. it feels good to be able to walk into the house with mostly clean hands, even though I know some people like working in bare hands. I don't mind but dirt under the finger nails is something I don't think too much about nowadays, after realizing that I am comfortable with the gloves doing yard work....See Morekathyg_in_mi
