WESTWOOD FOX Ladies/Mens Leather Gardening Gloves Thorn Proof Rigger Garden work gloves, Safety Working Gloves, Premium Quality (Purple, M)

Love these gloves, leather is beautifully soft. This is my second pair as they are great gardening gloves, good for the heavier work whilst still being malleable for weeding. However they are not thorn proof, no gloves are except for the thickest gauntlets . They are a snug fit so no doubling up for when you are tackling thorny hedgerow.

Really impressive. Comfortable and very durable.

Very good gloves overall. I'm in the garden 5 days a week all year round and have put them through their paces... Washed well initially, and eventually started to stiffen and thin and flake off. Good, comfortable fit - they were a bit stiff at first but that didn't last long. Not fully waterproof or fully thorn-proof but better than 99% of the rigger gloves I've had, and perfect with a thinner glove inside. If I hadn't alternated with other gloves I think those would have lasted 2 months or so, but that's actually good, given the intensive use. I think my current pair will fail at the palms before it does at the finger tips, which is very unusual, in a good way, and is testament to good "construction". In the same vein, the velcro cuffs haven't failed either, which is also a nice surprise ( I tend to rip the velcros right out of the gloves within weeks). Will definitely order again as they're overall very good value for money. I would give 5 stars if the "leather" bit washed and weathered a bit better.

Brilliant little pair of gloves. Great fit and comfort

Most heavy-duty leather rigger gloves are built like stiff industrial oven mitts, making it completely impossible to feel what you are doing or handle small hand tools. These Westwood Fox leather gloves offer a refreshing balance, delivering genuine, thorn-proof security without completely deadening your sense of touch. They are tough enough to tame established rose bushes while remaining pliable enough for precise garden maintenance. The Bottom Line Should you buy it? Yes, especially if you need a dedicated heavy-duty pair that bridges the gap between protection and agility. Who This Is For vs. Who Should Skip Who This Is For: Keen gardeners who need robust hand protection against aggressive thorns, brambles, and splintered wood, but still want to feel the handles of their pruning shears. Who Should Skip: Anyone looking for an all-round, lightweight glove for daily tasks like weeding, planting plugs, or washing down outdoor pottery. The Real-World Test I picked these up for my wife, who handles the bulk of our heavy pruning. For lighter tasks, she relies on basic, flexible latex-coated alternatives like the Proganda ultra-grip gloves (which I have reviewed elsewhere). However, when tackling our rose borders, those fabric options offer zero defense against piercing stems. Switching to these leather riggers completely solved the problem; she was able to firmly grip and clear thorny branches without a single prick breaking through, yet she still maintained the fine motor control needed to operate her bypass pruners accurately. Quick Scan Scorecard Thorn Resistance: 5/5 – Thick, premium leather layers that easily deflect sharp rose thorns. Dexterity & Feel: 4/5 – Unusually supple for a rigger glove, allowing for a natural hand closure and tool grip. Fit & Weight: 4.5/5 – The small size fits a woman’s hand perfectly without excessive bulk or empty, floppy fingertips. Breathability: 3/5 – Solid leather naturally runs warmer than woven nylon during sustained physical activity. The standout detail on these gloves is the seam placement around the thumbs and fingertips. On cheap leather work gloves, the internal stitching is thick and sits directly under the nail bed, which pinches your fingers and blisters your skin when you exert pressure on a tool. The stitching here is flat and offset, meaning you can squeeze the handles of heavy loppers all afternoon without the seams digging into your knuckles.

Brilliant gloves they are very comfortable and do the job 👍

These gloves fit amazingly well, very comfortable material inside and definitely thorn-proof. The velcro on the wrists makes them fit very snug and prevents them from slipping off. They look lovely too. As soon as they arrived, I went straight out to trim the roses and had no issues with thorns. Speedy delivery too. Happy customer here.

These gloves are good, but unfortunately run small. I purchased size s, but they are almost 1" too long in the fingers, hence only 3 stars. I will keep them though, as need them for weeding.

Cumplen su función, no me pincho con el rosal, pero tallan muy justas. Compré la L para ir sobrado, y me quedan muy justitas. Yo creo que son de mujer.

Guanti da lavoro in giardino a prova di spine, ottimo prodotto.

Harika bir ürün, çok beğendim, yalnızca her üreticinin eldiven kalıpları farklı olur. Normalde benim kalıbım M ama sadece özel diktirdiğim zaman M kalıbı elime oluyor. Bu markayı bilmediğim için L şipariş verdim, elime tam oldu. Tabi her insanın eli farklı ölçülerdedir, ölçüden emin olmazsanız bir beden büyük alın. Büyük eldiven kullanabilirsiniz ama küçük eldiven kullanamazsınız :)
