COOLJOB Thorn Proof Rose Pruning Garden Gloves for Men, Long Sleeve Padded Yard Work for Bush, Blackberry, Cactus, Heavy Duty/Puncture Resistant/Machine Washable, Medium, Green

Working in my yard is not only easier but less painful with these gloves. I like the fact that they are thorn resistant and are long enough to protect my arms not only from thorns but from insect bites as well! In addition, the sun’s burning rays are unsuccessful at doing damage to my forearms. They say for “men” but they’re comfortable enough for women too. My only concern is that they look so nice that I’m afraid I’ll get them dirty! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Excellent quality and right sizing. Ordered XL men’s size and fit my father’s large, arthritic knuckles very well. He uses these for thorny and tough jobs such as pruning prickly bushes and chipping tree branches. Protects his hands from scratches, cuts, poison ivy and more.

these work really well, did not let thorns from wild blackberry vines through and stayed in place over my forearms. great product!

I live in the Seattle area where blackberries are the bane of my existence. I bought these gloves to protect myself from the insanely sharp blackberry thorns and to cover my wrists as well. They are are not puncture proof, but I don’t know anything that can prevent the needle like thorns of a blackberry from puncturing it. They do a good job though and I would recommend for anyone going to war with blackberries or similar thorny nuisances.

Gloves are well made and very protective.

Fit was perfect (L) for my hands and forearm length. No heavy duty pruning yet, but great so far, offers good protection.

I bought these for pruning palms, which have thorns like sewing needles. Protection is needed particularly when having to reach between the multiple trunks of pygmy date palms. My previous, similar pair of gauntlet-style pruning gloves worked well for that purpose, but they needed replaced and identical new ones are no longer available. Pros of these gloves - they provide some protection and prevent most (but not all) thorns from getting through. I would not call them "heavy duty" as stated in the listing, more so light or medium duty. I have large hands and sometimes have trouble finding gloves that fit, but the XL size of these gloves fits well, at least the hand part of the glove. The forearm protector? Not so much. Which brings us to the con - the forearm protection part of the gloves is far too short and tight for XL size gloves, as if the upper half of much smaller gloves was sewn onto an XL pair. I looked again at the listing, and about halfway down the page it shows the dimensions of the gloves including the forearm protectors. Oddly enough, it shows that the forearm guard on the XL gloves is actually smaller than on the "L - Pro" size (there is no "L - Pro" listed on the sizes available for purchase). Note to the manufacturer - generally when someone has bigger hands, they also have thicker, longer forearms. As opposed to my previous pair of pruning gloves, these come up only about halfway to my elbows and are very tight around my forearms.

These gloves are awesome! Just used them this past weekend without one nasty weed or thorn poking through the gloves…I will be buying more.

They fit well and seem well manufactured

These are VERY good. We have a lot of brambles at the back of our garden and this is the first pair of gloves that have really allowed me to handle them comfortably. Occasionally you will feel a spike, but sufficiently protective to not be a problem. Will buy again. Note the size comes up a little small, so maybe order a size up.

Regularly deal with trimming/removing blackberry bushes from the property perimeter. After years of scratched arms, even with long sleeves and using thick winter gloves to protect hands, I was ready to take the plunge and buy arm length protective sleeves. Then I found these - and they are great. I have worn them on a warm day with only a t-shirt and emerged scratch free. You will get the occasional "ouch" through a finger if handling large, extra thorny branches but I found they offered enough protection to avoid bleeding and cuts. More an "ouch" of surprise than genuine injury. Would certainly recommend, especially at this price point. IMPORTANT - suggest ordering a size up as others recommended. I wear a M size and ordered the L which fits fine.

Bought to cut done invasive blackberry bushes and very happy with purchase, the odd one gets through but well worth the money

These gloves are excellent when working on my roses in my yard.
