The Best Gardening Gloves for 2023

Grab that shovel, spade, or scoop, and get digging with these Wells Lamont cowhide and spandex gardening gloves! We found these gloves well suited to working with shovels, pushing wheelbarrows, and performing other tasks that require a firm grasp.

The leather palm added reinforcement and provided ample padding to keep our hands from blistering, while the spandex helped keep the gloves flexible and snug. The materials are water-resistant, the ventilation helped keep our hands dry and comfortable, and the leather is soft. The only downside we detected was the tangible inside seams, a common issue with leather gloves, but after a brief breaking-in period, the leather seams softened up and were barely noticeable.

The hook-and-loop closure on the wrist is a plus that creates a customized fit while keeping the bugs and dirt out. The gloves feature reinforced fingertips and lightly padded neoprene knuckle inserts for added protection. The gloves run true to size, and they’re just as useful when wet as when dry.
