The Kent & Stowe Rigger Gloves are designed for gardeners and outdoor enthusiasts who require heavy-duty hand protection during demanding tasks like digging, clearing, and general landscaping. Offering a blend of rugged leather and soft fleece, these gloves provide a high degree of durability and cold-weather comfort, making them a staple for year-round outdoor work. While their robust construction ensures excellent protection, users should note that the thick material may reduce tactile sensitivity for delicate tasks like precise deadheading or seed sowing.

The gloves are water-resistant due to the leather construction but are not fully waterproof, especially if submerged.
No, machine washing can damage the leather and ruin the thermal fleece lining. Surface cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended.
Yes, the robust leather palm and reinforced fingertips provide excellent protection against thorns and sharp garden debris.
While durable, the fleece lining may make them too warm for hot summer days; they are best suited for autumn, winter, and spring.
The gloves should fit snugly enough to hold tools securely, but not so tight that they restrict finger movement or circulation.
Allow the gloves to dry naturally, then gently work the leather with your hands to restore flexibility.
Use a dry, medium-stiff brush to clear out debris from the fingertip seams once the dirt has dried.
Ensure the palm is free of mud and oil; wipe with a slightly damp cloth and let air dry completely.
These gloves are ready for immediate use straight out of the packaging. To maintain the leather's longevity, avoid exposing the gloves to extreme heat, which can cause the material to crack. If the gloves become saturated with water during use, allow them to air dry naturally away from radiators or direct heat sources. To preserve the integrity of the stitching and leather, brush off dried mud with a stiff-bristle brush after every use. Storage should occur in a cool, dry place to prevent mold and leather degradation. The gloves are compatible with most standard garden hand tools, providing a consistent, non-slip contact surface.
