St Helens Gardening Gloves are designed for both professional landscapers and weekend hobbyist gardeners who need a reliable barrier against dirt and abrasions. These gloves excel at providing a secure hold on hand tools through a specialized non-slip latex coating while maintaining high tactile dexterity for delicate planting tasks. While they offer excellent grip and protection, the latex construction may not be suitable for those with known latex allergies, and they perform best in light-to-moderate gardening conditions rather than heavy-duty construction work.

They offer good general protection, but for heavy thorns, additional caution is recommended as the latex coating is designed primarily for grip rather than puncture resistance.
No, these are intended specifically for gardening use and are not certified for food contact.
St Helens gloves are designed with a standard fit; refer to the sizing chart on the product packaging to match your palm width and finger length.
A mild scent of latex is normal for this material. Regular washing in cool water with a mild detergent will help minimize any odor buildup.
The palm area is water-resistant due to the latex coating, but the back of the glove is typically breathable, meaning they are not fully waterproof.
Ensure you are using a gentle, low-temperature cycle and avoid fabric softeners, which can leave a residue on the latex coating.
Check if the gloves are being used on abrasive surfaces like rough concrete or sharp wire; these gloves are optimized for soil and vegetation work.
Check for debris trapped inside the cuff lining that may be preventing a tight seal; wash and dry completely to restore elasticity.
Getting started with your St Helens Gardening Gloves is straightforward; simply pull them on, ensuring the elasticated cuff is positioned comfortably around your wrist to create the debris barrier. For care, keep them stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent the latex from becoming brittle. When they become soiled, machine wash them on a gentle, low-temperature cycle. Avoid using high-heat tumble drying, as extreme heat can compromise the integrity of the latex grip and the elasticity of the wrist cuff.
