Briers Cherry Gauntlet Long Sleeve Leather Gardening Utility Gloves - Medium 8

These gloves are primarily designed for protection and dexterity. They do not offer significant insulation and may not be warm enough for gardening in freezing temperatures. Layering with thin liner gloves might be an option for moderate cold.

A medium size typically fits a hand circumference of approximately 7-8 inches (18-20 cm). It is best to measure your hand and compare it to the brand's sizing chart if available, or try them on if possible.

While designed for gardening, their durability and protection might make them suitable for other light outdoor manual tasks where hand protection is needed. However, they are not intended for heavy-duty industrial use.

Conditioning frequency depends on use and climate. If the leather feels dry or stiff, or after significant exposure to water, it's a good time to condition. Generally, a few times a season might suffice for regular users.

No, these leather gloves are not machine washable. Washing can damage the leather and compromise its softness and water-resistant properties. Clean them by hand with a damp cloth.

Thorn resistant means the material offers a higher level of protection against punctures from sharp thorns compared to standard fabric gloves. It significantly reduces the risk of scratches and pricks.

This can happen if leather dries out. Gently condition the leather with a suitable leather conditioner. Ensure they were air-dried away from heat.

Inspect the stitching carefully. Minor fraying may not affect functionality, but significant unraveling should be addressed by a professional or considered for replacement.

While water-resistant, prolonged submersion may allow some moisture. Ensure gloves are dried thoroughly after wet use. Consider reapplying a leather protector if the water resistance seems diminished.
