Warm hardwearing gardening glove recommendations?

Tried to do some gardening yesterday and had to come in after 10 mins because I couldn't feel my fingertips. None of my gardening gloves cut it - they're all cheap and mostly nearly or totally worn through in at least 1 fingertip.

Do warm gardening gloves that actually stand up to proper work and don't wear holes nearly straight away exist??

Gold leaf gardening gloves are brilliant. Lots of styles for different jobs. I have had mine for many years.

Watching with interest as I’d like to know too! The best I’ve come up with is to wear a thin pair of normal fleece gloves under some slightly too big garden gloves - not enough dexterity for fiddly work but fine for general garden work

Gold Leaf. Only gloves worth buying.

Ooh, I will check out gold leaf! Ta!

Another alternative is silk glove liners inside your favourite gardening gloves. The warmest solution, though not necessarily the easiest to work in might be neoprene gloves (the stuff wet suits are made of) inside your favourite gardening gloves.

Gold leaf are soft leather - they're OK unless you're working with very wet material. They're not so good when soaked through. They're good for gentle gardening work but they're not totally tough - I wore through a pair doing dry stone walling for a day.

I use leather gloves that are fleece/ wool lined, not gardening gloves just normal pairs I pick up in the charity shop.

Infinitely better.

Hmm interesting. I realised when looking at them that I've borrowed my dms gold leaf gloves, which were great for working with thorns but not great for wet stuff.

Briers do an all weather gardening glove warm and waterproof. I’ve always found them a reliable make.
