Since they’re made from a breathable bamboo material, the gloves are designed to absorb sweat and keep your hands cool while you dig into the earth. But what makes them stand out is the snug yet comfortable fit that feels “like a second skin,” according to shoppers.

“These are so form-fitting and flexible that I can tie my shoes while I'm wearing them,” said one. “They are simply the best gardening gloves I've ever used, good for weeding, digging, raking, and pruning. For bramble handling you might need leather, but that is the only exception I can think of!”
