A rugged full-cowhide glove built for heavy digging, hauling, and abrasive jobs where knit gloves shred; expect durability and protection at the cost of breathability and finger feel.

Pros

  • Full grain cowhide with a reinforced palm patch resists abrasion and punctures far better than knit gloves
  • Keystone thumb and Gunn cut give good hand movement for a heavy leather glove
  • Durable enough to double as a construction, firewood, and fencing glove, not just gardening

Cons

  • Leather runs hot and stiff; it breaks in slowly and is uncomfortable in summer heat
  • No coating means it soaks up water and stiffens after getting wet and drying out
  • Bulk kills fine dexterity, so it is poor for seed sowing or delicate transplanting
