Bellingham Gauntlet Gloves

These gloves are designed to be highly thorn-resistant, meaning they will protect you from most standard garden thorns like roses or brambles. However, no glove is completely puncture-proof against heavy-duty, long-needle thorns or industrial-grade hazards, so caution is still advised when handling extremely sharp vegetation.

While the cowhide palm is thick enough to stop thorns, it is supple enough to allow for decent hand movement. You will have enough dexterity to handle basic gardening tools and pull weeds, though they may feel slightly stiff during the first few uses before the leather breaks in.

The canvas gauntlet is designed to sit loosely over your forearms, providing a barrier against scratches. It is not elasticized, so it will not grip your skin tightly, but it is structured enough to stay in place while you are actively working.

Because these gloves feature genuine cowhide leather, they should not be machine washed, as this can dry out and crack the material. If they get muddy, it is best to let the mud dry and brush it off, or spot-clean the canvas portion with a damp cloth.

These are built for heavy-duty tasks. The combination of the reinforced palm and the extended gauntlet makes them well-suited for clearing brush, pruning thick hedges, and handling rough materials that would easily tear through standard cotton or thin synthetic gardening gloves.
