Is this glove waterproof? (good for gardening?)

No, the "kevlar" material is woven, only the palm/grip front is sealed the back is not. Workman's glove for cut resistance not good for gardening, you can get poked on the back of the hands.

Palms are waterproof. Extremely HOT!! Could not wear them long enough to accomplish what I needed to do. Would be great for gardening...if you are quick about it.

I would think so - they are mostly covered with a rubber coating on the palms at least.Get them one size larger than normal, if possible ... they get sweaty easy if tight.otherwise, have been great for working in the garden and doing auto repairs

They might. They are snug without being constricting. In the garden the material, though sturdy, is thin enough for exacting work. You might also consider the gloves which are "fingerless," from about the knuckle to the tip of the finger.

It won't stop thin sharp objects from penetrating mesh. The glove is only for cut protection not for anything else. There are gloves with penetration protection as well as cut protection but this is not one of them. This glove is made of steel mesh in order to be flexible, the holes in the mesh are very small but not foolproof.

They will keep your hands relatively dry. I work outdoors in the Northwest so I am outside in the rain. Mine leak just a little but the biggest problem is if your hands sweat it can't breathe and your hands get wet with sweat. In moderate temps, 40-50, they still keep your hands warm. Below freezing my hands don't sweat and they keep my hands fairly warm if I am active with my hands. If I am just out walking the dog or out for a long period of time my hands get cold. I have tried two other brands of neoprene gloves and like these the best. One pair didn't hold up. The other pair doesn't fit well. They will keep your hands relatively dry.

Thank You All for your wonderful response's! A comment to R. Cheatham..yes I did measure around the palm not including the thumb. I should have been more clear when writing my question - OOOPS! I haven't ever purchased gardening or any other glove online before - in store's only and don't have any of my gardening gloves left to check on a size...forget memory...LOL. I would really like to try these gloves they sound like they would be a dream to use. Thank You All Again

As you can see from the pictures the glove material is medium thickness, with some compression. They offer some warmth and I believe would protect skin from accidentally bumping your hand lightly which might otherwise abrade your skin. No protection from heavy contact, the kind which would cause bruise. Definitely worth trying.

I don't know about the gloves being good with brick handling. I use these gloves to work in my yard weeding and cutting plant growths.

Closest thing I've done is using a snowblower, gloves didn't lose flexibility, kept my hands dry but I was only out in -10 degree for about 30 to 45 mins. Hand still got cold but if you worked in cold weather you know that happens.

Hi Andrew. This is a glove that anybody can use. I bought it to play the infield but it was actually a little bit too big for the infield, for me anyway, and I have a big hand. So I used it to play the outfield, first base, and pitch. Once you break it in it has a very nice feel to it. Good luck.

Yes the back of the glove would get wet it is made of a mesh material, the front of the glove is rubber so water would not penetrate it. Hope this helps, this is the best groomer I have ever used.

Hard to say. You will probably be better off with rubber garden gloves or those leather ones construction guys wear.

I'm not sure. To be safe, I'd wash them by hand with dish detergent to get off the dirt and mud and air dry. My granddaughters loved these gloves as they like to come over and help me garden.

I would say so. They're really waterproof. The only inconvenient is that if they're getting wet inside they'll stay wet for a long time. I think you can wear a pair of thinner gloves underneath if you often have to take the hand out of the glove.

Sorry ...Could not say for sure....gloves were heavy duty but given as a gift so I have no experience with them on a first hand basis

The gloves are especially warm on their own. They are great because they are waterproof so your hands will not get wet. They should be find for what you say you want them for, except the small containers will be dependent on what size you get. If they are too big, then they are harder to use to do anything.

The gloves are not waterproof. They may protect you from a splash but definitely would not work for submersion.

I'm not the best person to answer this question because I don't use gloves when I practice yoga. However I'd hazard a guess and say no because it offers no protection for your palms.
