I have had a real time of it with gloves over the years!!!
I really only wear them in winter nowadays and my current preference are cheap rubber gloves with a soft cotton washable liner underneath on the really cold days, or the lined rubber gloves from the supermarket.
I have gone through countless pairs of Unger gloves, Sealskins (regular and kevlar reinforced) Gul gloves, rubber gloves, lined gauntlets, cycling gloves etc etc.
The problem is you do need a waterproof glove otherwise they are horrible to put on again and get smelly in days, which rules out most gloves. The gul gloves were the worst for this as once wet they would dry out hard and I went through them in days(£12.00 ish a pair) The Sealskins were the best but I would go through two pairs over the winter and at £20 a pop very expensive. Unger neoprene gloves also wear too quickly due to the lack of palm protection.
I think its the curling up of your pole hoses that does the damage as I use a cloth over my microbore when winding it in, and the wear is always over the top of your hand between the thumb and first finger.
I have found that cheap, lined disposable gloves are the most cost effective. You can get them at the supermarket for pence and just throw them out when they wear or get smelly.
Open cuts and wfp dont mix as Wayne as found out. There are many organisms found in the average garden that can cause us real problems. Always make sure your Tetanus jabs are up to date and wash your hands regularly and cover open cuts. I also carry a tube of antibacterial hand lotion for use before I eat.
Wayne get well soon mate
