Not winter cold — proper winter gloves handle that. Not summer warmth — light cotton handles that. It's the in-between days. The damp May morning where the dew hasn't lifted by 11. The September afternoon after a passing shower. The October potting-shed work where everything you touch is faintly wet. Lightweight gloves get soaked; heavy winter gloves are uncomfortable. These are the answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA latex-coated palm gives proper grip on damp surfaces — wet foliage, soaking compost, dewy stems, slick tool handles — while the lightweight stretch-fit body keeps the dexterity you need for everyday garden work.
