our signature elbow length fit, inspired by the opera
Our search for a secure, supportive gardening glove led us to surprising inspiration: dress gloves from the 1950s. They rolled way up, fit snugly yet comfortably, and kept fingers useful. We paired those vintage characteristics with high-tech fabric to create higarden's signature form fit.
"I suggest wearing them to get the mail."
For gardeners who want coverage beyond the wrist, higarden high-rise gardening gloves extend protection up the forearm—helping reduce contact with irritants like poison ivy, minimize sun exposure, and create a barrier against ticks and debris.
Lightweight, breathable, and designed for sensitive skin, these long gardening gloves offer full mobility while protecting the areas bizarrely overlooked by Big Glove.

why high-rise gloves
Most gardening gloves stop at the wrist. Ours don’t.
high-rise sleeves extend toward the elbow to help limit exposure to:
- poison ivy and other skin irritants
- ticks and other insects that bug you
- pollen and allergens (also a nice soft place to dab one's nose)
- sun exposure during long hours outdoors amongst the trees
built for sensitive skin, sun, and real conditions
Made from soft, breathable Supplex® nylon with four-way stretch, these long gardening gloves are smooth against the skin, quick-drying, and UPF 50+. The extended sleeve adds coverage where it matters most—ideal for gardeners dealing with allergies, irritation, or frequent exposure to plants and insects. Designed for dexterity and durability, they’re machine washable and built to be worn all season.
