Beautiful and comfortable. Haven’t had a chance to use them yet. But they appear well made.
higarden mid rise gloves
$43.00
higardeners can forget tick anxiety, spider fear, and mosquito bites; they fit snug to keep bugs out. Mid rise is your everyday glove with long cuffs hit at the forearm, not at the wrist like the big box gloves (high rise extends coverage to the elbow). Poison ivy, oak, any irritating plant oil stays on the right side of the glove, and in case of exposure throw them in the washing machine and they'll be good as new.
Courtesy of our four way stretch fabric, her gentle compression is a reassuring barrier without sacrificing sensitivity. Gardeners love the grip palm that gives them incredible traction with tools and stubborn weeds.

performance
what is the glove's weight and texture?
Fabric is peached (yes, soft as peach fuzz, can confirm), so gloves are as comfortable as they are functional. Gloves are light and breathable enough that you forget you have them on.
won't they get dirty?
Hopefully! They will, which is no problem because they're machine washable. The knit is dense and the fibers tightly packed, so soil sits on the surface and brushes off rather than working into the weave.
what is the grip palm about?
Made of medical-grade silicon, the grip palm makes working with tools or with anything slippery easier. For first-hand description on the grip, check out this video review from our favorite flower farmer.
how's the dexterity?
"The Higarden gloves are made with a blend of elastane and Supplex nylon, which is more breathable than standard nylon. They basically feel like high-quality yoga pants for your hands." -Laura Motley, NYT Wirecutter, April 26
size + fit
The secret to our signature fit is twofold; first, is the cut itself. The original patterns were inspired by opera length evening gloves popular in the 1950s. Obviously there is a great story of friendship, sisterhood, and a passion for nature behind this, read more here.
Second, a gentle four-way stretch was developed especially over years, tested and refined over a quarter century of horticultural expertise and gardening glove study.

Hot take: we do not recommend the gloves for extended use in extremely muddy or wet conditions. Although to each their own, some gardeners enjoy a wet pair on a hot day. They are not thornproof. Wear while pruning but please use caution.

from the gardeners
We created a description of the gloves written entirely with quotes from our reviews. We did this for a bit of fun, but it turned out to be very informative.
- Protection comes first. "The dirt does not go through the finger tips- my nails stay clean,"¹ and "my hands don't sweat."² The length covers the wrist "for when those critters try to crawl up your arm"³ and shields "my forearms from touching the plants which make me itch!"⁴ For a gardener with "lots of fire ants and assorted bugs" and sensitive skin, "not exactly a good idea not to wear gloves. These gloves are like so flexible, I hardly know they are there. They are strong and flexible."⁵ In three words: "Thin, cool, & tough."⁶
- Protected hands with dexterity "I can feel each blade of grass through the glove fingertips but my fingers are protected from any injury."⁷ "They fit like a glove which makes it easy to feel plants and roots through them and they protect at the same time."⁸ You can "pick tiny weeds or plant seeds with my gloves on,"⁹ and "I'm finally wearing gloves to garden without pulling them off 10 minutes into the job."¹⁰ One reviewer's test: "I've been able to pick up a coin with no problem."¹¹
- The palm grips do their share. "The grip dots make a huge difference in my ability to hold tools,"¹² and "help my old hands prevent fatigue when holding my gardening tools."¹³ On weeding: "Grab the weed, slide your fingers to the ground and rip the weed out root and all."¹⁴
- They are durable. "Second pair. First ones lasted six years. So great!"¹⁵ Another customer "bought 3 pairs 10 years ago" and "they held up under very heavy landscaping jobs and moving rocks."¹⁶ "After what seems like hundreds of washes, they still come out looking brand new."¹⁷ Care is simple: "It's nice to just put them in the laundry,"¹⁸ or "I wash the gloves as if they were my hands."¹⁹ Soaked through, "they got wet and dried easily in a 30 minutes."²⁰
- The fit is "snug without being tight, almost like a second skin."²¹ And yes, "who knew garden gloves could be chic!? They feel even better than they look."²²
- On price: "Expensive but well worth the price if you love gardening."²³ "You can find less expensive options, but none as happy, well-fitting and washable!"²⁴
- Many arrive as gifts and become gifts: "They were gifted to me and now I buy them to give to others."²⁵
Thank you higardeners for always sharing your feedback, it is very rewarding to hear how the gloves have been part of your stories.

The only gloves I'll wear.
I love these hi garden gloves. I have many other brands in my gardening glove basket which I may give away as I consistently reach for these. Great fit, so comfortable they keep my hands safe and clean.
So Soft…like second skin.
Best gloves ever!!
Foxgloves have been my favorite garden gloves for years. when my latest pairs arrived I was disappointed to see that they were no longer packaged as they had always been. I have yet to use any of the newer pairs, so it remains to be seen if the wearability is the same or not.
Store owner replied: hi wendy, yes we did change the packaging from plastic to the more sustainable recycled paper. the gloves should wind up in the soil so we kept packaging minimal and earth-friendly.
Love these gloves, wish I could get them in black 😉
I like these gloves because they prevent dirt from getting under my fingernails when I garden. I usually wear them under other gardening gloves.
The fabric feels like second skin, I love the padded fingertips especially. They feel so cozy, and keep the mosquitos off of my arms. They got wet and dried easily in a 30 minutes.
I love these gardening gloves! This is my third pair. They last for years, fit comfortably, and allow you to complete tasks that require dexterity while protecting your hands.
Well, I've been gardening for >40 years. These are the best gardening gloves I remember ever having. Things I LoVe about them: Easy on/off wether wet or dry and when wet, I can pull the off easily by the fingers so they're ready for the next task. When they're wet, I have found that they keep me a bit cooler and I can use the back of the glove to wipe the sweat from my face. The nubs on the palm side are great for tedious works. The mid forearm length is PeRfEcT. It's nice to just put them in the laundry for easy clean up. My daughter gardens too and I bought a pair for her. She is as equally thrilled with them. Kudos to HighGarden for making such a fine, quality, and fun to use product that makes me smile 😃
Everyone in my family wears the “grip” style gloves while driving to keep the UV rays off of our hands. We love the gloves but would love them even more if the index fingers had some connectivity to our mobile phones (while not driving).

Love these new gloves! Thin, cool, & tough. I really liked how they go past my wrists - no more mulch, thorns, plant material going inside gloves. I have thistles to pull & of course, they are no match for those beasts...but, I found I coukd slide a leather glove on top of these gloves. So one hand had my new glove plus la eather, thistle-pulling glove & it worked out great!! Love these!
They are so comfortable and protect my forearms from touching the plants which make me itch!
I bought 3 pairs 10 years ago to keep them in various work places. They held up under very heavy landscaping jobs and moving rocks. I love the way they hug my hands and don’t feel like a worn out sock. I especially like the way I can easily grip my hand tools without slipping. I would definitely recommend these gloves!!!
Always a little skeptical ordering unseen items on line but these gloves turned out to be outstanding and even better than expected. They were out of stock on the green gloves in size small so I ordered the bright pink ones. Expensive but well worth the price if you love gardening. After the first use I knew the quality was there and I will return to purchase green at a later date. Do not hesitate to purchase.
Really like the gloves, exactly what I wanted
Been buying and wearing them for years known as Foxgloves. Tracked them down to you. Love them! They are hand savers, wear forever and pretty enough to wear for dressy occasions. New and clean of course!
These fit beautifully, soft and i love the grip.
They make you feel like you are not wearing gloves and naturally gardening but not sacrificing protection. I love them and have been using for years!
I have had a pair for two years and love them. I ordered two more after I found who was selling them. I love you can wash them after they become dirty. First gloves that my fingernails haven’t broken through the tips. A little pricey but worth the money.
Love these gloves, they are soft and fits very snugly.
This is my second hat. I purchased my 1st one 3 years ago & it is still going strong & just a tad faded. It is has been so great to wear when I am outside working in the garden. It's flexible, light & comfortable. The brim is the perfect size for shading my face from the sun as opposed to others that are either too big or too small. It packs up easily in a suitcase to take for hiking excursions. It's also easy to hand wash & hang outside to dry. I bought this 2nd one for travel. Love the color!
Store owner replied: thank you for such a thoughtful review, Susan. the hats love you back!! We've got new colors coming in August so keep a lookout <3
I don't have a traditional garde, I am establishing a wildlife habitat and need to be able to tease an interloper alien weed away from my native plants. These Higarden gloves are perfect for this work. They fit beautifully and are a delight to wear.
Pondside loves the garden hats and we receive many complements on them!
Best garden gloves ever! Absolutely love them. They feel great and the pink ones are a super cool color. Finally gloves I don’t mind wearing
Store owner replied: Yay Shaleen!! We are thrilled for you and that gorgeous zinnia!
Second pair. First ones lasted six years. So great!
The gloves are beautiful, high quality and worth the cost. Excellent customer service!
They are similar to the foxgloves I bought a few years ago and loved. These are the same quality, but not as long as the older ones.
Store owner replied: Believe it or not, it's the same glove! Foxgloves became higarden in January when the owners retired. We haven't made any changes to the design or fit.
I first bought a pair of these gloves from Lee Valley here in Canada. It was alive at first wear. I dramatically lost them at the beginning of this gardening season. The pair I lost was a size medium and the set I bought was in large. I think I would have loved a size medium and a half ahah but they are wonderful no matter what. Unmatched quality and comfort. By far.
Love these gloves! Perfect for detail weeding when one needs all the dexterity one can get.
Absolutely love these gloves! Worth every penny. My forearms were getting a bit itchy with all the weeding I was doing and these have saved the day! Thank you, will be ordering more!
Best fit, great color, so happy to have found these gloves.
I love these gloves. Despite the risks, I usually go without gloves because I can't feel fragile oak roots and other things in the ground with standard gardening gloves, but I finally found a pair that is perfect for my needs! I'd buy some for my mom, but she would say that they're too pretty to use :)
Who knew garden gloves could be chic!? They feel even better than they look, I love them!
I have been wearing these gloves gardening for years and love them!
So far these gloves are the best I've had. Comfortable and functional. First day with them so i don't know how long lasting yet. I do heavy duty garden work.
These are very nice gloves, but they are not really thick enough for the work I do in my garden. I miss the gauntlet gloves that Foxgloves used to sell.
Best gardening gloves I’ve ever owned! Everything you’ve ever hoped for in a gardening glove. They were gifted to me and now I buy them to give to others. Adelaide Moran Wehpittituck Farm
