I hate getting soil and plant stains lodged in my fingernail beds. Most gardening gloves are so loose at my small wrists, the soil gets in, leaving tough stains on my fingers. These gloves have velcro cuffs I can adjust. The gloves are comfortable yet tough enough to use when handling concrete/stone pavers; the reinforced fingertips last a whole season. I use subscribe and save to get a new pair every 2 months, they’re that good.
