{"product_id":"advanced-performance-gardening-gloves-in-medium","title":"Advanced Performance Glove M8: medium-sized breathable performance gardening gloves with a microfiber palm for maximum dexterity","description":"\u003ch6\u003eFeel first, protection built in\u003c\/h6\u003e Most gardening gloves ask you to choose: grip and protection, or the kind of feel that lets you do delicate work properly. The Advanced Performance Glove M8 is built to avoid that trade-off, using a microfiber palm that keeps you connected to what you're actually handling, while still giving you everyday protection for the bulk of garden work. \u003ch6\u003eThe microfiber and foam palm, explained\u003c\/h6\u003e The palm is made from 98% microfiber with 2% foam, a combination weighted towards sensitivity and precise grip. Microfiber has a fine texture that transmits far more tactile information back to your hand than latex or leather ever could, useful whether you're handling a delicate seedling, adjusting a small fixing, or working with fiddly hardware. The 2% foam content adds just enough cushioning against repeated tool contact without dulling that feel. \u003ch6\u003eBuilt to breathe\u003c\/h6\u003e The back of the hand uses a 98% polyester, 2% elastane blend, chosen specifically for breathability rather than the fully sealed coating you'd find on a latex or waterproof glove. That matters over a longer session, particularly through spring and summer, when a fully coated glove traps heat and sweat far more than an open, stretch-knit back. The elastane content also gives the glove genuine stretch, letting it move with your hand's natural flex rather than working against it. \u003ch6\u003eMaximum dexterity, actually delivered\u003c\/h6\u003e It's easy to print \"maximum dexterity\" on a glove without much behind it, but the construction here genuinely supports the claim. A fine microfiber palm combined with a stretch polyester back keeps the glove close-fitting rather than bunched or stiff at the knuckles, which is what actually lets you tie in a plant, handle seed packets, or make a precise adjustment without the glove getting in the way. \u003ch6\u003eProtection sized for real gardening, not worst-case scenarios\u003c\/h6\u003e This isn't a heavy-duty glove built for thorns or impact, and it isn't trying to be. The microfiber and foam palm gives a sensible buffer against the everyday knocks and abrasion that come with normal garden work, while the breathable back keeps the whole glove light enough to forget you're wearing it. That's the right level of protection for the vast majority of what actually fills a gardening session. \u003ch6\u003eWhere the M8 earns its keep\u003c\/h6\u003e This is the glove for anyone who wants genuine feel alongside sensible protection: propagating, pricking out, handling delicate plants, doing fiddly repairs, or general everyday gardening where a bulkier glove would just get in the way. If your hands spend a lot of time on precise work at the plot, this is built specifically to support that rather than hinder it. \u003ch6\u003eSizing: the medium, and who it suits\u003c\/h6\u003e The M8 measures roughly 22cm in height and 10.5cm in width, sized to suit the majority of adult hands. Because this glove relies on a close, stretch fit to deliver the dexterity it's built for, getting the size right matters more here than with a looser, more forgiving design. If a \"medium\" from other fitted or performance glove ranges has suited you before, the M8 is a sensible first choice. \u003ch6\u003eLooking after your gloves\u003c\/h6\u003e The microfiber palm and polyester and elastane back are generally easier to keep clean than leather or heavily coated gloves, tolerating a gentle hand wash reasonably well. Air dry away from direct heat, since high heat can affect the elastane content and the fit over time.","brand":"Briers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54210351858002,"sku":"5050642088763","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0808\/6260\/9746\/files\/advanced-performance-gardening-gloves-s-m-l-gardening-gloves-4540030-5050642088756-briers-shop-now-at-allotmate-essentials-2539757.jpg?v=1762554783","url":"https:\/\/allotmate-essentials.com\/products\/advanced-performance-gardening-gloves-in-medium","provider":"AllotMate Essentials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
