This one is built to feel like your own hand. The Advanced Performance Glove S7 uses a microfiber palm rather than latex or leather, giving you a level of tactile feedback that heavier gloves simply can't match, without giving up the protection you still need for everyday garden work. \u003ch6\u003eWhat the microfiber and foam palm actually does\u003c\/h6\u003e The palm is made from 98% microfiber with 2% foam, a combination that prioritises sensitivity and grip in equal measure. Microfiber has a fine, close texture that lets you feel exactly what you're holding, whether that's a delicate seedling, a small screw for a trellis repair, or the handle of a precision tool. The small amount of foam adds just enough cushioning to soften repeated contact against tool handles, without dulling that tactile feel the way a thicker padded palm would. \u003ch6\u003eBreathable by design\u003c\/h6\u003e The back of the hand is made from 98% polyester with 2% elastane, chosen specifically for breathability. Unlike a fully coated glove, this construction lets air move properly across the back of your hand, which matters over a longer session, particularly in warmer weather when a fully sealed glove can quickly become uncomfortably sweaty. The elastane content adds stretch, so the glove moves with your hand's natural flex rather than resisting it. \u003ch6\u003eMaximum dexterity, properly delivered\u003c\/h6\u003e \"Maximum dexterity\" is one of those phrases that's easy to print on a label and harder to actually deliver, but the construction here backs it up. The combination of a fine microfiber palm and a stretch polyester back means the glove keeps a close, second-skin fit rather than bunching or stiffening at the knuckles. That translates directly into being able to do fiddly jobs, tying in a plant, adjusting a small fixing, handling seed packets, without the glove getting in the way or needing to come off. \u003ch6\u003eComplete protection, without the bulk\u003c\/h6\u003e Despite the emphasis on feel and dexterity, this is still built as a protective glove for genuine garden use, not a delicate indoor accessory. The combination of the microfiber and foam palm gives a reasonable buffer against everyday knocks, scrapes, and the general wear of handling tools and garden materials, while the breathable back keeps the whole glove light enough that you forget you're wearing it. This is protection sized for the reality of most gardening, not the worst-case scenario. \u003ch6\u003eWhere the S7 earns its keep\u003c\/h6\u003e This is the glove for anyone who values feel and precision as much as protection: propagating and pricking out, handling delicate plants, doing fiddly repairs, or any task where a thicker glove would cost you accuracy. It's equally suited to general everyday gardening where you want something protective but don't want the bulk or sweatiness of a heavier glove. If your hands do a lot of precise work at the plot, this is built specifically around that. \u003ch6\u003eSizing: the S7, and who it suits\u003c\/h6\u003e The S7 measures roughly 21.5cm in height and 10.5cm in width, sized for smaller or narrower hands. Because this glove relies on a close, stretch fit to deliver its dexterity, getting the size right matters more here than it does with a looser, more forgiving design. If you've found \"small\" in other performance or fitted glove ranges suits you well, the S7 is a safe starting point. \u003ch6\u003eLooking after your gloves\u003c\/h6\u003e The microfiber palm and polyester and elastane back are generally easier to keep clean than a leather or heavily coated glove, tolerating a gentle hand wash reasonably well. Air dry away from direct heat to keep the stretch and fit performing as it should, since high heat can affect the elastane content over time.","brand":"Briers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54210347958610,"sku":"5050642088756","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"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-small","provider":"AllotMate Essentials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
