SHOWA370 'Stretch Nylon Work Gloves

Show 370 gloves are brilliant for gardening and I wouldn't use any others. However the only reason I haven't given the product 5 stars is that the Assembly Grip Gloves are NOT exactly the same as the Floreo if you are looking for a bargain (even though the product number is the same, and even though I've read reviews on other sites that say they are exactly the same). For years I've had the Floreo and they are a bit more expensive. I'd thought it was because they came in different colours (rather than the white only of the Assembly Grip) but in fact the cuff is slightly longer which gives your wrists more coverage and the nitrile palm has a slightly different surface. BUT they are still excellent and last for years through umpteen washes. I would still recommend them highly. These are very good value and the delivery service was great.

I saw these being recommended in a recent Gardening Which magazine. They are very useful gloves indeed. They give you excellent protection, while retaining very good, fine manipulation and sensitivity. They leave your skin in very good order. They seem very tough, are easily washable, and look as though they will go on for ever.My only criticism is that they are are a little short on the wrist; this doesn't matter very much, except you may lose protection against insect bites perhaps.Maybe Showa do a longer type? I must check this out.But... all in all a great boon for the gardener. They are also available in black, which might be more useful.

I work as a gardener and in the 20years I have worked these are by far the best gloves I have come upon. I wouldn't wear them for pruning the Rose's but for every other job in the garden, I would. They fit like a second skin and so hard wearing.

Lovely gloves for site work not to thick but not to thin they get holey within one day.

Long lasting comfort and very durable.

I bought these after seeing a professional gardener feature in one of the magazines. I'm delighted with them and can use them for most jobs in the garden, including picking gooseberries. Even on a hot day, my hands feel comfortable inside and don't sweat. I'm going to get some more for my daughters.

My wife does most of the skilled gardening, leaving me to hack and chop. The result is that she needs comfortable gloves that provide protection without reducing sensitivity or the ability to feel what she's doing.Until we found Showa, the only gloves that met these requirements fully cost well over £16, so we got them once a year, and put up with inferior gloves for most of the time. But since the Showa gloves are 95% as good, for 35% of the price, it's no longer necessary to compromise. We spend no more, but have good gloves all year round.

I have been wearing showa garden gloves for 3 years now. I find it hard to imagine why anyone can find fault. The backs are cotton they do not make your hands sweat and what is more they are washable.The people who remark about them not being thorn proof, should buy the correct product for that job (SHOWA also do the a heavier duty glove). My husband uses them for lifting things so that his grip doesn't slip.All my friends have taken to purchasing them after seeing me use them, they are extremely impressive!Thank you Showa!!
