Bionic ReliefGrip Premium Leather Gardening Gloves

I was first introduced to Bionic gloves eight years ago when the sales person told me these could be used not only for outdoor yard work, but would also to provide hand support even when a person was vacuuming or sweeping in the house. The support would especially help people like me who had arthritis in our hands. I bought a pair and have never looked back: these gloves are amazing. Supportive, protective, flexible and comfortable, these amazing gloves are such an improvement over the stiff and ill-fitting gloves that you typically find in stores. They are worth every penny. This purchase was for my third pair. It is not that they wear out: I just want several pairs so I always have one handy wherever I am working.

Before discovering these, I wore deerskin or goatskin gloves, because cow leather gloves are relatively stiff and thick, and hurt my knuckles whenever I bent my fingers. But the deer/goatskin gloves are so tender, I couldn't use them for yard work and gardening or I would wear them out in two months.These bionic gloves have insets at the finger joints and other "bendy" places that allow me to grip something tightly without feeling pain from constricting material. When I first looked at them, I was worried that the insets wouldn't be thick enough to protect the knuckles on my fingers, but I have never had a moment of pain. The wrist velcro tightens enough to keep dirt particles out, even if you have a very small wrist. If the gloves get wet, I am able to continue working comfortably until the job is done - and I have NEVER been able to say that about another pair of gloves. As another person mentioned, once they dry, they are a tad stiff but loosen up almost immediately once you put them on again. (Try that with regular cow leather gloves, ha.)I agree with the reviewers who said these can be used for any task, whether it's yard work, handling wood, home repairs, etc. These are now the only gloves I use, regardless of what I'm doing. The reinforced fingertips are excellent since that's where I usually get the most wear on my gloves. I typically get about 2 years out of each pair, but could probably keep them a little longer. In fact, when I get a new pair, I don't throw the older ones away, I use them for dirty jobs until they truly have holes in them.After trying the regular bionic gloves, I also bought a pair of the long ones for rose gardening. I like them too, but would love it if the cuffs were even longer than they already are.

These gloves were recommended to me by my occupational therapist. They're very sturdy and work great for gardening. This is my second pair and the first pair lasted well over a year even with daily use. My only complaint is that they run a bit small. With time they do stretch a little but at first they were a little uncomfortable. This time I got a larger size and they were still a bit tight at first but fit better.

I use gloves for everything from gardening, home improvement, moving rock, to woodworking and it's tough to find a pair in women's sizes that aren't some lightweight cotton flimsy thing for digging around in a flowerbed, or a polar opposite of big clumsy leather gloves that are only good for heavy lifting.These gloves offer incredible protection while still allowing great dexterity and the ability to pick up small items. They are sturdy and hold up to even the roughest work I do including moving big chunks of heavy and sharp basalt rock.I've gone through three pairs of these in three years, which is much better than any other glove I've owned. The fail point is always the tip of the index finger, probably due to grubbing around in gravel pulling weeds. The rest of the glove is just fine so I do still use older pairs and have yet to see any other failure points show up.Highly recommended!

I heard about bionic gloves from an orthopedic doctor who said some of his patients highly recommended them. So, my husband and I both started using these gloves and find them very comfortable to use. I especially find they help me do various gardening chores despite moderate arthritis pain. My husband uses his for various yard & household jobs. The problem is that by the end of season we are both duct taping the fingers where the stitching starts to come apart. For the cost of these gloves, they should last much longer than one season or one year. I have gloves far less expensive than these that take as much abuse and are not falling apart like these do. I recently purchased another pair for both my husband and myself but if they fall apart again, as much as I like them, I’ll be shopping for something that will be as comfortable and last longer. Will return to update this review later.

These are the only gloves that stand up to my rose pruning chores and other garden jobs. They're comfortable and when they get muddy I wash them, let them air dry and they're good for another year. The velcro band around the wrist keeps dirt from getting inside the gloves. These gloves are designed for hard working gardeners with multiple outdoor chores. Sometimes other brands have longer fingers but these fit my shorter fingers perfectly. They run small. Although I normally wear a small in gloves I order these in a medium. They're also the only gardening gloves I have ever used that don't wear out on one hand before the other!

After using the manufactures suggestions on sizing, I ordered the medium. I couldn't even get the gloves past my knuckles. They are SO SMALL. I am not a large woman, nor do I have monster hands. I tried replacing these with an XL after seeing different measurement instructions on the packaging, and the XL was also TOO SMALL!! All my gardening gloves have been mediums, but not to fit into an XL is ridiculous. If you want some expensive work gloves for you kids, maybe these would work. Bionix used to make great gloves... too bad. I'll have to find another brand.
