ATG GLOVES
How often have you heard gardeners say they don’t like to wear gloves when working in the garden and in particular when planting, as they like to feel the soil. With some gloves, this is completely understandable. They tend to be bulky and cumbersome, with little dexterity and very little tactile sensitivity. If that wasn’t bad enough, they are sometimes made using compounds and coatings that are not only harmful to the skin but made in a way that isn’t kind to the planet either.
That is where ATG gloves differ. Made with a simple philosophy at heart - Comfort, Performance and Cleanliness, they offer the wearer the protection they need, but in a glove that is kinder to the skin and the environment.
At ATG they understand that the primary concern of any glove wearer is comfort. The hand is made up of over 3,000 individual touch receptors and while a traditional cut and sewn glove will offer protection to the hand, it will just inhibit its ability to move and feel what is being held. The lack of dexterity will also mean that more force needs to be applied to hold common garden tools, increasing fatigue and strain on the hand. ATG gloves use the latest in seamless knitting and dipping technology to deliver a second skin feel, while the super thin coating offers more grip with less force exerted, while still being extremely durable.
All ATG gloves are washed prior to packing in water that is rain harvested and treated in their own water recycling facility, meaning that their gloves truly are fresh from the pack. They are then independently certified as skin friendly by the Skin Health Alliance and are the only gloves for gardening to have this accreditation. ATG gloves can all be washed between uses and are certified to retain their mechanical protection properties, meaning they last longer and need replacing less often. ATG take great care in ensuring their gloves are not only kind to the skin, but gentle on the environment as well.
With a number of styles available for a variety of uses around the home and garden, ATG Gloves are available from all leading garden centres, hardware and DIY stores nationwide.
