Garden Top gardening gloves provide a secure grip and excellent comfort thanks to the 3/4 latex coating, which ensures effective adhesion on both dry and wet surfaces. The partial coating protects against liquids while maintaining flexibility and breathability on the back of the hand, making them ideal for dynamic outdoor work.
The gardening gloves feature a 13-gauge polyester lining, soft, elastic and seamless, ensuring dexterity and a comfortable fit, while the knitted wrist prevents the entry of dirt and debris.
Garden Top work gloves are designed for agricultural and gardening activities, and are also suitable for material handling as well as plumbing and thermo-hydraulic work.

Materials
Polyester
A lightweight and durable synthetic fiber used to ensure good durability, comfort, and breathability. It offers excellent dexterity, maintains its shape over time, and is ideal for general-purpose tasks and prolonged use.
It provides high resistance to tears and abrasions while absorbing very little moisture, keeping hands dry and comfortable. Its structure allows for breathability and quick drying, making the gloves practical and easy to wash. Additionally, polyester is ideal for pairing with protective coatings to enhance grip and safety.
Latex coating
Latex is an elastic and resilient natural rubber, widely used in work gloves for its combination of flexibility, comfort, and protection. It ensures excellent grip and tactile sensitivity, allowing for precise movements even in detailed work. Latex offers good resistance to tears, light abrasions, and everyday wear. Furthermore, it is waterproof, protecting hands from water, dust, and light substances. Its natural elasticity makes it easy to don, adapting to the shape of the hand for an optimal fit.
Performance
Garden
Gloves designed for gardening and green maintenance activities, offering protection during tasks such as pruning, transplanting, sowing and soil handling.
Protection against mechanical risks
Gloves that protect against mechanical risks according to EN 388 +A1, evaluated through resistance tests for abrasion, blade cut, tear, puncture and cut according to the ISO method (TDM).
EN 388:2016 STANDARD

Sizes and colors
Gauge
EN 388:2016 standard classifies protective gloves according to their resistance against mechanical risks. The resistance against ABRASION - CUT - TEAR - PERFORATION must appear in the pictogram relating to the standard. The revision of the previous standard (EN 388:2003) has made changes to the test procedures, especially for the CUT test, including an additional test.
Test performed to provide an indication about the cut protection. The test is performed using a circular blade that moves on the surface of the gloves with a 5 newton pressure (Coup Test). The evaluation, from 1 to 5, is measured by calculating the number of cycles until the moment in which the blade penetrates the fabric.
For high cut resistance gloves (Coup Test 4 o 5) an additional test (EN ISO 13997) is carried out with a straight blade from which the force required to penetrate the fabric is detected. The value is expressed from A to F (F is the highest value).
The glove cuff is available in 5 different colors for quick and easy identification of available sizes:
- Yellow size 7
- Black size 8
- Orange size 9
- Grey size 10
- Brown size 11
The gauge represents the fineness of the knit used to create the glove’s fabric lining. It is a fundamental parameter in determining the dexterity, comfort, and protection level of the glove. The higher the gauge, the finer and more compact the knit.
The gauge directly impacts three key aspects: dexterity, comfort, and resistance.
HIGH GAUGES: 15G > 18G
- Characterized by a very thin and lightweight knit, offering high tactile sensitivity and superior ergonomics. Ideal for precision
work, assembly, electronics, and handling small components.
MEDIUM GAUGES: 10G > 13G
- Offer an optimal balance between protection, flexibility, and durability. Suitable for logistics, maintenance, light industry,
construction, and general-purpose applications.
LOW GAUGES: 7G > 9G
- Characterized by a thicker and more robust knit, designed for heavy-duty use requiring greater mechanical resistance, such as
construction, carpentry, and heavy material handling.
The choice of gauge enables identification of the highestperforming KAPRIOL glove for each activity, optimizing comfort, safety, and dexterity.
In this catalogue, it serves as an essential indicator to guide the customer toward the most appropriate technical solution.
