Frequently Asked Questions
What makes FOXGLOVES better than other gloves?
FOXGLOVES are designed for tactile sensitivity and dexterity. FOXGLOVES embrace your hands and fingers with a snug, supportive fit so comfortable you won’t want to take them off! The blend of SUPPLEX® nylon and LYCRA® elastane provides the look and feel of cotton with the strength, water resistance and performance of nylon. FOXGLOVES contain NO LATEX. They are supple and breathable. This easy care fabric wicks moisture away from skin and prevents soil from penetrating, keeping hands, nails and cuticles clean. The longer wrist eliminates the need for a separate clasp and protects against soil and scratches. Machine wash or rinse under the tap when you are done and FOXGLOVES will be fresh and clean, ready for you to wear again and again.
Do FOXGLOVES come in sizes?
Yes! They are available in unisex sizes, small, medium and large. Medium fits most women’s hands best.
How long will FOXGLOVES last?
FOXGLOVES are resilient. Most people find their gloves last at least a whole gardening season. Professional horticulturists have worn the same pair of FOXGLOVES up to three years! It will depend on your style of gardening and the tasks you undertake but it is certain you will be pleasantly surprised.
Will dirt go through the fabric?
The tight knit and brushed surface of the fabric prevents soil from penetrating keeping your hands and nails clean. Even when working in muddy conditions! We suggest that you rinse or machine-wash any soil from your gloves after each use. A clean glove will last longer and perform better.
Are FOXGLOVES waterproof?
FOXGLOVES are not waterproof. They are water resistant and do not absorb or retain water like cotton or leather. Wet or dry Foxgloves will stay snug to your hands.
Are FOXGLOVES thorn proof?
FOXGLOVES are not thorn proof. They are tear resistant and if caught on a thorn or twig they will not rip. They may also be worn under a leather glove as a liner and will help prevent blisters caused by stiff leather seams.
Are FOXGLOVES breathable?
Yes. The fabric is very light and breathable.
How do I clean FOXGLOVES?
Rinse under the faucet for everyday cleaning. We recommend machine-washing to remove ground in soil. Clean gloves will last longer. They dry quickly when hung on the line or machine dry on low heat.
Do FOXGLOVES contain LATEX?
NO. There is no latex in FOXGLOVES. They are a blend of Supplex® nylon and Lycra® elastane, two synthetic fibers developed by DuPont®. FOXGLOVES are breathable and wick away excess moisture.
Do FOXGLOVES offer any protection from harmful rays of the Sun?
Yes. We have had our fabric tested in a university lab. The fabric blend is certified to an Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) of 50+, the maximum rating given. This means that FOXGLOVES offer excellent sun protection.
Why are FOXGLOVES longer than other gloves?
FOXGLOVES were designed with a longer wrist to prevent loose soil from falling into the glove and protect the wrist area against scratches. Most gloves are short with added clasps that obstruct freedom and can be a nuisance.

Yes. Our gloves are unconditionally guaranteed to be free from manufacturer’s defects and faulty workmanship. Within 30 days of purchase if you are not completely satisfied with FOXGLOVES you may exchange them or receive a complete refund, minus shipping and handling costs.
