thorn resistant gloves

[westphalian]

I would imagine welder's gloves would do the job with thorny bushes such as pyracantha?

the PPE thorn/needlestick gloves are five times the price

[Coletti]

You've answered your own question. Welding gauntlets are about the best you'll get, that being said, they still won't stop all of the thorns

Try Ripeur 2 gloves, about £20 ish. I have only ever had one thorn come through and that was when they were soaking wet. Absolutely brilliant gloves.

I was given some lined Arco leather gloves and they stop pretty much everything apart from the most vicious thorns but not enough gets through to do any serious damage.

Going for riper 2 as welders a bit bulky for scratching my arse. Want a refund if no good mind

Another vote for the Ripeur 2's.

 

Had the same pair for a few years now.

 

We call them the 'bastard gloves'.

 

They are a bit clumpy but you can still use a saw with them.

You were the one who put me on to them, mate.

I use Tegera 17 - maybe not quite as puncture proof as the Ripeur ones but a quarter of the price

That will make your feel happier when you're pulling blackthorns out of your hands at night then.

'Get in! I may be in intense pain, but I saved £15!'

Read this before deciding.
