G'day.

Are there any general-purpose gloves that do the same
job as leather ones, but that are not leather? I.e keep your
hands safe during DIY and garden work?

Thanks,

P.S. "Veggie" means I'm a vegetarian, not a vegetable.
Although opinions differ on this.

===================
Look in B&Q, Focus etc. for bright yellow / orange gloves. They're
rubberised cotton (I think!) and more durable than most gloves. Good for
rough work but not particularly good where a sensitive touch is needed.

I think the sheds charge an arm and leg (well another arm anyway) for these,
as a profit leader. You get virtually the same gloves for 50p at a DIY
stall at a Saturday market that would cost £3 in the high street.
