Gloves for Handling Cactus

Description

Cactus spines penetrate fast. The small-diameter ones – particularly Opuntia glochids – push through fabric and thin synthetics at light contact. Effective gloves for handling cactus need a dense, uniform surface with no perforated panels or ventilation holes where fine spines can pass through. Goatskin leather provides exactly that, deflecting small spines at the surface rather than slowing them down. Fir Tree Gloves makes their gauntlet model available for larger cactus work, where forearm coverage prevents spine contact during the rotation and repositioning that transplanting requires.
