We're going to start with the gardening PPE that we use to make sure our Bristol gardens keep us out of a&e!
So lets start with hands, as they are your most important tool...
Gardening Gloves
Whilst Cooljob offer a massive range of gardening gloves they do a great range of recycled and bamboo summer gloves:
All at an affordable price so that you can have back up pairs for those days when the rain is relentless:

We've all been out in the mud and cold but these Cooljob Winter Gardening Gloves enable you to work longer without having to change them up.

Protecting Your Knees
I am a slim build and find most inbuilt kneepads slip about - these Thunderbolt kneepads have lasted well over 2 years now and are still going strong. I know the velcro fastenings aren't for everyone but they work really well for me and I've definitely saved a lot of stress on my knees.
Designed for a secure fit, the knee pads stay in place while providing exceptional comfort, allowing you to focus on your work without any distractions or discomfort.
Eyes!
So important to protect your eyes - branches, strimming debris or even insects - only takes a second and it could be life changing.
These safety glasses from Kurtzy have been tested and conform to the EN166 standard. They also have resistance to ultraviolet radiation, resistance to corrosion and resistance to ignition. Since these goggles wraparound the face they fit securely on women, men and children with no slipping. See images for full dimensions.
These safety glasses feature an orange rubber grip on the bridge of the nose as well as on the end of the arms that sit behind your ear. This ensures that even when you are facing down working on a project, the eyeglasses will stay firmly on your face. This stops debris and dust - so important.
Steel Toe Capped Safety Boots
Steel toe capped safety boots are a must for us. Beeswift chelsea boots aren't available in any sizes smaller than 6 but we've added comfy insoles and always wear thick socks and actually they've really been great and lasted over 2 years now - we love the fact that they come off easily which is great for minimising the amount of mud transferred into the wagon.
