Normally I use leather roping gloves when I work in the yard. Had one pair that lasted 10 years! But they don't work for wet work, so I picked up some bright pink Cancer Awareness nitrile coated gloves.

These are fantastic. I wore them while ripping out some Rubus/Blackberry brambles and they stood up to the thorns just fine; no holes. And with the extremely bright pink color, it's is difficult to misplace these gloves.
