When we source rugged outdoors wear, so much seems designed just for men that we find ourselves drawn to the occasional gems designed specifically with women in mind. But in our recent Reader Survey, we learned there are some male gardeners reading these pages who felt left out of the fun.
For their benefit: a roundup of five favorite gardening gloves that are particularly well suited for men. Not that this should stop our women readers from also giving them a try. To each his or her own, we say.
