HARVESTING - Harvesting Clothing
FGS Harvesting Gloves
Every now and then a
great product comes to us that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. This was
the case with the "harvesting gloves". Previous to our discovery
of this glove the only thing that was available to the harvester was a
cotton glove which typically lasted only about four days and would constantly
absorb water. The harvesting glove, on the other hand, is manufactured
from a polypropylene blend. The advantage to this type of fabric is:
- The glove lasts about three weeks in a typical eight
hour day harvesting situation.
- The glove does not absorb perspiration, which leaves
the hands feeling cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
- All the harvesting companies commented that their pack-outs
went up using this glove.
- The glove can be re-washed and will come back to it's
original shape.
- The gloves are ambidextrous.
All this for a dollar a pair. We couldn't even find a cotton
glove that sold in the stores for under $1.50. Now we have found that the
harvesters are bringing the gloves home to use in their gardens. Available
in sizes small, medium, large & extra large.
