High Grip Anti-Odour Gardening Gloves – Banana Growing, Planting & Harvesting

Keep your hands protected while you’re gardening! 🍌🌱

Growing bananas is rewarding, but it’s not always the cleanest job!

Between digging, planting banana suckers, handling potting mix, removing weeds and maintaining your banana plants, your hands can certainly get a workout.

Our Black High Grip Anti-Odour Gardening Gloves are designed to make everyday gardening jobs more comfortable, providing excellent grip, flexibility and protection against general wear and abrasion.

With their breathable, stretchy material and specially coated palms, these gloves are ideal for backyard banana growers who want to get their hands into the garden — without getting quite so much garden on their hands!

Why are these gloves great for banana growers?

Banana plants grow quickly, and keeping them healthy involves regular hands-on maintenance.

Whether you’re establishing your first banana sucker or looking after an established banana patch, a comfortable pair of gardening gloves makes the job easier.

Perfect for everyday banana-growing tasks:

• Planting banana suckers: Handle potting mix, soil and young plants while establishing new banana plants.
• Potting up: Fill planter bags, position young suckers and transplant established plants into larger growing bags.
• Weeding: Grip and remove unwanted weeds around your banana plants.
• General plant maintenance: Tidy loose, dried leaf material and handle garden debris.
• Fitting banana bunch covers: Maintain a good grip while positioning covers and securing ties.
• Harvesting preparation: Handle light gardening materials and carry out general tidying around your banana plants.
• General gardening: Ideal for potting, planting, mulching and everyday garden maintenance.

They’re a great all-round gardening glove, not just something you’ll use in the banana patch.

Excellent grip, even in damp conditions

Anyone who’s worked around banana plants knows that things can get a little slippery.

Wet leaves, damp potting mix and garden tools aren’t always easy to handle.

These gloves feature multi-layer Gripmaster palm-coating technology, designed to provide excellent grip in wet and oily conditions.

The specialised coating also helps resist oil penetration while maintaining flexibility.

This makes them particularly useful when working with planter bags, handling gardening materials or carrying out routine maintenance.

Anti-Bac treatment helps control unpleasant odours

Nobody particularly enjoys pulling off their gardening gloves after a long afternoon and discovering they’ve developed a personality of their own!

These Black Knight gloves feature an Anti-Bac antimicrobial treatment designed to inhibit bacterial growth associated with unpleasant glove odours.

This helps keep your gloves fresher between uses, particularly during regular gardening work.

The antimicrobial treatment is incorporated into the gloves themselves. It is not a substitute for handwashing or appropriate hygiene precautions.

Comfortable, breathable and flexible

A good gardening glove needs to protect your hands without making every little job difficult.

These gloves feature a 13-gauge seamless Nylon/Lycra shell that stretches to fit comfortably around your hands and fingers.

The close-fitting design allows good dexterity, making them particularly useful for tasks requiring a little more control.

That includes handling young banana plants, tying bunch covers, potting up suckers and removing smaller weeds.

The breathable fabric also helps reduce heat build-up during gardening work.

And that’s certainly welcome when you’re gardening in an Australian summer!

Machine washable – ready for the next gardening session

Banana growing can be messy.

Fortunately, these gloves are machine washable, making them easy to clean after working in soil, mulch or potting mix.

According to the product specifications, normal machine washing does not reduce the effectiveness of the Anti-Bac treatment.

Simply follow the manufacturer’s care instructions and allow the gloves to dry properly before storing.

Understanding the EN388 protection rating

These gloves have an EN388 mechanical protection rating of 4131.

Here’s what that means:

Protection type	Rating	Performance
Abrasion resistance	4/4	Excellent
Blade-cut resistance	1/5	Low
Tear resistance	3/4	Very good
Puncture resistance	1/4	Low

The excellent abrasion rating makes these gloves particularly suitable for general gardening tasks involving repeated handling of materials.

However, they’re not designed to provide high-level protection against sharp blades, thorns or puncture hazards.

Important: If you’re using machetes, pruning saws, knives or other sharp tools to harvest banana bunches or cut down pseudostems, use appropriate protective equipment suited to those hazards.

What size gardening gloves should I choose?

A comfortable fit makes all the difference.

These gloves contain stretchy Lycra, allowing them to fit closely around your hands while maintaining flexibility.

As a general guide:

• Small: Smaller hands and fingers.
• Medium: Often suitable for average-sized women’s hands.
• Large: Often suitable for average-sized men’s hands.
• Extra Large: Larger hands, wider palms or longer fingers.

These are general suggestions only. Hand size and shape vary, so choose the size that provides a comfortable, secure fit without restricting movement.

Great for planting banana suckers

Starting new banana plants from suckers?

These gloves are particularly handy when preparing and filling our 5 Litre Tall Banana Sucker Planter Bags.

The high-grip palms make it easier to handle potting materials, while the stretchy construction provides the flexibility needed when positioning young plants.

Once your suckers have established, you’ll find the gloves just as useful when transplanting them into larger woven planter bags or their permanent position in the garden.

A handy addition to your banana-growing toolkit

A healthy banana patch needs regular attention.

From planting your first sucker to protecting your developing fruit, there are plenty of jobs that are easier with a good pair of gardening gloves.

Our Black High Grip Anti-Odour Gardening Gloves combine comfort, flexibility, excellent grip and machine-washable convenience.

They’re a practical choice for everyday banana-growing jobs and general garden maintenance.

Keep your hands comfortable, your grip secure and your banana patch looking its best! 🍌
