The Atlas Orange Gloves are good cold weather and winter gloves. They are warm and sturdy. The Orange Ones are highly flexible and made of vinyl with a cotton liner. They are washable and resistant to most garden chemicals. They have a longer cuff, more like a gauntlet, that makes them ideal for getting in rose bushes, junipers and anything sticky or thorny. I prefer them when the weather is cool and damp. They're great for weeding, planting and general yard work. They are machine washable, true to size and their bright orange color makes them pretty hard to lose. I like the Green Ones for warmer weather...they breathe.
