Dealing with cuts and scratches in the garden was a daily occurrence that I accepted decades ago. It comes with the territory, right? Well, not since I discovered these amazing Kezzled Kevlar sleeves that are resistant to cuts, scratches, and heat. They’re a total game-changer. Whether you’re pruning roses or trees or handling cacti, these sleeves will keep your arms and hands safe and sound. They’re thin and breathable too. You can choose from a variety of colors and order them with or without the fingers covered. Invest in a pair, and your arms and hands will thank you.
