Best gloves to tackle nettles

The nettle population in my allotment has exploded and after many sore days, I realised that my gardening gloves are totally useless against them.

Can anyone recommend the best type to get to stop me getting stung?

 

Glyphosate ones

 

Scaffolders gloves...you can get them at Screwfix. they stand up really well to nettles & brambles.

 

I use scaffolders type gloves made from thick material . If you can get long ones it will help.

 

Or use a small fork and don't put your hands anywhere near them.

 

I just get stung. It doesn't really hurt and if you grab the stems low down they don't sting anyway.

 

Rubber or moulded gloves, worn with long sleeves!

 

Wish I'd seen the bit about long sleeves earlier lol...
ended up getting normal rubber kitchen gloves worn under half waterproof garden gloves.

Worked great for my hands, not so much for my arms...

 

Just use a dock leaf as a poultice if it is really bugging you.

 

long sleeved bee gloves are great , I have a old pair for when I am pruning roses etc

 

They hurt me! At sometime of the year , not sure which , the sting can last for 48 hours.
You must be one of this lot Longk

 

@HarryS - bee stings is bad as I go into anaphylactic shock.

 

noooooooooooooo *shudder*
