I have a really old set of rings - no handles and not much grip so I quit using them. Just ordered the ones from Amazon and will try them. Would love Martelli but too many $$$ for me.
For gloves, I have some garden gloves that I got years ago and a garden show. They fit firmly, I can move my hands/fingers easily and they are very sticky - they work well for me. (I got a 6 pack for $2 back in the eary 1990's)
