I do same as you and try to buy the cheapest so it's least painful to toss when they tear.

Thank you. I never get the plastic coated ones as clean as I would like. Happy gardening.

Just "discovered" the Atlas Nitrile 370 Touch gloves (here is a link to show you what I am talking about; ignore the price, you can get them cheaper elsewhere.) My brother uses them and recommended them to me. They are probably the best gloves I have ever tried for general gardening tasks - weeding, pruning, digging and such, though you need something more protective if you are working on thorny things, lol. You can even tie your shoes when wearing the gloves because your sense of touch remains that sensitive despite the extra layer between you and the lace.

And, another important plus, they are very easy to clean. I hand wash them in my sink, using liquid dishwashing soap, just so they will be ready for the next day, but they can be thrown in the washing machine as well if you have a load of laundry ready to be washed. I hang them to drip dry; it doesn't take long.

They are offered at the local nursery that I frequent, too, so other gardeners have obviously "discovered" them as well. I may have to buy a case so I don't run out of them in my lifetime, should the manufacturer inexplicably decide to discontinue them, as seems to happen when you find something wonderful - I only have one extra pair right now.
