FELCO 705 - Premium Leather Rose Pruning Gloves - Long Suede Gauntlet - Thorn-Resistant Forearm Protection

FELCO 705 - Leather Rose Pruning Gloves - Long Suede Gauntlet - Thorn-Resistant Forearm Protection

Rose gardens, bougainvillaea, and dense brambles punish unprotected forearms as quickly as hands. The FELCO 705 combines premium top-grain cow leather hand enclosures with an extended genuine suede gauntlet and adjustable cuff buckle, delivering thorn resistance with the suppleness needed for prolonged deadheading and structural trimming.

Certified to EN388:2016 (2.1.2.2.X), the gloves balance flexibility and mechanical protection for light cuts and abrasive bark contact. The adjustable nylon strap and buckle at the cuff prevents debris ingress when reaching deep into thorny canopies across five sizes from S to XXL.

Best For: Rose growers, landscape gardeners, estate managers, and floriculturists who need flexible, puncture-defending leather gloves with extended forearm protection for roses, bougainvillaea, and brambles.

Key Features:

• Premium Top-Grain Cow Leather: Soft, flexible grain cowhide maintains tactile sensitivity and excellent tear resistance.
• Extended Suede Gauntlet Protection: Heavy cow leather suede cuff shields forearms against scraping branches and hidden thorns.
• Adjustable Nylon Strap and Buckle: Locking buckle secures the gauntlet and blocks leaves, twigs, and dirt from entering.
• Certified Mechanical Protection: EN388:2016 rating 2.1.2.2.X for reliable protection against light cuts and abrasive contact.
• Ergonomic Professional Fit: Contoured design eliminates stiff pressure points during all-day pruning tasks.

Primary Cultivation Applications

• Rose & Bramble Pruning: Deadheading and shaping roses, raspberry canes, and blackberries without thorn punctures.
• Dense Shrubbery Clearing: Bougainvillaea vines, timber stakes, and overgrown shrubbery with forearm coverage.
• Estate Maintenance: Weeding, planting, and maintenance where vertical forearm scratches are common.

Pro Tip & Maintenance: Brush thorns from suede gauntlets after each session to prevent fibre damage. Condition leather periodically and avoid soaking; wet leather stiffens and shrinks. Tighten the cuff buckle before reaching into deep canopies to keep debris out.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Oversized, heavy, and structural goods ship via specialist freight. Freight is calculated at checkout from estimated packaged volumetric or physical weight. Carrier depot audits may adjust the rate — if the increase exceeds 10%, we will contact you before processing.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup — default method
✔ Direct delivery — requires an operational forklift on site unless Tailgate Delivery has been specifically requested and quoted (contact us — this cannot be selected at checkout)
✔ Tailgate hydraulic lift delivery — must be specifically requested; contact us for a quote (not available as a checkout option; extra fees apply; required if you do not have a forklift)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Any carton or consignment over 25–30kg (or over 200cm) must be palletised
• Without a specifically requested and paid Tailgate Delivery quote, palletised freight requires a forklift on site — otherwise the carrier will redirect to the nearest depot
• Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box — provide a physical street address
• Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions

Business Delivery:

• Selecting a business/commercial delivery rate warrants that the address has an operational forklift and certified operator during business hours
• If the carrier cannot unload, the consignment may be redirected to a depot and secondary fees may apply
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

See our Terms & Conditions (Article 8) for full freight and delivery rules.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse is a logistics hub, not a retail showroom. Listing a product online does not mean it is stored at our Thomastown warehouse — many lines ship from supplier hubs (split fulfilment may apply).

How lead times work:

• Product page ETA: The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) / lead-time badge shown on the product page at checkout is the agreed delivery timeframe for that order under Australian Consumer Law.
• Metro baselines: Advertised ETAs apply to standard metropolitan zones. Regional and remote addresses may take longer and may attract surcharges.
• Peak seasons: Orders in March–May, August–October, EOFY (June), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (November), and Christmas/New Year (December–January) may automatically add a 2–4 week buffer beyond the product page ETA.
• Supplier-dependent / backordered items: If stock is delayed, we will notify you with a revised ETA. You then have 7 days to accept the new timeframe or cancel for a full refund.
• Adloheat: Custom-made products from Adloheat (Pakenham, VIC) may take 4–12 weeks depending on the order.

Full fulfilment, cancellation, and freight rules are in our Terms & Conditions.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
