Used these a lot when I used to do gardening work, protect well against bramble, blackthorn, pyracantha etc.

Gloves

Granted these are a multipack, but any half decent leather gloves will do, while still maintaining reasonable dexterity, which is always a bit of a trade off with thicker gloves.

I use welding gauntlets. Not particularly expensive. They have the benefit of extending up the forearms so I don't get lacerated wrists
I do exactly the same - perfect for the job and nothing gets through, I think the last pair I bought were something like £3.50 from Toolstation which is ridiculously cheap.

...I tell a lie it was Screwfix and £3.99:

I’ve just invested in a pair, ridiculously good value and whilst doing battle with a pyracantha
nothing got through.
Then it was on to brambles, their large thorns did not get through
but some small new growth thorns did break off and get stuck in the nap of the suede.
