Product Information

Full details

The SHOWA 282-02 TEMRES Gloves are designed for professionals and outdoor enthusiasts who need reliable hand protection in cold, wet, and demanding conditions. Their key benefit is providing superior waterproof and breathable insulation to keep hands warm and dry without sacrificing dexterity. A potential caveat is that while highly durable, extreme abrasion might eventually affect the coating. These gloves integrate advanced TEMRES waterproof and breathable technology, a fleece-lined interior for thermal insulation, and a durable polyurethane coating. Key features include an extended cuff with adjustable drawcord for secure fit, a rough-textured palm for enhanced grip, and a seamless ergonomic design for comfort and flexibility.

FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for prolonged submersion in water?

The SHOWA 282-02 gloves are designed for protection against wet conditions and splashes, not for prolonged submersion. While waterproof, extended immersion may eventually lead to moisture ingress.

Can I use these gloves for handling sharp objects?

These gloves are not designed for cut or puncture protection. They offer protection against cold and moisture. For handling sharp objects, specific cut-resistant gloves are recommended.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The gloves should fit snugly but comfortably, allowing for full hand movement and dexterity. There should be no excessive looseness or tightness that restricts circulation or fine motor skills.

What makes the TEMRES technology different from other waterproof gloves?

TEMRES technology combines waterproofness with breathability, allowing sweat vapor to escape while preventing water from entering. This dual function helps maintain comfort by reducing internal moisture buildup.

Can these gloves be machine washed or dried?

No, machine washing or drying is not recommended as it can damage the waterproof coating, fleece lining, and overall integrity of the gloves. Hand wash with cold water and air dry.

What does the EN511 certification mean?

The EN511 certification indicates that the gloves have been tested and meet standards for protection against convective and contact cold, and waterproofness.

How durable is the polyurethane coating?

The polyurethane coating is durable for normal use in cold and wet conditions. However, it can be susceptible to abrasion, cuts, or damage from sharp objects.

Troubleshooting

Hands feel cold despite wearing the gloves

Ensure the gloves are the correct size and fit snugly without restricting circulation. Check that the extended cuff is properly secured to prevent cold air or snow from entering. Verify the fleece lining is intact and dry.

Gloves feel wet inside

The TEMRES technology is breathable, so some moisture vapor may escape. If significant wetness is present, check for any breaches in the waterproof coating or if the gloves were submerged for extended periods beyond their intended use. Ensure gloves are completely dry before storing.

Reduced grip in wet conditions

Clean the textured palm with water to remove any dirt or residue that might be affecting grip. Ensure the gloves are not excessively worn, as this can diminish the texture's effectiveness.

Extended cuff is uncomfortable or too loose/tight

Adjust the drawcord and side-release buckle for a secure yet comfortable fit. If the cuff material is stiff, wear the gloves for a short period to allow them to break in.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The SHOWA 282-02 gloves are ready to use directly out of the packaging. Ensure you select the correct size for a snug but comfortable fit, allowing for natural hand movement. The adjustable drawcord and side-release buckle on the extended cuff should be tightened to your preference for secure forearm protection.

Compatibility: These gloves are designed for use in cold, wet, and moderately demanding environments. They are compatible with handling tools, equipment, and materials in low temperatures. They are certified to EN388 and EN511 standards for mechanical and cold protection, indicating their suitability for tasks covered by these certifications.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your SHOWA 282-02 gloves:

  1. Cleaning: Hand wash with cold water and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly.
  2. Drying: Air dry completely away from direct heat sources (like radiators or sunlight). Do not use machine dryers.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably uncompressed, to preserve the material's integrity and breathability.
  4. Inspection: Before each use, inspect the gloves for any signs of damage, such as tears, punctures, or degradation of the coating. Damaged gloves should not be used.
  5. Avoidance: Do not expose to solvents or chemicals that could degrade the polyurethane coating. Avoid prolonged contact with harsh oils or greases.
