Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of vibration do these gloves protect against?

These gloves are designed to protect against harmful hand-arm vibration transmitted from tools like jackhammers and concrete breakers.

Are these gloves waterproof?

The product information does not specify waterproof capabilities. They are designed for vibration protection and general mechanics work.

What is the dexterity rating and what does it mean?

The gloves have a dexterity rating of Level 5, which is the highest level. This means they offer maximum dexterity, allowing for precise and unhindered hand movements.

How do I know which size glove to order?

Refer to the manufacturer's sizing guide, typically based on hand measurements, to select the most appropriate size for a secure and effective fit.

Can I use these gloves for protection against cuts or impact?

These gloves are primarily designed for vibration reduction. They do not offer specific protection against sharp objects or significant impact.

What is the benefit of the wrist strap?

The wrist strap provides a secure fit, ensuring the glove remains stable during use and preventing slippage, which is important for both comfort and maintaining protection.

Are these gloves suitable for all types of work?

They are ideal for jobs involving heavy vibrating machinery like those in construction, joinery, and masonry. For light-duty tasks or where impact protection is paramount, other specialized gloves might be more suitable.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the sizing guide. If a size up is needed, exchange for the next size. A slight break-in period may also improve comfort.

Reduced vibration dampening over time

Inspect the palm material for damage or excessive wear. If the material appears compromised, it is time to replace the gloves for continued protection.

Wrist strap not holding securely

Ensure the hook-and-loop fastener is clean and free of debris. Reapply the strap firmly. If the fastener is worn out, replacement may be necessary.
