The Portwest A143 Thermal Soft Grip Glove is designed for individuals working in cold environments who need to maintain dexterity and grip. Its key benefit is providing exceptional warmth and superior grip performance in wet or dry conditions, allowing for confident work in chilly environments without compromising comfort or safety. A potential caveat is that while offering excellent tactile sensitivity for thermal gloves, extreme cold might still impact performance for prolonged, highly demanding tasks. This glove features a warm 10-gauge acrylic liner, a foamed latex palm dip for excellent grip, and a palm-dipped coating that enhances dexterity and ventilation for prolonged wear.

The gloves offer excellent grip in wet conditions due to the foamed latex coating, but they are not fully waterproof. The acrylic liner can absorb moisture, and water can enter through the cuff area.
These gloves are designed for thermal protection and grip. They do not provide protection against sharp objects or cuts. Refer to cut-resistant gloves for such applications.
The Portwest A143 Thermal Soft Grip Glove is CE certified with a Dexterity 5 rating according to EN ISO 21420:2020, indicating the highest level of dexterity.
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Portwest. Generally, measure the circumference of your palm and the length of your hand. The A143 comes in Medium, Large, and XL. Ensure a snug but not tight fit for optimal performance.
The liner is made of tough 10-gauge acrylic, providing warmth and comfort.
It is recommended to hand wash these gloves with mild soap and cold water. Machine washing and tumble drying can damage the materials and affect their performance and fit.
The EN 511 standard is for protection against cold. The X1X rating indicates specific performance levels for resistance to convective cold (X - not tested or below minimum), contact cold (1 - fair), and water permeability (X - not tested or below minimum).
Ensure the gloves are clean and dry. Any dirt or moisture on the foamed latex can affect grip. If the coating appears worn, it may be time to replace the gloves.
Verify that the gloves are the correct size and are not too tight, which can restrict blood circulation. Ensure the gloves are fully dry; damp gloves lose insulating properties. For extremely low temperatures, consider layering thin liner gloves if space permits, or switching to a more heavily insulated model.
This can sometimes happen with new gloves or after improper drying. Try wearing them for short periods to break them in. Ensure they are air-dried naturally, not with heat, as this can stiffen the materials.
The gloves feature a breathable seamless liner for comfort. If a seam feels irritating, check for any external debris caught in the stitching or try adjusting the fit. If the issue persists, the glove may not be the best fit for your hand shape.
Setup: These gloves are ready for immediate use upon unpacking. No specific setup is required.
Compatibility: The Portwest A143 gloves are designed for general use in cold environments where grip and dexterity are important. They are compatible with a wide range of tasks including general handling, construction, outdoor work, cold storage, and logistics.
