FAQs

Are these gloves fully waterproof?

The latex-coated palm and fingers offer significant water resistance, making them suitable for wet conditions. However, the breathable knitted back is not fully waterproof and may allow moisture ingress in prolonged submersion or heavy rain.

What is the primary purpose of the thermal liner?

The 10-gauge brushed acrylic thermal liner is designed to provide insulation and keep your hands warm in cold working environments.

How do I know if I've chosen the right size?

The gloves should fit snugly but not be uncomfortably tight. The elasticated cuff should secure the glove at the wrist without restricting circulation. If possible, consult a sizing chart provided by the manufacturer or retailer.

What kind of mechanical hazards do these gloves protect against?

These gloves are rated to EN388:2016 2242X, indicating protection against abrasion (level 2), cutting (level 2), tearing (level 4), and puncture (level 2). The 'X' indicates they have not been tested for or do not meet the requirements for the specific cut resistance test (level X).

Can I use these gloves for fine motor tasks?

While the textured latex improves grip and dexterity, these are heavy-duty thermal gloves. For extremely fine manipulation tasks, a thinner glove might be more appropriate, but these offer a good balance of warmth, protection, and grip for general handling.

How many pairs are included in a pack?

Each pack contains 6 pairs of gloves.

Are these gloves suitable for chemical handling?

These gloves are primarily designed for thermal insulation and mechanical protection with grip. The latex coating offers some resistance, but they are not specifically rated or recommended for handling hazardous chemicals or solvents. Check the product specifications or consult the manufacturer for chemical resistance data.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to sizing guides if available. For a slightly looser fit, check if a larger size is available. The breathable liner may take a short period to conform to your hand shape.

Reduced grip after getting wet

The textured latex is designed for grip in wet conditions. Ensure the palm and finger surfaces are free from excessive mud or debris that could impede grip. Dry the gloves thoroughly after use; dampness can sometimes affect the texture.

Hands feel cold despite wearing gloves

Verify the gloves are completely dry inside and out. Ensure the elasticated cuff is snug against the wrist to prevent cold air from entering. For extreme cold, consider wearing a thin liner glove underneath, though this may slightly reduce dexterity.

Latex coating shows signs of wear or cracking

This can occur with prolonged use or exposure to abrasive materials. Inspect gloves regularly and replace them if the coating is significantly damaged, as this compromises grip and protection. Avoid harsh solvents or chemicals.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent thermal insulation for cold weather work.
  • Superior grip in both wet and dry conditions due to textured latex.
  • Comfortable for extended wear with a breathable back.
  • Durable and resistant to perforation and absorption.
  • Provides certified protection against mechanical hazards.
  • Secure fit with elasticated cuffs.

Cons

  • The breathable back may not offer full waterproof protection.
  • Latex coating may degrade with prolonged exposure to certain chemicals or solvents.
  • May not provide sufficient protection for extremely sharp objects.
  • Fit might be less precise for very fine manipulation tasks compared to thinner gloves.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These gloves require no special setup. They are ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: Suitable for a wide range of manual tasks in cold, dry, or wet conditions. They are designed for general handling, construction, maintenance, agriculture, and cold storage environments.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: For best results, clean the gloves by hand using mild soap and cool water. Rinse thoroughly.
  2. Drying: Allow the gloves to air dry completely at room temperature. Avoid using high heat sources like direct sunlight, heaters, or tumble dryers, as this can damage the latex and the thermal liner.
  3. Storage: Store the gloves in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and chemicals. Ensure they are fully dry before storing to prevent mildew.
  4. Inspection: Before each use, inspect the gloves for any signs of wear, tears, or damage to the latex coating or stitching. Replace if compromised.
